Hello Doctor, for the past 1 year, I have been passing loose stools 1 to 2 times every morning. The frequency is normal (only 1-2 times), but the consistency of the stool is completely loose.I do not have any fever, there is no blood in my stool, and I do not experience any gas or bloating. I have noticed a clear pattern with my diet: green vegetables and fruits do not suit me at all and worsen the loose stools immediately. However, I can easily digest milk, ghee, and wheat roti without any issues. Since this loose stool issue has been persistent for a full year, please guide me on what could be causing this and what diagnostic tests I should get done. Thank you."
Around a week ago, I had a high fever and diarrhea. I was treated with ORS and plenty of fluids. The fever subsided, but I continued to experience a stomachache, slow digestion, foul-smelling gas, and less frequent diarrhea. My doctor prescribed a course of probiotics, which I completed, but it didn't provide much relief. After that, I took Norfloxacin for three days, which also had little effect. Currently, I started taking Metrogyl 400. I took a dose last night and felt relief from my stomach cramps this morning. Since I am prone to constipation, I would like to know the exact dosage and duration?
