Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of eating some outside food a few weeks ago and the stomach got disturbed since then like tummy rumbling after eating, visiting toilet more often, acidity and gases too. Altacid did not help to resolve the problem.
This looks to be due to sub-clinical intestinal infection which the body could not control.
I would advise you the following:
Send the stool and blood for tests.
A course of an antibiotic and metronidazole should solve the problem.
Add on probiotics, activated charcoal and PPI like Omeprazole.
Fresh home-food only.
Boiled and cooled water.
All these measures can be effective for a cure.
I find this answer helpful
