Suggest Remedy For Stomach Pain And Diarrhea
hello i am currently undergoing treatment with a gastroentorologist for some stomach problems. I have had a colonoscopy and a endoscopy and both seemed fine. He now wants to do a wireless camera endoscopy and my bloods have revealed a vitimin b-12 deficiency which he wants me to have injections for. Only problem is im working in the middle east right now and wont be back in the uk for another 3 weeks. Im having some issues with stomach pains followed by uncontrolled dihorrea, it causing me to have to run out of meetings, and have accidents. Is there anything i can do in the meantime to help myself ?

Hello,
If the diarrhea is the main concern, so I would like to inform you that it could be due to infection.
Ideally stool need to be sent for culture sensitivity test or condition can be managed on tentative basis with tablet Metronidazole twice in day. Vitamin B12 deficiency also needs to be managed with Vitamin B12 supplements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hussain
