Suggest Treatment For Frequent Bowel Movements While On BRAT Diet
I am having frequent, small, black bowel movements. I frequently pass gas. I feel good and do not have pain anywhere. I have been on the BRAT diet for 48 hours which has helped a little but not much. It seems small feces come out each time I go to the bathroom. I have taken Pepto Bismol a few times but it did not help. Any suggestions?

Hello,
The given abdomen symptoms is suggestive of infection and most probably it could be protozoa if I would be doctor of this case then I would try to treat this case with tablet Metronidazole twice in day for five days, with advice to avoid the greasy, oily fat-containing food, drink more water, I would even prescribe tablet Omeprazole once in day, for three week.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Husain
