What Causes Persistent Abdominal Cramping And Diarrhea Even After Discontinuing Atkins Diet?

I have had numerous episodes of abdominal cramping, followed by loose stools off and on for the past few months after being on the Atkins diet for 3 or 4 months. It s not constant but it s starting to affect my ability to function in the work place. I ve stopped the Atkins diet, increased fiber intake, starting taking a daily probiotic but I still have episodes of this approx. 1 a week but it sometimes last for a week or so.

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

It takes time to kick back in for the normal gastrointestinal functions once irritating factors are eliminated. You are doing good with fiber diet and probiotics. Keep it up and it will be all very fine in a couple of weeks. You may consult me back in two weeks for proper treatment if not resolved until then.


Hope I answered all of your questions. In future, if you need further, detailed and quick assistance on any health issue, feel free to ask me a question by writing my name as a reference in the start of your question. I will get back to you right away. Have a wonderful time ahead.


Regards!
