Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I contracted the coronavirus. Then I got gastroenteritis. The doctor recommended fasting, no water, and IV fluids for several days. Later, the doctor said everything was fine and I was taken home. Yesterday, everything was fine. Today, my stool is green and has a foul smell. I also found cherry pits in the stool. What could be the situation? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
If this situation occurs again, it is recommended to use probiotic drugs, which would be more suitable. In your case, it is likely that there are issues with gastrointestinal digestion and absorption. It is advised that you eat less spicy, irritating, and rough foods in your daily diet and try to stick to lighter meals with softer food. It is recommended that you first pay attention to your lifestyle, maintain a regular and balanced diet, avoid alcohol as much as possible, eat easily digestible foods, and consume more vegetables and fruits while reducing meat and egg intake.
