Suggest Treatment For Persistent Diarrhea And Lower Abdominal Pain

I have what I believe to be IBS-D and am being treated with something orange flavored I stir in water. This medicine plugs me up for a good day or so and then diarrhea comes back with a vengeance. Since Thanksgiving I had not only had diarrhea, but also shooting pain in my lower stomach. I haven t found any food that doesn t set it off. Any suggestions?

Hi....

Welcome to healthcare magic.

According to your complain you have problem of severe diarrhea that may be because of infection of gastrointestinal tract.

Parasitic or bacteria infection also cause this type of symptoms.

Food intolerance may ruled out.
Intestinal condition like celiac disease may cause diarrhea after taking gluten foods.

Stool sample test is helpful for further diagnosis.

Colonoscopy examination and biopsy can done for further diagnosis.
Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.

I hope my guidance helpful to you..
Take care.

Thank you.
