Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.
I understand your concern.
From your short history, it looks like you suffered a stomach infection due to ingestion of old drink leading to abdominal pain and vomiting. With famotidine and diet modification, the symptoms decreased. But some low grade infection might have persisted hence you have experienced the symptoms again.
In such patients, I generally advise-
Diet modification- taking lots of water, avoiding fatty and junk food, taking dietary fibers, avoiding smoking and alcohol.
Pantoprazole or famotidine for easy digestion.
Ofloxacin-ornidazole combination as antibiotics to deal with the stomach infection.
Lactobacillus XXXXXXX for 10 days as probiotics.
You can consult the above with your treating or family doctor. You are taking diet as advised. Continue that. Rest you can get prescribed and followed.
Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards.
