What Causes Severe Abdominal Bloating Along With Diarrhea?
I am having chronic gas & bloating, along with persistent diarrhea. In order to get relief from these symptoms I am taking simethicone 125 mg, as well loperamide hydrochloride 2 mg, regularly. I m becoming concerned that taking these otc medicines regularly could be causing a new and/or different problem, or making the one I already have worse. Not sure what is my best course of action. Any and all suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your valuable time.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the frequency of passing stool is just 3 to 4 time in day and not more then it is nothing to worry, for other abdomen symptoms Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day can be tried, no need to worry about diarrhea it may be self limiting, take care for hydration, at the most you can rule out the infection and for that you have to get done the stool examination, hope this information helps.
