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

I have been having stomach ache for 1 to 2 years. My reports are normal. The pain is on the left side and is continuous.

Hi, my son was born on 29th January. He was doing fine until last week. Since then, he has had frequent motions, mostly liquid with tiny white solids. Doctors say he is unable to digest his mothers milk. His occult blood report is positive and reducing agent is also positive. The doctor has suggested feeding him only baby formula. We have consulted two doctors in the past week and are really worried. Please suggest?

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.
