I have occasionally diarrhea (loose stool) with mucus for 2 month. s/e & s/c & cbc test was normal (repeated). my gp has no idea. whats next?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diarrhea: Abdominal pain? Checked for parasites? camphylobacter? alcohol ? B12 level? check for H pylori ( in stool) and food intolerances like gluten/ soy/ milk/ eggs. You check for intolerance by eliminating that food item from your diet for a week to 14 days and see if any difference. Would also check gallbladder, and see if there is a difference with creon a pancreatic enzyme supplement f/u /w/MD
