Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea

I am a 61 year old male in very good health who have been experiencing chronic loose stool and diahrea on and off for 1 or 2 days/week for several weeks leaving me weak at times with weight loss? Although I am lactose intolerant this is very unusal for me because I watch what I eat closely. I thought initially it might be triggered by a food allergy but it doesn t seem to be associated with food since I have been tracking when it occurrs? Thoughts?

Hello,

The issue of severe diarrhea is related to underlying intestine infection through some sort of bacteria or virus. As you have consumed best food, it can be possible through some
sort of water borne related disease. My guidelines at present:
- Drink more liquids in sessions including oral rehydration salt at an interval of every 15-20 minutes
- Dietary care to prefer bland, vegan diet with fresh yogurt in the routine intake
- Avoid all spices, non veg food
- Tablet sporolac containing lacto bacillus with Capsule Enuff containing Racecadrotil helps great
- Keep watch on your skin turgor and urine output

Report me after 24 hours about the progress and if needed consult your doctor at earliest for getting vital parameters checked.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
