Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of chronic diarrhea and almost all the investigations being normal except microscopic colitis and ejection fraction of HIDA scan at 99%.
I would advise you the following in such a situation.
Since all the investigations are within normal limits this can be due to IBS meaning irritable bowel syndrome.
Consult a Gastroenterologist and get started on the basis of IBS and you may get well.
Keep a track of the foods and beverages and the factors that instigate or enhance your problems and stop them altogether.
No stress and/or anxiety as these too increase your problem.
Change of lifestyle helps a lot.
See the difference after these changes and continue if these work well for you.
