Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the frequency of stool with loose consistency indicates possible flare of inflammatory bowel disease with altered GI flora mechanics. Following suggestions will help you in this regard:
- Drink plenty of liquids including boiled water, lemon juice, coconut water, butter milk
- Prefer bland, vegan diet at present and avoid all the spices, non veg, junk food, dairy fat
- Intake of prebiotics with lacto bacillus and pro biotics with sacchharomyosis bullardiae
- Avoid stress and anxiety which are provoking factors for such
episodes

Do plan to discuss the need of Colonoscopy with your physician during next scheduled visit.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
