Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea
Have had diarrhea for about two weeks. Do not have nausea or pain, but have diarrhea several times during the day and at night. It strikes quickly and without warning. At about the time it started, I was drinking green smoothies with a combination of varying ingredients...pineapple, mango, oranges, bananas, strawberries (two or three of these in a drink) with 1/4 cup spinach and 1/4 cup kale. I sometimes add 1/4 cup coconut/almond milk and/or 1/4 cup plain low fat Greek yogurt and cinnamon. Have tried changing the combination of ingredients and even stopped the smoothies, but it does not seem to help. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of diarrhea which can be due to many reasons like food intolerance, bacterial infection by H. pylori, food allergy, parasitic infection or inflammatory bowel disease. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antacids along with proton pump inhibitors like ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with loperamide. You should take oral rehydrating solution. For now eat light and non spicy , eat fresh fruits and vegetables and eat fruits like banana .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
