Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

The treatment for loose motions is adequate hydration.

If you do not develop any fever or if the diarrhea does not continue to get worse, you will not require any additional measures.

That said, if could elaborate what exactly do you mean by bad stomach, I will be able to suggest better, do you mean to say, you have pain in the abdomen, or do you have gurgling sounds and bloated stomach etc?

Please specify the exact symptoms so that I can understand better.

The most likely cause for your symptoms is an infection, or food poisoning.

You can take Capsule Omeprazole 20 mg twice a day before food for 5 days, that will reduce the stomach upset.

Please drink adequate amounts of fluids and take probiotics such as Sporolac sachets twice a day for 5 days.

If the symptoms get worse, and if you get fever, I would suggest you to consult your local doctor and get appropriate antibiotics prescribed.

Wishing you speedy recovery.

Best wishes.

I completely understand your problem, but your stomach and intestines need some time to recover. Take Omeprazole as advised and give your tummy some time to heal. You will be alright soon.
