I'm 20 years old-height 5'7.5" and weight
just 110 pounds.
I'm having some problem with my digestive
system. Whenever I take
fatty and more spicy food, i'll get
frequent stoolpassing and diarrhea.
At first, I used to take the
anti-diarrheal tablet
metronoidazole-400mg
and finish the medicine course( 3 times a
day for 3 days) but after the
diarrhea sort-of-thing became habitual, I
casually take the medicine anytime
without completing the course. Does this
have some adverse effect on my health?
And, should I visit a gastrologist or my
problem is just common one?

I would go to a gastroenterologist.
Sometimes gallbladder problems or pancreas
problems can reduce the ability to
properly digest fatty foods. But no
matter what the problem is, if you are
constantly having diahrea then I would
definitely go to the doctor. As for the
medicine.. It shouldn't hurt you to take
it when you need it. I think i've been
on the same meds before too.
