Hi, in my stool report it is mentioned as alkaline reaction. I want to know if that is normal or not? I have also attached my report for your reference. Regards, Ramya

Yes, alkaline reaction in stool can be normal, especially with vegetarian diets. It may also occur due to infection or poor digestion. Not alarming alone unless symptoms are present.
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Take a STOOL EXAMINATION, PH & REDUCING SUBSTANCES Test or Take a KFT with Electrolytes (Kidney Funtion) Test

View allI 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.
