Rice & Wheat are OK. Oat consumption leads to loose motion.
During loose motion I consume curd rice, so it appears my stomach agrees with
dairy products.
Hope the above will help to suggest appropriate remedy for a healthy stomach.

Brief Answer:
We should rule out Celiac disease first.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
I believe in treating after diagnosis because that treatment is actually worth.
I would advise you to get following investigations done:
1. IgA anti TTG antibody to rule out celiac disease.
2. Stool for routine and microscopic examination.
3. Hemoglobin with ESR and CRP.
I am just worried for Celiac disease that you might have.
Till the reports are available you may start on:
1. Tab Pantoprazole 40mg once a day.
2. A probiotic like Lactovit or Bifilac once a day.
3. Take soft and Bland diet.
4. Avoid spicy food
Review with me with the reports.
If you have a further query please ask me as you may close the discussion and rate it.
