default
Posted on Fri, 2 May 2014
Question: I have been having fluid bowels, bowel cramps, stomach cramps, gas, bloated, no fever, head congestion, no runny nose, had mouth sores but I cleared them with proxide soaking for three days until they broke. I am usually able to fix myself but I am baffled with this one. What do you suggest?

Brief Answer: Re-hydration, Antispasmodic, antisecretary. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for using HCM. I went through the query and understood your concern. Loose stool and gaseous abdomen could be due to a faulty or undercooked food in a meal or infection. If you start having continuous loose stools, foul smelling with or without pus with fever, severe bowel cramps even with below said measures then chances of infection being the cause has to be considered. Then you may be needing a course of antibiotics. Oral re-hydration solutions should be taken if you have more watery stools. In the mean time, take antispasmodic drug like buscopan with acetaminophen combination and acid suppressant like pantoprazole which will reduce your bowel & stomach cramps with antisecretary drug like racecodotril to reduce loose stool. I would suggest you to consume juices and soft food like malts or soups for 2 meals from now.This will suffice. Avoid spicy and hard foods for a day from now this will set your bowels in tone back again. Hope I have answered your query. Feel free to ask if any further query and I will be glad to answer them. Wish you good health and faster recovery. Regards,
