Could Recent Changes In My Bowel Movements And New Symptoms Like Tummy Ache, Gurgling, And Cramps Indicate A Serious Issue?

Hi about 3 months ago (approx) my bowel movements changed from being 10.30 regularly to being 2-3 times a morning in smaller amounts. I didn t really think anything of it but for the last 10 days I ve had tummy ache, gurgling, cramps etc and I m now panicking I ve got something seriously wrong with me.

Hello,

Take antacids or PPIs, once daily for 5 days. It will help relieve any discomfort due to gastritis. Include fiber in your regular diet. Take fluids and adequate amount of water. take digestives & liver tonics to help improve your bowel movement. Avoid sedentary lifestyle. Be active. Get clinically examined by a GP, get CBC, urinalysis, stool examination, liver function tests, Hb%, imaging tests etc., done to diagnose liver dysfunction, or gastroenteritis and peptic ulcer. In the meantime, take boiled water and also boiled food. Avoid taking hot, spicy, oily food.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
