Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have loose stools and chronic diarrhea. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food intolerance , food allergy , bacterial or viral infection , parasitic infection or inflammatory bowel disease. Need not to worry. You should take small meals and frequent meals and avoid large meals at a time. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with loperamide . For now eat light and non spicy , eat fresh fruits and vegetables and eat fruits like banana .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
