Brief Answer:
Inflammation or infection of intestine
Detailed Answer:
Hello doc,
I can understand your concern for your symptoms
1) Stop Tab Ganaton for now as this increase small intestine movement which might be responsible for increased frequency of stool
2) Yes, you can take Providac but it will not give quick effect. This is just supplemental therapy.
3) Mucus with increased frequency of stool suggest either inflammation or infection for which I recommend to do CBC and stool routine examination.
4) You should continue Mabeverine.
5) Also consider to start empirical antibiotic therapy (Ciproflocaxin+Tinidazole or Ofloxacin + Ornidazole) considering infection as a cause for your loose stool.
6) Avoid fat-rich, gluten-rich diet, oily-junk food.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any further doubts, I would be happy to help you.
Have a nice day.
