Suggest Treatment For Loose Motion And Gas

I was suffering from typhoid about 2 and half weeks ago...It took me a week to get cure of the infection but I am still suffering from loose motions that started during that time. Its proper if I am taking the loose motions tablets but it again gets the same as soon as I stop taking it. Also my body has started developing gas. And actually it is not even loose motions. The motions are watery kind of so if there is a pressure I have to go. And it happens for 3-4 times a day. Because if this I am unable to take my proper diet as well.

Hi.
Thanks for the query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Typhoid also called enteric fever is a dreaded disease in a sense that it can cause many a complication, one of them is continuation of loose watery stool.
This happens due to disturbed bacterial flora due to typhoid and the antibiotics, hence I would advise your the following:
Get the blood culture and sensitivity to see if the typhoid is cured or not and if not cured the alternative better antibiotic.,
Full dose of pro and pre-biotics should be taken.
Take banana,yogurt, curds.
Activated carbon tablets.
Another course of an antibiotic may help.
Try to identify the foods and beverages that cause the problem and stop these altogether,.
Avoiding the stress and anxiety, taking full bed rest is very important as typhoid weakens the body immunity too much.
I find this answer helpful
