Hello,

History of passing stool (liquid) for years may not indicate any disease, but it could be due to diet alone because any disease if not treated well in time, then it may come out with very bad consequences. I would advise changing the diet avoid taking too much fiber.

An intermittent episode of some bacterial infection may likely and for that, I would suggest trying tablet Doxycycline once in a day for ten days, second and most important is to send the stool for culture sensitivity test, even may needs some other GI investigations, if condition does not improve with suggested advise for medicine and diet.


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

Regards,
