Doctor please check my report I have attached below. Occult blood shows trace. What does trace mean. What could be the reason for it. Is it something serious or something to worry about? Please help doctor.

Trace means very small amount; could be from minor causes like hemorrhoids, but needs evaluation if persistent. Not always serious.

Is paste like yellow stool common with IBS? No matter how much fiber I add or how much water I drink, the majority of my stool is like this. I eat apple, banana, and oats daily in the morning for fiber. I do not eat junk food, totally stopped for a year. Is this IBS? Also, if I drink milk or eat spicy food, I have observed smelly gas after that. Please guide. LFT, CBC, urine, and thyroid are all normal.

I have been experiencing abdominal pain and diarrhea for the past 2 days. My stool test shows infection with Giardia lamblia. My doctor prescribed Ornidazole 500 mg, 2 tablets per day for 5 days. I would like to know whether Metronidazole is more effective than Ornidazole, or if Ornidazole alone is sufficient for treating this infection.
