Suggest Treatment For Persistent Diarrhea, Heartburn And Acid Reflux

Hi there, I woke feeling achy all over and fatigue 3 days ago then started having diarrhea 2 days ago. I took several doses of pink bismuth yesterday which stopped the frequency then took a probiotic today. I ve only expelled spontaneous bouts of black liquid throughout the day and evening going on 4th day now and can t seem to form any kind of hard stool. I ve been eating small amounts of solid foods since yesterday but only seem to be bloating accompanied by a slight heartburn and acid reflux. Can you please advise?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

You seem to have developed infective diarrhea along with disturbed digestion causing bloating, hyperacidity, with possible bleeding in the stomach, which has produced black stools, bloating causing regurgitation of acid.

You need the consultation of a gastroenterologist to get investigated & treated with specific antibiotics & antacids.

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

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
