Brief Answer:
Stool examination is needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you might be having infection of the gastrointestinal tract. A stool examination will help in confirming the diagnosis.
I would advise that you should take an antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30 mg and a probiotic.
Further medical management can be planned according to the reports of the stool test.
Eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions. Also maintain your hydration.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Thanks.
