Hello!
Persistent loose stools for 2–3 months along with a white coating on the tongue may indicate:
1. Chronic gastrointestinal infection (e.g., Giardiasis, Amoebiasis)
2. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
3. Gut dysbiosis due to prolonged antibiotic use or poor diet
4. Fungal infection (Oral thrush) – often seen with immune suppression, poor hygiene, or after antibiotics
5. Malabsorption syndromes (like lactose or gluten intolerance)
Suggested Next Steps:
Stool examination (Routine and Microscopy)
Stool for ova, cysts, parasites
Blood tests – CBC, ESR, Blood sugar
Oral examination for thrush
Consider upper GI endoscopy or colonoscopy if symptoms persist
Next Steps
Please consult a physician for a detailed evaluation and tailored treatment.
Health Tips
General Advice:

For gastroenteritis relief, stick to a diet of easily digestible foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet), plain crackers, plain toast, plain rice, boiled potatoes, clear broths, electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks, and gradually introduce bland foods like oatmeal, plain noodles, and plain crackers, while avoiding spicy, fatty, high-fiber, or high-sugar foods, dairy products, caffeine, and alcohol, and staying hydrated with plenty of fluids to help your gut recover and replenish lost electrolytes.
