Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I read carefully all your concerns and I understood your query.
Your symptoms like diarrhea, bloating, abdominal discomfort are mostly related with an acute issues like:
- food poising
- acute gastroenteritis
This is why at your situation I suggest as follows:
- take plenty of water
- eat often and small amount of meal
- avoid spicy and fatty foods
- use antacids like gaviscon
- use probiotics
- use PPI's treatment like Prilosec OTC
- use simethicone to avoid gas forming.
If your symptoms get worse and doesn't improve than please go to ER.
Hope it was helpful to you!
