Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Constipation And Liquid Stools
Please follow. ..
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking on HCM!
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows :
1. You are concerned about hepatitis C infection.
At this point I would suggest to do :
- anti-HCV serology test
- AST and ALt plus bilirubine
- abdominal ultrasound
to definitely rule out/confirm hepatitis C
2. With regards to your symptoms, I can say that your symptoms are not typical for hepatitis C infection.
To my opinion most probably your symptoms are related with :
- metphormine side effects
- IBS
- C.diff infection
This is why I would suggest to do fecal culture test to better evaluate about c.diff infection.
I would suggest too to discuss with your endocrinologyst about metformine, if it can be changed with another drug to avoid such side effects.
Hope it was helpful to you!
