A member asked:
Chronic diarrhea + frequent bouts of gastroenteritis. full gi workup (upper, lower, ct) within the last year, unremarkable. gei more frequent lately! can i do anything? would pro-biotics give protection against at least bacterial gastroenteritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gastroenteritis: Gastroenteritis usually means that nausea, vomiting and diarrhea occur. I assume a gastroenterologist is involved in your workup. Probiotics may be worthwhile. A stool culture would look for pathogenic bacteria as well as parasites. Have certain food intolerances been ruled out?. A fodmap diet helps irritable bowel syndrome.
