What Causes Stomach Pain And Loose Stools?

For almost two weeks now, I have had stomach pains (gas, bloating, cramps), and have had close to liquid poop (still solid enough to contain a little shape). Recently it has became solid and I have noticed that it looks like a yellowish clear casing around it. About twenty minutes ago, I went to the bathroom and when I wiped, I discovered a pile of sticky-noodle like-yellowish stringy stuff on my toilet paper... Not sure what this means?

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to infection or inflammation in the Gastrointestinal tract.
Presence of stomach pain and mucous with stool (sticky-yellowish stuff) is suggestive of infectious etiology.

Presenting with such symptoms, I usually treat my patients with:
1. Tablet Pantoprazole + Domperidone twice daily (to be taken half an hour before food)
2. Anti spasmodics like Dicyclomine preparation twice daily (to be taken after food).
3. Lactobacillus preparations or probiotics.
4. Antibiotics like Ofloxacin+ Ornidazole preparations, OR based on culture & sensitivity reports to control the causative organism.
5. Oral Rehydration Solution (O.R.S) for maintaining the hydration status & electrolyte balance of the body.
6. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods.
7. Avoid fast foods & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc.

So, kindly consult your Doctor/ Gastroenterologist and start treatment as advised.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
