Time to see your Dr.: Stop putting off seeing a physician. You need a stool culture for enteric bacterial pathogens and a microscopic exam for ova and parasites as you may have an infection of the gut that needs treatment. Inflammatory bowel disease is another possibility and you may need a flex sig or colonoscopy if the stool cultures and parasite tests are negative. Please see your physician.
