Hi, i have diarrhea for about two weeks now with no vomiting and fever. what could be the reason? taking probiotics on dr's prescription but no help.

Many reasons: Any blood in the stool? It sounds limited to loose stools for 2 weeks. It could be infectious such as a parasite like giardia or cryptosporidium. It could be lactose intolerance. It could be celiac disease, although that might have abd pain and weight loss. Seek gastroenterology consult.
