Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having an infection of the gastrointestinal tract and needs medical management.

You can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily along with Metronidazole 400 mg thrice daily.
A probiotic will have added benefits.

You should eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions.
Also take care of your hydration.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
