Doctors will prescribe drugs and are costly to deal with. There are several things you can do, but you need to get to the root cause of the problem. Taking drugs will only give you "MAKE BELIEVE HEALTH" and as you have found, are ineffective many times, especially if the diarrhea is chronic.
If the root cause of the diarrhea is in the small intestines, it is characterized by large quantities of water and/or fatty stools (fatty stools float); if the diarrhea is due to disease in or of the colon, the stools are frequent and often accompanied by blood, mucus, or pus; if the disease is rectal in origin, there are often frequent movements of a small amount of stools.
Parasitic infections are very common in America and is primarily due to LOW STOMACH acid production. The stomach is responsible for killing germs, but if there is not enough hydrochloric acid in the stomach after a meal, the pH of the stomach does not get low enough to kill the germs and they have free reign to enter the body. Killing the intestinal flora is another typical way parasites, bad bacteria, etc. can enter the body and feed on rotted food due to low stomach acid production.
The main dangers of chronic diarrhea includes dehydration and mineral or electrolyte imbalance, malabsorption, weight loss, or the presence of something more serious.
Taking antibiotics will cause this problem because antibiotics kill the good bacteria in the intestines that are 3/4 of your immune system in the body. A healthy person will have about 3 pounds of these bacteria in their gut, but taking one antibiotic pill will destroy them. It’s not easy to replenish these bacteria and taking a probiotic pill will not do it on it’s own. Eating lots of fermented foods like homemade kefir, sauerkraut, fermented vegetables, etc. will help greatly.
A Certified Nutritional Therapist can help you greatly with this problem, especially one who knows QRA testing. You need to get to the root cause of the problem, not just wildly guessing the cause.
good luck to you
