Digestive problems

Kr0m · Jan 17, 2015

So for the last 4 months or so i have had loose stools and diarrhea. My food isnt being digested either as i can see alot of the small particles and specs in the stool and when im cleaning up. Also the color of the stool would come out pretty close to whatever i ate. My stool test was negative for everything and blood work showed HIGH CALCIUM and HIGH PH LVLS and LOW CHLORIDE SERUM. Now i have found there is connection with chloride and digestive enzymes and the high calcium in the blood is probably due to not absorbing the nutrients in my food properly. The one thing that did help my symptoms was ANTIBIOTICS. But after using them i slowly fell back into the problems i have been having. I switched my diet to mostly paleo type diet and i have been using lots of probiotics...any ideas or help

Have you had an h. Pylori test? You said antibiotics helped so that's why I ask. Digestive enzymes could also be helpful

I think they did a basic stool test but looking at the results online it doesnt show that H pylori was tested

H. Pylori is usually tested by blood test. It is treated with a combo of antibiotics,proton pump inhibitor, and pepto bismol. Might wanna look into it

Apple cider vinegar has done wonders for me! Better digestion, more energy and stool looks a lot better! I would research and talk to your physican first!
