Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea
I had lunch with a friend today and she hardly ate anything because she said she has diarrhea every night no matter what she eats.Her Dr checked her stools and everything came up Ok. He put her on an antibiotic anyway and said he has no idea what s wrong as he has never seen a case like this. I told her it s time for a new Dr and our other lunchmate told her she has pancreatic cancer. Any ideas?? Thanks for your time,Barbara

Hi,
I would suggest that your friend should take probiotic supplements for a few weeks. A stool Culture/Sensitivity test may be helpful to plan further medical management. If the symptoms persist, get a clinical evaluation done by a Gastroenterologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
