Suggest Medication For Diarrhea After Every Meal

I ve had diarrhea for nearly a month. At first I was pretty sick and only had clear liquids for 48 hours, which didn t help. Now it s just diarrhea. When I eat, I have to go immediately. I told my doctor who put me on Ciprofoxacin, which didn t work. She put me on Metronidizole and that isn t working either. What could it be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of starting liquid watery diarrhea for 2 days about a month back, now it is just diarrhea and comes on after food every time, not responding to Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole.
I would advise you the following in such a case:
- Stool tests for 3 consecutive days.
- Blood: Thyroid profile, sugar and other routine test.
- Ultrasonography of the abdomen and CT scan if something is suspicious.
- Colonoscopy and biopsy.
- Tests for intolerance to gluten and so.
All these reports will help us to get a proper diagnosis and proper management.
I find this answer helpful
