Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I am 56 years old and have been having really loose stools for the past week. My stools are yellow and yellow fluid with each bowel movement. I have a bowel movement within an hour or to after I eat. I have hoshimotos thyroid disease and lupus. Should I be concerned. I have back pain and I also have a pain on my left side right under my rib cage.
Well come to HCM Thank for asking, I appreciate your concern, if you are passing the stool two to three times in day then it could be normal one, if the symptoms are persistence then it may be due to some infection and it could be protozoa or bacterial infection or both could be together, if I would doctor of this case then I would treat this case with the medicine given below, Tab Doxycyline 100 mg once in day for five days Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day for five days, if the suggested treatment fails the condition may needs stool culture sensitivity test and other investigations, hope this information helps
