Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have prolonged diarrhea. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like due to gastroenteritis, colitis or worm infestation and intestinal hyper-motility, irritable bowel syndrome , lactose intolerance, and medication reaction or side-effect poisoning. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take probiotics, curd, yogurt and banana as a home remedy. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order stool test , CT scam , ultrasound and endoscopy . Doctor may prescribe ornidazole , laxative , omeprazole along with anti allergic and anti inflammatory. For now eat light and no spicy and take light walk after every meal. Avoid fatty, hot, spicy and junk food or carbonated drinks. Have plenty of water and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
