I have been experiencing sticky and loose stools for some time, and over the past week, my food is not digesting properly. My stomach feels full and bloated, and I also suffer from severe acidity. Recent tests show ESR of 20 and C reactive protein of 4.5, and I have attached two other test reports. Could you please advise what might be causing these symptoms and the next steps for diagnosis or treatment?

Sticky, loose stools with bloating and acidity may indicate gastritis, infection, or IBS. ESR (20) and CRP (4.5) are mildly raised and may suggest inflammation but are non specific. A stool routine and microscopy test can help detect infection or malabsorption. A stool occult blood test may be advised if symptoms persist. Eat light, low fat meals and stay hydrated while awaiting reports.

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?

Dear Sir I am getting light colored stool with black holes and particles. It looks like leafy blood or undigested food. I tested RUT positive one month ago and took treatment for 14 days. I have attached my report. How can I clear this?
