Question

I've been dealing with diarrhea on and off for over a week and a half now, and in between, my stools have turned this chalky white color. It's got me a bit worried, especially because I'm nursing and don't want to pass anything to my baby, even though she seems alright. I had the stomach flu about three weeks ago and then traveled, and this issue started when I got back. Is it possible that it's linked to the stomach flu, or could it be some kind of viral infection that just flared up again? What's going on and should I be really concerned about this?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with this piles issue for the past couple of days. The pain is getting unbearable, and I've heard that Meftal Spas 250 mg might help with the pain relief. Is that a good option, or should I consider something else? Can you advise on any other treatments or pain relief methods that might work for piles?
