hello, sounds like something is preventing you from digesting properly. You may have a weak immune system to do an underlying condition - sometmes cancer, HIV, or it could be a parasite (like Giardia) that hasn't fully left your body. There are several other conditions that can cause chronic diarrhea, for example: disorders of the pancreas, intestinal disorderss, food intolerance, etc. Keep up your fluids and electrolytes, drink non acidic juices, gatorade and water. avoid coffee and caffiene. discuss getting other tests on other organs with your dr. because they may be the cause
yeah i'm also thinking you miiiight have still a c. difficile infection after all those antibiotics..and testing for c. difficile is sort of hit and miss...depends on what other antiboitics you took.
you could now have a new allergy to some food or food intolerance like mammo said. Giardia still could be still there..c. difficile is usually suspected after antibiotic use and diareerea...
Honestly I'd go on a suppper bland no diary diet..buy some nice probioitics and follow up with a GI doctor with maybe testing for celiac or maybe another run of flagyl (which is usually given for c. difficile infections) but sounds like you still have a bug or infection going and still going weather it's still giardia or c. difficile.. but another stool study probably wouldn't hurt either to find out if it's still there or gone.
