Trial population
The study population consists of adult patients aged 18-70 years diagnosed with chronic diarrhea lasting more than four weeks. Both male and female participants are included.

They will undergo comprehensive assessments, including demographic profiling, medical history review, and diagnostic testing for lactose intolerance using PCR. The diversity in age and gender ensures that potential correlations with these variables can be analyzed.
