Last week po madalas akong madumi daig ko pa nag LBM (Loose Bowel Movement) at naulit uli kahapon at sumasakit ang tiyan ko. At nababawasan ang pagkain ko kasi minsan wala along gana o di kaya naman wala akong panlasa. Possible po ba na amoebasis to? Salamat po


Translation: Last week, I have been having LBM everyday very often. It happened again yesterday and my stomach hurts. I don't eat much anymore because I've lost my appetite or I can't taste food anymore (foods taste bland or no flavor). Is it possible that I have amoebiasis?

Thanks for your question, I'm glad to help.

Amebiasis typically presents with abdominal pain, watery or bloody diarrhea, fever, loss of apetite ,and weight loss. Your symptoms fit the mold, however, it can only be confirmed by laboratory investigations.

Please see your doctor urgently.
