Loose Motions, Contractions. On Zanocin. Further?

For last 2 months I am having lose motions frequently and feel very uncomfortable when I move out of the house because you never know when you have to go the toilet.After lunch or food intake I face this problem from last 1.5 months.I had taken some medicine like Zanocin for about 5 days and was okay for about a week but again the occasional diarrhea started, I ALWAYS HAVE feeling that i need to go to the toilet. It is really bothering me.I had travelled by train and contracted somekind of infection which just wouldn t go.Please tell me something about my food intake discipline - i enjoy eating rich and spicy food and drink normal water.

You should avoid spicy oily food for few days. Eat soft diet use yougurt , fruits like banana etc. you should also do go through few lab investigations like stool culture , Serum Electrolytes .
