Info Needed

Every March and every September I get these bouts of diahrea which last for up to 3 weeks at least 20 times a day I am on the toilet gushing out brown water at times. My doctor put me on antibiotics and by the time they are finished the diahrea is gone and I am back to normal...until September rolls in and I get it all over again. My doctor seems to think it dietary but I am having my doubts since I have switched my milk to lactaid and cut my caffine intake to only one cup in the morning.
The only time I have this is in the spring and fall ..no other time of the year. It is almost like something is dormant inside of me and acts up in these times. I mentioned to the doctor that it might be a possibilty to be H pylori as I do get the odd burning in my stomach and suffer alot of heartburn but he tells me that H Pylori does not cause seasonal diahrea.
Any input would be appreciated..thanks!

Have you been allergy tested? Sounds strange, but sometime seasonal allergies can give you diarrhea. Things outside. I only know this because my allergist asked me if that bothers me. Some, but not as much as you said.

I would insist that he test you for H pylori.  A friend had diarhea (diarrhea) with no ryhme or reason and it turned out to be H Pylori

Thanks for your responses..I am going to the doctor's tomorrow for a blood test to check for H Pylori..and I will also mention to him about getting tested for allergies. I have been sneezing like a maniac with watering eyes and nose in the spring and fall which I had never done before, so if not H Pylori ..hopefully it is allergies.
Thankyou so much for taking the time to give me some info..it is so much appreciated..thanks!

I'll second Lor's remark about being tested for allergies.  I, too have this problem, September and March!  Diarrhea and sneezing, watery eyes, etc.  Only those months.  It turns out to be an allergy to several pollens in our part of the country that are active during these months.  I hope you can get to the bottom of this and get some relief soon.
