Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chronic diarrhea . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like bacterial or viral infection, food intolerance , food allergy , parasitic infection or inflammatory bowel disease. Need not to worry. You should take plenty of fluids to re-hydrate. Take diet rich in multivitamins and avoid any oily sharp and fast food. Take diet rich in fibres as well. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with loperamide . 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
