Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Do you have fever/ spasmodic abdominal pain/ vomiting?
Do you have excessive flatulence/ gargling sound in abdomen?
Are you suffering from severe constipation previously.
With the available described symptoms, there could be possibility of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth/ small intestinal diarrhea.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up.
You should go for complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ultrasound imaging, and serum electrolytes, renal function test.
You should take complete antibiotic therapy, antispasmodics, probiotics, antipyretics, if needed.
Whenever a patient comes with above mentioned symptoms, then generally 1st diagnosis is gastroenteritis. If your condition won't improve with antibiotic then only non infectious cause should be suspected.
You should maintain your hydration status by taking potassium rich liquids.
Take soft diet along with yogurt and banana.
Avoid milk and all milk related products.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
