I've had lots of diarreah a lot for over 2 year since my trip to Ghana. I was tested for parasites but it came back negative. Is there any way a test could have missed it? I also heard that it could be gone and just left my bowels in rough shape. could that be true?

I've gone to several Doctors. I've kept track of what i'm eating. Still can't figure it out. The Doctors haven't been very helpful.

It is possible if they didn't test for the right things. I would ask for more complete tests. You may also want to see a gastroenterologist to have things checked out. You could have IBS or something else that needs treated by a medical doctor. It could also be something as simple as a food allergy. Try to pay attention to what you have eaten when you have a flare up and see if it might be linked to certain foods.

You should see an infectious disease specialist in a major medical center to rule out any type of infection you may have contacted while in that country

Dear kstortz:
Remember you get only what you pay for so be careful with what information you receive with regard to your question (its free). I would recommend you see another health provider until you are satisfied. You may want to search a nutritionist for advise.
Best wishes,

Try taking Pro-Biotics you can get them at health food houses and most pharmacies over the counter.
