Brief Answer:
Please specify your age and gender and your occupation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Ask a Doctor Service.

If you mean loose stools by slight upset stomach and pain or abdominal discomfort or pain by acidity then drinking plenty of water, avoiding spicy and hot foods, avoiding junk foods and alcohol and drinking milk will help.

You can also take Capsule. Omez 20 mg twice a day for 5 days.

The most important aspect is, hydration, so please drink plenty of water with ORS mixed.


If you develop any fever, or if the vomiting is severe and you develop abdominal distention and if the loose stools continue and get worse, you will need to consult your local doctor.

That said, if you are middle aged and have hypertension or diabetes, this stomach upset and acidity might be actually due to heart problems.

So, you need to get yourself examined by your doctor to avoid missing a cardiac event.

I hope that answers your query.

Wishing you speedy recovery.

Best wishes
