TGIR Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Go to the nearest Pharmacy and get some Immodium. If that doesn't work then get yourself to a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atyclb Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 visit the local rural hospital. they likely have experience dealing in locally prevalent cause of diarrhea. not immediately necessary to travel and visit an overpriced high end hospital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timebandit Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 You have the dreaded "mahaka". Scourge of Thailand expats. Go to a good pharmacist and they will give a good gut bacteria and then after three days you will start a new good bacteria in you. Dehydration will send you to the hospital so drink at least 2 liters per day. You have somehow ingested tap water to get this. I even keep my toothbrush in peroxide. You may have damaged your kidneys after 6 months. Beer does not help as alcohol dehydrates you also. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It's rare in Thailand anymore but - Giardia Don't take immodium, that's just stupid. It doesn't cure anything. Imagine you are very dehydrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weelegs Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 On 1/9/2019 at 12:33 PM, Lacessit said: I'd suggest getting tested for giardia and or cryptosporidia infestation. They should show up in a fecal test. The symptoms you describe are fairly typical. Amoebic dysentery is another candidate. This is a medically correct post. Thanks to Lacessit. Other possibilities are coccidoidomycosis and a veritable zoo of other infectious agents associated with ... HIV INFECTION. (See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4499110/ ) You can try everything mentioned by other posters, but what you need to do at some point is (a) get an HIV test; and (b) get yourself to a board certified infectious disease specialist or gastroenterologist.

Have a read of this article and I would suggest you do further research. I think that 4-5 large bottles, that's 6 to 7 litres approx. is too much.

GinBoy2 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 EndleAfter six months, no advice here is worth anything. You need to go o a Doc and some fecal lab work done. Chances are this is some stupid worm infestation, but it could be worse. But you'll never know by endless web searches! Go to the Doc, and a real one, not the neighborhood quack who'll send you away with a baggie of pills without even examining you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiroinusa1 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 colonoscopy. Now. Also medicine before by doctor. I had it. It is a start and getting better. 30K in Chiang Mai. Maybe cheaper other places. Doctor will a the least be able to diagnose. Finding nothing they will probably say it is irritable bowel syndrome and tell you to follow a good diet for this diagnosis .

Sheryl Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 23 hours ago, cyril sneer said: Thanks for the replies. I'll keep you all updated to see who gave the best and worst advice. One thing I didn't mention is a gas problem, so even if I have diarrehea once in the morning, this will be followed by another 4-5 trips to the toilet when just gas is coming out. This is why I think it's dietary problem I can fix myself. Previously I was drinking 5+ large bottled beers a day, along with 3+ coffees, 3+ spicy meals (including street food). FYI i'm middle aged, live too far from Bangkok and only meds I take is omeprazole (for acid reflux) Gas is very common with giardia. I do not think diet alone can account for this. You do nto need to come into Bangkok to get a stool test done. I think you should clarify what you mean by "diarrhea", is it just that your stools are loose but frequency normal or is it several/many episodes of diarrhea a day?

Sorry to argue with you but it does work. Myself, my wife, and numerous friends and acquaintances have used it. Often I find friends and others clearly have diarrhea and both my wife and I carry some with us at all times. I started using it more than thirty years ago when I had my first bout of diarrhea over thirty years ago at a distant work location....I had never had it before and didn't know what to do. I had it so bad it took me two days to make my 1 1/2 hour journey to get home. I had to rent a motel room and see a doctor who prescribed Imodium for me, which of course worked quite well. Whatever your experiences have been, they have been clearly opposite to mine and the people who I know have used it with great success. It would be interesting to know what happened to you that you don't believe it works.....please respond so we can share with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgerGung Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 This is potentially pretty serious... Psyllium Husk in cold milk, letting it turn into a form of pudding, to be eaten with fruit plus activated coal tablets work for me. Get better quickly!
