Hello,
Frequent episodes of loose stools since six months needs to be investigated.
All your complaints suggest indicate sub-acute infection.
You need to have stool analysis to identify organism, consult your doctor and plan for colonoscopy to identify irritable bowel syndrome. If ulcers or other lesions are present it will be visible during colonoscopy. You should also undergo ultrasound abdomen and pelvis scan will help identify sub-acute infection.
Norflox alone is not sufficient. You will also need anti-parasitic medication.
Avoid spicy food.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wish you good health.
