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.

If stool test is normal, this may be post infectious IBS or gut flora imbalance. You can restart Vibact and Rifagut with doctor approval. Give curd, soft rice, banana, ORS, and avoid outside and spicy food. If no relief in 3to5 days, repeat Stool Routine, CRP, and check Calprotectin.
Dr. Yusuf Suggests...
Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a Fecal Calprotectin Test Test

Post a Goa trip from 22nd to 27th June, I suffered from gas and acidity. Initially, my stool was formed but gassy and disintegrated in water. Within a week, the gassiness of stool increased along with belching and heartburn. I took a course of Metrogyl for 5 days as prescribed, but it did not help much. By now, the stool had become watery. On 17th July, I again visited the doctor who prescribed medicines for gas, acidity, and stomach ulcers. After this one week course, I started feeling acidity and gas along with belching, though less than in early July. As of today, 5th August, my stool is still pasty, narrow, and sometimes contains mucus. I am unable to clear my stomach completely and have to apply a lot of force to pass just a little pasty stool. There is always a feeling that stool is staying near my rectum. Gas and acidity are under control with banana, buttermilk, and easy to digest foods. Stool routine test is normal. What could this be?
