What Does My Fecalysis Regarding Diarrhea Indicate?
Hi! I started having diarrhea that started Monday night until Tuesday afternoon almost every 1-2 hours. The gap changed on Wednesday afternoon (yesterday) and it is only when I have eaten (even just a cup of soup and a piece of bread)that my stomach starts to act up again. I started drinking Gatorade since I started having diarrhea. Yesterday, a doc gave me Erceflora that i have to mix with tea 3x a day and should stop taking it as soon as my diarrhea stops. I was able to take 1 last night and another this lunch. I just got my fecalysis this evening and it showed: 1-3/hpf pus cells; more than 50/hpf RBC; plenty of bacteria; but no ova or parasites. What do this all indicate?
