For 2 months I have been suffering from diarrhea (not so abundant, but more "pasty") with a lot of mucus. My stomach starts to spin after each meal, I have gas and a constant feeling that I am thirsty. I had already done: endoscopy (I am still waiting for a colonoscopy), ultrasound, faecal examination for parasites, blood test - it only turned out that I have iron deficiency, and besides, everything is fine. Doctors are constantly prescribing drugs that do not help and they do not know what is wrong with me: ((Do you have any ideas what might be wrong with me or what tests I should do?
There can be many causes of diarrhea - ranging from simple reasons such as nervousness, through an improper diet, to medical conditions. Please consider whether the first two reasons are not in your case and try to eliminate them. However, when it comes to diseases, it is worth supplementing the diagnostics with tests determining the condition of the pancreas - please contact your attending physician.
