Hi. Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of bout of diarrhea, treatment by family doctor and now occasional diarrhea with choco bar andeat.
It takes time for complete recovery from a given intestinal infection say about 3 weeks to 3 months.
Another aspect is the intolerance thus developed.
Hence, I would advise the following:
Avoid such heavy foods that can cause problems.
Have soft bland diet.
Continue probiotics and multivitamins.
Get stool test done.
And get additional treatment if your Doctor has advised on clinical evaluation, examination and investigations.
