Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea Along With Headache And Fatigue

Hi there. I´m female, mid-fifties, generally very healthy, have soft stool, bordering on diarrhea, slight headache, fatigue and blood shot eyes (I´m not taking drugs, nor do I drink alcohol or smoke but I have glaucoma and need to have eye drops every day). I had a stomach problem 10 days ago, my doctor told me I probably had viral flu, then I got better, but as soon as I started to eat normally and drink my coffee, it started again. I have a very challenging but wonderful job and usually swim 900 meters non stop four times a week. I´m tired of feeling this way. Any advice would be great. Thanks for reading!

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
It seems your intestinal bacterial flora is disturbed.
Please take prebiotics and probiotics, like lactobacilli and multivitamins.
Live probiotic bacteria are easy to find and consume if dairy products are to your taste and meet your dietary needs. Yogurt, for example, contains probiotics; but
Prebiotic fiber is found in many fruits and vegetables, such as the skin of apples, bananas, onions and garlic.
You can add Even over the counter product of theses.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
