Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea And Stomach Bloating
Thank you. I ve had a bit of an upset stomach with minor diarrhea today. My stomach as been bloated and I have pain in my lower back and occasional cramping. I ve felt as if I have to have a BM more often today, that I ve actually had one. My last BM was mucousy and had jelly like blood. Can you tell me what may be the cause of this? I am 66 years old and do have gastric problems every now & then. I had hip replacement surg 7 weeks ago. Thank you, Sonia Anazagasty YYYY@YYYY
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe diarrhea and stomach bloating . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like irritable bowel syndrome , intolerance to dairy products or other food items , eating too fast , overgrowth of bacteria in the small bowel , giardiasis or some medications. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid food like dairy products , drink warm water and do light exercises and eat light and non spicy food. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe H2 blockers , proton pump inhibitor along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory. Drink warm milk with half spoon of turmeric powder .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
