How To Treat Stomach Cramping After Eating?
Hello, I drank two cups of herbal laxative tea one after the other on holiday the other day, thinking they d be mild & help with constipation. I woke up with agonising cramps which were gone once I passed a stool. But Its been a week now & I m still getting stomach cramps an hour or two after eating & my stools are still very soft, though not technically diarrea. There s also a slight discharge. How do I fix this? Thank you

Hello,
Thanks for using HCM.
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
That laxative must have irritated your stomach and duodenum, that is why you are getting stomach cramps.
Take pantoprazole empty stomach for about 2 weeks.
You can take antispasmodic if pain is more.
Take bland diet for few days
Drink plenty of water.
Hope , this suggestion will help you.
Good luck.
