I have never had normal stools, they are always loose. Currently, I am experiencing mild abdominal pain and slight bloating. My stool test came back normal, but the local doctor could not help. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

Chronic loose stools with normal tests could be IBS. Track diet triggers, reduce dairy and spice. Consider gut flora imbalance.

I have some bowel problems. My stool test report shows fecal calprotectin greater than 800. Is this serious, and what does it indicate?

My mother needs to use the toilet 2 to 3 times a day, and her stools are watery. She was previously taking Vibact and Rifagut 400 under a doctor prescription, which helped, but the problem has recurred. Should she continue the same medication, or are there other medicines she can take? She also had a stool test, which was normal.

Sometimes I suffer from morning diarrhea, which makes me want to use the toilet 3 to 4 times. This is eventually followed by weakness and tiredness. What is the cause of this and how can I fix it? I do not have anemia or thyroid problems.
