Amoebiasis is a parasitic infection. Stool exam may reveal presence of ameba cyst. Its a completely curable illlness with a course of a set of antibiotics. If you are getting the symptoms even after the full course of medicines, you either have reacquired the illness due to contamination of food and water or you have some other illness than amebiasis. Its not difficult ti differentiate or find out those other illnesses. Colonoscopy with or without biopsy will help you. In my practice I have seen villous polyps causing similar problems. Please meet your doctor armed with this new information.
