Tablet tat i had for belching for one month
1.     PANTOPRAZOLE 40 MG
2.     SUCRALFATE DISPERSIBLE/CHEWABLE 1000 MG
After a week because of raining or i dont know some other reason i am facing cold and runny nose problem form august 1st
After that for just 2 days dysentry like that something semi solid toilet tat too 2 or 3 thirce in a day
I went to aids doctor on august 5th regarding this he told this and all due to rain problem
He gave medicine for cold and dysentry
Medicine details

The probelm of cold is not yet rectified but dysentry stopped and belching also stopped for few days
After days cold became severe and belching again started and sometimes now gas coming from anus
Iam going to take hIV test soon after this week becoz doc told that 21st july is too near So we will take hiv test after few days
Now my probelm is gas is coming from my anus and again belching

Brief Answer:
it is loss of GUT compliance

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query
I can understand your concern but I think you are being a bit of paranoid.
Belching and farting (passing gas via anus) is not specifically associated with HIV or STD. They usually represent loss of GUT compliance ( secondary to inflammation) or low grade malabsorption. These are usually seen after intestinal infections or antibiotics.
I would suggest you to take a 7 - 10 day course of probiotics and zinc supplement and avoid milk. You can have plenty of fresh curd as it is a good source of probiotics.
It is my advice to be prudent and avoid such activities in the future.

Dr XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Assured

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the update
If the weight has remained stable, I wouldn't worry much. The malabsorption I had written about is a transient issue following infection or antibiotics. It will recover spontaneously.
No other natural food has prebiotics like curd. Curd can be taken even if you have cold. However if you are apprehensive you can take any of the commercially available prebiotics

Brief Answer:
Guided

Detailed Answer:
Hi again
This is called gastrocolic reflex and can occur either because of postinfectious mucosal irritation or anxiety. Either way a probiotic tablet and curd will help.
