Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
had diarrhea yesterday and saw several particles that looked like rice. I had not eaten rice recently so it freaked me out. I have a dog that sleeps on my bed and she has had many skin and stool problems, could some kind of parasite be passed on to me from the dog?
Here two possibility is there..... -parasite infection from dog -bacterial colitis....
Stool examination done for detection of parsite egg or trophozoites It is treated accordingly.... Albendazole drug might needed.
Second rice watery diarrhea can occur in cholera... Here any bacterial enteritis or colitis can be there.... Stool culture can be done .... For that metronidazole like antibiotic or doxycycline might needed according to cause...
Maintain hydration... More water.... Soft and bland diet taken.... Probiotic tablet taken.....
If still no improvement USG and if need colonoscopy with biopsy needed. Take care.
Hope your concern solved.... Dr.Parth
