I recommend a PCR test in chronic diarrhoea cases to rule out cryptosporidia, (actually common in Brisbane). Often we see these cases as a referral from other practices. Do not ignore clostridial perfringens infections as well! We use a combination of food therapy building the prebiotic load feeding good bugs, and Entrapro probiotics as well as chinese herbs to balance the gut. Various herbs can help with spasms and pain, and magnesium such as Blackmores PPMP can reduce the anxiety and spasms. If you are a 2 legged human, our Naturopath Dr Elaine recommends 2 tsp of Apple Cider vinegar in warm water drunk first thing in the morning followed by a breakfast with some protein, and antioxidant drink (such as Kale, spinach, banana and pineapple smoothie) and NO Gluten for 6 weeks. Stomach care tabs or equivalent peppermint, cardamon, ginger, and chamomile teas, and demulcent slippery elm can be helpful for inflammation. Remember you want GOOD bugs in your tummy! Feed those with helpful probiotic foods.
