Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of upset stomach and loose stool since one week. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like infection of the gut , electrolyte imbalance in body, food poisoning , inflammation of the gut colitis, food intolerance and due to imbalance of electrolytes. Need not to worry. You should take oral rehydrating solution to maintain hydration status of body. Avoid intake of outside food. Take plenty of fluids to rehydrate body. Avoid taking outside food. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist once for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe loperamide , laxative , omeprazole and antacids . For now take fruits like banana and lot of fluid in diet. take soft and bland food rather than sharp and spicy food substances.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
