Brief Answer:

A side effect of SSRI.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Medicine ezeepam is an SSRI and most common side effect of any SSRI is either loose stools or constipation or unformed stools.
So your problem is because of SSRI you are on.

Solution:

Take 10gram of isapghul husk with lukewarm water two times a day this would add bulk to the stool.

If the problem still persists over the counter medication like loperamide 2mg can be taken as and when required.

Slowly and slowly your body would adapt to SSRI and this side effect will go away.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:

Follow up answer.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Our gut consists of colonies of good bacteria yeast and fungi which help in proper digestion of food.

However, due to poor food habits or external medications, these colonies are disturbed and bad bacterias start forming there colonies.

These bad bacteria act on food and ferment it causing the production of a large number of toxic gases like carbon dioxide hydrogen sulfide etc.

They apply pressure on the intestine and compresses the nerves passing through them causing pain and heaviness.

Add a probiotic VSL#3 twice daily for 2 weeks. Take a PPI like Nexium twice daily for a few days with Pankreoflat(digestive enzyme thrice daily) and tell me how you feel in a week.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
