Suggest Alternative Medication For IBS

Diarrhea every hour, food particles, watery, dark and light, stomach pain all day and can’t eat, shivers and flu feeling, no fever, dizzy and disorientated, dehydration, confusion, nausea, indigestion, burping, gas, fluctuant, this has been about every 4 days for a year. My MD told me I have IBS, and to take over the counter meds, they have not helped. I am unable to function, unable to work, unable to continue like this.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Drugs like lactobacillus will be helpful. Consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated. A colonoscopy may be required to rule out other causes that will present with similar symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
