Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
If I were your treating doctor for this case of severe diarrhea I would come up with these possibilities , these includes .
1 Secretory causes are due to derangement in fluid and electrolyte transport across the enterocolic mucosa.Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical as well clinical examination by a gasroenterologist. In this case usually volume of stool is large and large not watery.
2 Carbohydrate
malabsorption , diagnosis can be confirmed by examination of lactase as the deficiency of lactase is the main cause .
3 Steatorrheal causes , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination of stool because in this case consistency of stool is greasy, foul-smelling difficult to flush diarrhea often associated with weight loss and
nutritional deficiency ( as folic acid &
vitamin B deficiency in your case)
4 However it is very difficult to mention the causes of diarrhea but few such as factial diarrhea , diarrhea due to other disease such as
hyperthyroidism , carcinoid syndrome. TENSION may be the one such cause.
In my opinion the best way is to
consult a gastroenterologist and get his opinion.Good luck. D.r HET
