What Causes Extreme Runny Stools?
i am having extremely runny stools recently. It s not diarrhea, just extremely runny. I recently had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and everything was normal with the exception that i had intestinal metaplasia which my Dr said was extremely common and nothing to worry about. Other than that I am in perfect health.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of extreme runny stools which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis which is a type of viral infection. It could be due to electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take proper rest. You should do tepid sponging as well. Avoid intake of outside hot and spicy food substances. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of your condition whether bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly. You should avoid intake of outside food. You should have plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should take diet rich in multivitamins. You should diet rich in fibres and proton pump inhibitors. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-5 days.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
