What Causes Diarrhea And Flatulence?

I am 78, male and diabetic. Had surgery in April and since then have had a very loose bowel motion with lots of gas and water. Have consulted my GP and path test of stool clear. Have taken a spectrum of medication, as
prescribed. Over 8 months down the line, still no improvement but preferable to constipation. Any suggestions.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it seems to be chronic case of diarrhea, before it can be labeled for any disease I would like to inform you that passing of stool three to four time in day is normal one and it may not be any kind of disease but it may be due to diet only, formation of flatus could be diet only.
Condition can be managed with the single dose of Sacnidazole 1 g, it is advisable to get done the stool culture sensitivity test, you can even try the probiotic, but it is best to change the diet.
hope this information helps.
