Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I suffered from diarrhea, followed by three to four solid stools and stomach pain a month ago. Later, I again had a recurrence of all the symptoms. It has been one month now. Is it IBS? Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

Your condition can be due to secondary lactose intolerance that is common after acute episodes of diarrhea. Avoid consuming milk, juices, or liquid fluid, and continue taking curd and khichri. It will take some time to improve. Consult a doctor if the symptoms do not improve within one week.

I hope this will help you.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
