Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea And Anxiety
I have been suffering from diarrhea since January. It comes and goes. The first time, I took normix and enterogermina but it didn t stop. The doctor asked me to take acticarbine. It helped relieve gas and made me feel better. Unfortunately, a week after I felt better I suffered from diarrhea again. This time i did a stool analysis and culture. The results were clean. Last Sunday, I suffered from anxiety followed bu diarrhea. The doctor prescribed ercerpheril but it didn t work. On Friday I had diarrhea again. another doctor prescribed Flagyl. But today, i feel anxious again. I feel the same symptoms I had last Sunday before i got diarrhae. Any idea what might have caused it?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are having persistent episodes of diarrhea for months then you should consider visiting a gastroenterologist for assessment.
The assessment would include : (1)assessment of foods that may be causing the problem
(2)abdominal examination
(3)stool for analysis at the lab
(4)you may also need imaging of the abdomen
I hope this helps
