Suggest Remedy For Constipation & Loss Of Body Weight
My son is 20 years old and has been losing weight now for some months. He is 5' 9" and weight is 133. He has blood and protein and puss in his urine. His doctor of course prescribed an antibiotic which resolves the issue but it comes back after a few weeks. He has problems with constipation as well. The weight loss has us very concerned and we would like advice on the proper course of action. Thank you
