This sounds like a bacterial issue. Why in the world would they not do a culture of your bowels?
Also, it makes me curious if any of you live in a similar geographic area. I've heard a story recently about a rare blood disorder (non-GI related) that has appeared in 1,300 children in a Texas community. That's no coincidence and I don't know what is being done to track this. But my point being how widespread are these issues that you posters are having?
Any medical facility that would not do a bowel culture for chronic diarrhea has no business charging you for a visit in my view!View Thread
