Constant diarrhea for 5 months please help ?


watery diarrhea ( real watery)
bloating
nausia
burn sensation ( happened only once, I think i had food poisoning that time)

I have been having these symptoms for 4 months now and its really bothering me, everything I eat comes out to diarrhea and I get a bad stomach ache, I cant afford medical insurance so I have no choice but to not go to a doctor. I also have to admit that i am a fast food junk food lover and i eat it most of the time, but I had a salad and bread and I still had diarrhea after that. I also tested for HIv and came out negative.

Diarrhea is basically overactivity of intestinal action.
Simply eating roughage will stimulate it to be even more active, so it is no wonder that eating a salad didn't help!
When I have this problem, the only thing I eat for a few days, is: banana,
white rice,
Spirulina,
probiotics WITH bifidus,
& plenty of pure water.

Among other things, diarrhea can be your body's reaction to eating a particular food, food additive, or residual chemicals on your food, that you are sensitive to--or, even to taking too much MSM. (MSM --in amounts much larger than your body needs-- blocks the body's signal to relax the colon, thus, Diarrhea. It has been used successfully in nursing homes, for elderly patients who have very stubborn cases of constipation.)

test for HIV again in another 6 months

Could be IBS, could be chrones disease, could be lots of different things, for this amount of time, then you need to be seen, because this can lead to bleeding which can then in turn lead to all sorts of other problems.

you have an infection, probably bacterial, you need to go to the doctor

Entox is the best medicine for this at least I use the same. Or you can try a home tip. Take seven seeds of red chillies. Swallow those with plain water twice a day. Avoid taking solid foods. Prefer the liquefied foods until u r OK.

first of all no need to panic. diarrhoea can be due to many reasons. but most common is a viral infection plus also the diet we eat.may be there is something in your diet thats provoking it.try and see what do u constantly repeat eating. secondly get an ORS solution from any nearby pharmacy and drink 10mls/kg (thats 10 times your body weight) per every motion you get.if you cant do so, just take a glass of water,add a teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt and drink after every vomitus or diarrhoea, you should be fine sooner. if symptoms persists or fever develops see your doctor.get well soon.

There are lots of things that can cause diarrhea. Some of them are really severe (like std's and cancer), but most of the time it is something relatively mild. Monitor your stress levels and cut back on the greasy food (as diet is probably your source of concern). One meal of healthy won't change your stomach, try it for a week and see if you are feeling better -- lots of greens, not too much grease or fat, whole grains. Also, yogurt might help some as it helps your digestive tract. I would save up for the next couple of months and if you are still having problems go to the doctor even though it is really expensive; your health is worth it. Most importantly, make sure you are drinking enough water and are getting enough electrolytes (try a sports drink of some sort, like gaterade) do you don't get dehydrated.

GO TO A DOCTOR. Many things can cause these symptoms, some serious and some not. If you've had these symptoms for months on end, though, then it clearly isn't something your body can heal on its own.

Many areas have walk-in clinics that provide care on a sliding scale. Call a nearby hospital and ask if they have such a service, or ask at the place you went for the HIV test. They will not be able to give you any medical advice over the phone, but they can direct you to a clinic in your area.

You may have to wait in a waiting room for a long time, and pay at least a small fee out of pocket, but prolonged diarrhea can be very serious. It can even be fatal. Diseases that cause diarrhea are a leading cause of infant mortality in developing countries, due to the dehydration and malnutrition it causes. Do not delay getting some form of help for any longer. Your life is more valuable than that.

it sounds like you may have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
this can come in 2 forms, either you cant stop going after you eat, the way u are, and the other that people suffer is constipation.
u do need to visit a Dr that's obviously to confirm and if it is you will be put on tablets that you take before you eat to stop you going to the toilet.
hope things get better.

I would highly recommend going to the doctor. That certainly is not good for your body, and you don't want to cause permanent harm.

Other ideas:
- Take 2 fiber pills each day (I know they say they're a laxative, but I had IBS with diarrhea and it worked for me)
