Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Diarrhea And Acidity

hi,I am a 20 year old engineering student. I am suffering from loose motions since the past 3 days and I feel very weak because I am not able to eat more than a minute quantities of solid food and I have been mostly dependent on liquid food, butter milk. I can t especially eat anything even little spicy and i suspect it is a acidity issue. Is it ok to take gelusil during conditions as such? I have my exams going on now and I want to get better soon.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of recurrent diarrhoea and acidity which seems to be due to infection by H. Pylori leading to gastroenteritis. It could be due to electrolyte imbalance in body.

Need not to worry at all. I would suggest you to ensure you are giving adequate hydration, oral intake and replenishing water to avoid salt losses.

Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should go for complete examination and start treatment after that.

You should avoid intake of outside food, such as hot, sharp and excessive spicy food and avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages.

Intravenous fluid administration is also recommended. Don't panic. You should give oral rehydration solution. Give combination of antibiotic along with antihistamine medication.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
