Chronic Diarrhoea Treatment in South Delhi
Diarrhoea lasting more than 4 weeks is chronic and always deserves a diagnosis. The list of causes is long — from IBS to celiac disease to microscopic colitis — and they are treated very differently. Dr Paliwal works through it systematically rather than prescribing another antibiotic.
Symptoms
- Loose or watery stool three or more times a day
- Urgency, night-time stool

- Weight loss, weakness, anaemia
- Cramping and bloating
See a doctor urgently if

- IBS with diarrhoea
- Celiac disease
- Ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, microscopic colitis
- Chronic infections — giardia, amoeba, tuberculosis
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
- Lactose intolerance
- Pancreatic insufficiency, bile acid diarrhoea
- Thyroid disease, medicines (metformin, antibiotics)
Tests that settle it
Chosen for your case — never a fixed panel.
Colonoscopy
Full examination of the large intestine with polyp removal in the same sitting
How it worksUpper GI Endoscopy
Camera examination of food-pipe, stomach and duodenum — with biopsy and treatment in the same session
How it worksBreath Tests (H. pylori, SIBO, Lactose)
Non-invasive tests for H. pylori, bacterial overgrowth and sugar intolerance
How it worksCapsule Endoscopy
Swallow a pill camera to photograph the whole small intestine — no sedation, no tube
How it works
How it is treated
- Structured work-up: stool studies, celiac serology, thyroid, inflammatory markers
- Colonoscopy with biopsies (microscopic colitis is invisible without biopsy)
- Endoscopy with duodenal biopsy for celiac disease
- Capsule endoscopy or enteroscopy for small-bowel Crohn's
- Cause-specific treatment: gluten-free diet, IBD therapy, antibiotics for SIBO, bile-acid binders, enzymes
Why Dr Paliwal for chronic diarrhoea
- Capsule endoscopy (800+) and balloon enteroscopy for the small bowel that colonoscopy cannot reach
- Careful, cost-conscious investigation — 'no unnecessary tests' is what patients say about him

Questions patients ask about chronic diarrhoea
How long is too long for loose motions?
More than 2 weeks needs a doctor; more than 4 weeks needs a gastroenterologist.
Can diarrhoea be IBS?
Yes, IBS-D is common, but it is a diagnosis made after excluding celiac disease, IBD and infection — not before.
