I've had diarrhea since June 1st. It got so bad that I went to the doctor who prescribed antibiotics for bacterial diarrhea and a urine infection. I'm still getting diarrhea 4-5 times a day, usually within 10 minutes of eating anything, accompanied by gurgling noises in my stomach. I've tried a starvation diet and cutting off various foods, but no matter what I eat, I get diarrhea straight away. I'm not suffering from cramps, but I have a very bloated stomach and have lost over a stone in weight in 5 weeks. What could be causing this persistent diarrhea, and what further steps should I take?

I was bitten by a tick 3-4 days ago in my backyard near College Park, Maryland. The bite area has a round red rash resembling a bull's eye, and the tick appears to be a black-legged deer tick. I have not yet seen a doctor but am worried about Lyme disease. What should I do next, how is Lyme disease diagnosed, and what is the treatment for it?

I'm 39 years old and have been diagnosed with female pattern baldness. Will this stop soon and run its course, or will all my hair fall out? If I get my tubes tied, can I take Propecia? Also, will vitamins help, and which ones are the best to take to prevent hair loss?
