Suggest Remedies For Recurring Abdominal Pain And Diarrhea
Question: Hi.
I'm XXXXXXX 21yrs male.
I have been having abdominal pain and loose stool every morning for soo long. The abdominal pain relieved by the diarrhea. It occurs in the morning between 8-12am or any time a wake up. I've seen many doctors, took many drugs (dicyclomine, lactic acid baccilus, ranitidine,omeprazole, antibiotics) from different doctors but no change. Recently i started taking imodium 2mg every morning and the pain and diarrhea stopped. But any time i miss taking imodium, it comes back.
Sometimes i have phlegm, so i take omeprazole for it.
Please suggest the diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.

Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thank you for your query
I understand your concern
Possibly you have irritable bowel causing pain and diarrhea.
You need to get some basic tests like complete blood count thyroid function tests stool examination and if deemed necessary a colonoscopy
If these tests are normal can try taking isapgula husk 2tsp at night along with a medication called romesteron after consulting your physician, if still not better then can take imodium that you are taking.
Try stopping omeprazole and see if it benefits your diarrhea.
In addition lifestyle modification will help you like
Eating on time
Regular walk
Avoiding stress
Avoiding excess coffee junk food etc.
All this will help you in long run.
Hope this answers your query
Happy to help
Wish you a speedy recovery
