However, after if passes he feels fine and his appetite is good and normal and has had daily regular normal bowel movements during this time. There is no common food associated with each incident in fact one of the times he hadn t really had anything other then coffee and an apple to eat. Today is Thursday, he had an episode last Friday, Wednesday and 2x today.
Get his stool RE done and see for ova and cysts and pus cells. Meanwhile he should take a course of Metronidazole 400mg thrice daily for 10 days to get rid of underlying giardiasis if he might have.
