Hello Madam,

What I feel you have a poor digestive system. To make problem and solution simple....I would like to recommend you the below, Whig should help.

1. Do not eat outside food, fried foods or uncooked food.

2. Try removing fibre from your diet, as it feels like your good bacterias in gut are overcome by bad ones....and fibre helps the one in control to grow faster.

3. Include fermented foods slowly in your diet. Eg. Curd, fermented milk etc which are active source of good bacteria.

4. Start taking regular suppliments for probiotic after your food.

5. Eat small diets after every two to three hours. Do not overeat and full your stomach.

6. Most important one, include breathing exercises and practice yoga regulary, half an hour in morning and half and hour in evening.

Practice this without fail for atleast 2-3
Months...than start adding solids in your diet...ur digestion will be better and you ll be cured permanently.

Hope it helps.

Dear Arunima, I still have the problem. I have consulted a gastroenterologist once again. I have been prescribed rifagut 200 for fourteen days (thrice daily) and am not sure whether this will improve my condition. I shall update once I finish using the medicine prescribed.

Girija, since it is an antibiotic, as I stated in my other post, it is doubtful that it will help with that, because it is only going to help with conditions that are caused by some type of infection.

What you really need to do is discover what's causing your problem. Have you changed your eating habits, recently?
