I had loose smelly stool and some pain. I started with Zenflox OZ. I also have celiac. My report says budding yeast in stool positive. What should I do?

Budding yeast in stool may indicate fungal overgrowth. Continue Zenflox OZ as prescribed. If symptoms persist, antifungal treatment or probiotics may be needed.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a STOOL EXAMINATION, PH & REDUCING SUBSTANCES Test or Take a CELIAC PROFILE (TTG IGA ABS, GLIADIN IGG & IGA ABS) Test

My sister has been experiencing loose motions along with white fluid discharge, so she underwent a stool test. The doctor mentioned that it is an infection. I want to know what could be the possible reason for this, and I have attached her test report for reference.

I have been experiencing abdominal pain and diarrhea for the past 2 days. My stool test shows infection with Giardia lamblia. My doctor prescribed Ornidazole 500 mg, 2 tablets per day for 5 days. I would like to know whether Metronidazole is more effective than Ornidazole, or if Ornidazole alone is sufficient for treating this infection.

My father experienced severe stomach pain and he also suffers from constipation. Now his pain is almost gone. His blood reports of liver and kidney are normal but the stool occult blood report is positive. What does that mean?
