Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea And Negative Blood Report In Stool Tests
Question: Bowel test showed negative for blood. Diarrhea has since stopped. Possible allergic reaction to environmental factors. Thank you.
Brief Answer:
Possible that you had an infection after taking contaminated food or water
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
As the diarrhea has since stopped and you have recovered completely, it might be possible that you had a mild infection related to intake of contaminated food or water. In other words, the food and water were not healthy enough and therefore you had diarrhea.
It will help to take healthy home cooked food for a month and to make sure your drinking water is clean. It is better to avoid oily foods and always consume your meals when they are freshly prepared. Drink lots of fresh juices and water.
As the test is negative for blood in the bowel, there is no concern.
I hope you have taken probiotics and medicines as prescribed by your doctor.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
