Brief Answer:
As mentioned below
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear XXXXX
Welcome to HCM and thanks for the query
I understand your concern and sorry for your problem
Since when do you have this problem ?
Do you have any other symptoms like weight loss, blood in stool, abdominal pain and bloating, lack of appetite, nausea ?
In absence of other symptoms, tiredness could be due to dehydration (ongoing diarrhea), low haemoglobin level.
If the diarrhea lasts for longer than 48 hours, stool tests should be done.
If you have undergone any investigations then upload the investigation's result at the report section for my review.
Meanwhile take the following advises:
Drink plenty of water and keep yourself well hydrated
Eat diet like banana, boiled rice with added lime juice, toast, fresh fruits, buttermilk and yogurt
Do not consume spicy/oily/fatty food.
Capsule Sporolac (probiotic) three times a day will help replenish the intestine with good bacteria
Do regular exercise like walking and yoga daily in the morning for 45-60 minutes.
This is my personal opinion based on information available
If you have further query then I will be happy to help you
Best Regards
Dr. Sagar
