Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about a 23 year old female and understood the concerns.
Diarrhea and low back pain can be due to intestinal infection and thus a proper investigations are needed to see for the diagnosis and have proper management.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Insist for tests of stool, urine and blood so that a proper diagnosis can be done.
If intestinal infection is present then you need a proper course of an antibiotic active against intestinal infection, metronidazole and probiotics.
Also take boiled for 20 minutes and cooled water.
Homemade fresh foods only.
The lower back pain can be a reflex pain due to colitis or can be due to local causes like muscle spasm and should be examined by a Doctor to get an accurate diagnosis so that a proper management can be done.
Apply local Rubefacient liniment.
Take rest also.
