Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query in HealthcareMagic,
I have gone through your query and can certainly understand your concern,
From the description that you have provided, you seem to be having symptoms pertaining to a condition called IBS- irritable bowel syndrome. This is a chronic condition, which causes colonic muscle hyperactivity.
Causes for this condition can be multiple:
- diet factors
- gastrointestinal infection
- undue stress
The proper line of management lies in identifying the trigger factors and treating accordingly.
I would suggest you to get some basic investigations done to rule out possible causative factors:
- Complete hemogram
- stool examination
- thyroid function test
- serum calcium
Meanwhile, I would suggest you to do the following:
- consume diet comprising mainly of fibers
- avoid diary products like cheese, butter etc.
- avoid beverages like tea, coffee, or any carbonated drinks.
- Take T. DICYCLOMINE 10mg twice daily for 1 week.
- consume plenty of fluids
I hope this helps,
Please feel free to discuss further or else kindly close and share your positive feedback,
Regards
