A member asked:
I have had diarrhoea for more than a week now. nothing seems to help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diarrhea: If diarrhea lasts more than a week a fresh stool specimen should be sent to the lab for cultures to check for pathogens including pathogenic bacteria, parasites and eggs. In the meantime avoid roughage,eat soft solid foods, and avoid milk products. Take Imodium according to instructions. Keep good fluid intake including sports drinks and ginger ale.
