Question
Hello doctor,
After a while I often have diarrhea (occasionally constipated). I went to the doctor & had a colonoscopy test, and the results showed that I had colitis - irritable bowel disease, after 1 period of taking the medicine prescribed by the hospital, my diarrhea decreased completely, but I had an apple condition. Constipation, difficulty in defecation, pain in the anus when passing, large, lumpy stools, broken and loose tails of feces, accompanied by raw stool and fresh bleeding. I go out once a day but every day I have this condition when I go outside.
I have a bloated, hard stomach, had dinner at 19 o'clock but woke up the next morning feeling that my stomach was still full and hard. I have researched online to adjust my diet such as: Eating a lot of foods containing fiber, boiled vegetables, fruits, taking probiotics but still not getting better. I am very confused, now if I go back to the doctor and take the medicine prescribed by the hospital, I am afraid that the constipation will go away but will return to diarrhea.
So the doctor told me how to treat constipation mixed with diarrhea? Thank you doctor.
