i have been suffering from diarrhea and stomch problems for more than 2 years now. its stared after i took a very strong dose of anibiotics. im actually not sure if it stated from that or something else i eat around that time.

they did all my tests at the hospital, colonoscopy, ultra souns etc but found nothing. thjat was 2 years ago and im still suffering from the problem. for the first 5 months, it was constant loose stools about 8-10 times a day. since then, it has not been that intense. i go to the toilet 3-5 times a day with mostly very or mildly loose stools. occasionally, the stool would be very hard but not very often. i tried being wheat free for a month but it did make that much of a difference.

every so often, i would get a painful lump around my anus. but for the past 2 months, my anus seem to have lumps constant but not painful with an occasional painful one appearing every now and then. i dont have any cramps but hear my stomach making noise sometimes.

i dont take pharmaceutical medinice anymore. i tried herbal products which made difference but it never goes back to being normal again. i want to know if i would have to live with this for the rest of my life? it is very inconvenient and stops me from doing alot of things in life.

is there anything natural i can try? not eat certain types of food? any advice would be great. seeing my doctor is no good as he does even let me finish before he writes down a prescription and does seem to know the cause for any problem i have ever had over the years(not that i have had many anyway, luckily)

thanks alot :-)
