Sourness In Stomach, Cramping, Soft And Frequent Stools Resulting In Sleeping Difficulty, Loss Of Appetite, Lightheadedness. Reason?
What would cause someone to have a sour stomach (cramping, soft stools , frequent bowels) for over a week? It happens about every other week. I have difficulty sleeping and loss of appetite b/c of it. One result is weight loss . During this time, I can only eat foods like club crackers, baked potatoes, yellow gatorade, & sprite. I also get a little light headed. It is for a 33 year old female (not pregnant).

Hi,
This is a case of irritable bowel disease.
The weight loss is due to frequent bowel movements and loss of fluids and nutrients.
You need to take light meals in diet.
You try probiotic for few weeks.
You avoid the use of sugar-rich diet for few days.
You also, relax if you are stressed.
There is nothing to worry, dietary modifications will help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. SOHEEL HUSSAIN ZARGAR, Dentist
