Suggest Remedy For Stomach Ailments

I have had diarrhea for the past three months. The strange part is one day I may have one bowel movement which is extremely loose and then a couple of days I will have several movements. However, every day for the last three months this has been happening. I have seen my doctor, and had a stool test done but have not received any word yet on the results. I m leaving next Saturday for Florida and would like some answer before I leave. What do you think is wrong? No fever, but I do have extreme bloating. No chills, lots of gas and I am not a dairy fan.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history Loose tools and diarrhea for a few months. Stool report not yet available.
The most probable causes of such things are:
IBS that is irritable bowel syndrome.
Intolerance.
Sprue.
Crohs and so on.
You need the following:
Tests of stool.
Blood: sugar thryroid and liver functions.
Colonoscopy
CT scan of abdomen.
Clinical evaluation by Gastroenterologist.
This will give the correct diagnosis and plan of management.
