What Is The Solution For Diarrhoea, Mucous In Stools After Knee Replacement Surgery?

since last august I have had diahhrea, fuzzy, skinny, mucus stools. I was in the hospital for knee replacement in July and on a lot of antibi's. I got tested for c-def but it was negative. Since I lost about 5lbs. I decided not to look into this yet. I am 65 and other than no energy I am in very good health. I take 20 mil 1xday citalaphram.
Any suggestions?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your concern, here could say that the possibilities of intestinal infection is very likely and this could be protozoa infection, if I would be your doctor then I would treat you with the following medicine,
1) Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day for five days
2) lyophilized lactobacillus sachets three times in day
hope this information helps you, have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
