Having Smelly Watery Stools Frequently, Bloating In Abdominal Region With Cramps. Drink Lot Of Tea. Related?

Hi doctor, I am having watery stools for almost a year now. Once in a while I get hard stools but most frequently i get watery stools which is smelly. I drink lot of tea is it the cause of loose stools? Sometimes there is bloating in the abdominal region with cramps and smelly gas formation. I have tried many natural remedies such drinking garlic boiled water, drinking green tea, even I have taken Homeopathic medicines since I am allergic to allopathic medicines. Nothing had worked out .Please suggest me some solution.

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to increased gas formation in the stomach secondary to excess acid production.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of antacids like Pantoprazole (to be taken half an hour before food) & anti spasmodics like Dicyclomine preparation (to be taken after food).

If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult a Gastroenterologist & get a proper physical examination.
Investigations like stool examination, Endoscopy of gastrointestinal tract & Ultrasound scan of abdomen will be helpful in detecting any pathological cause for the symptoms.

Wishing a good health.
Take care.
