Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the pain upper abdomen with episode of diarrhea can be related to:
- Gastric upset in terms of gastritis
- Bacterial or viral infection of small intestine
- Drug induced as antibiotic side effect or else
My guidelines at present:
- Drink more liquids in sessions
- Avoid aertaed drinks
- Prefer bland, vegan diet
- Avoid all spices, non veg, dairy fat, junk foods
- Intake of
proton pump inhibitor as omeprazole on empty stomach with sips of water
- Consider need of GI specific antibiotic as
metronidazole, rifaximin or others with your
primary care giver
- Anti spasmodic medicine as
dicyclomine or
drotaverine to be consumed after meals
- Pre and pro biotics with lacto bacillus and sachharomyosis bullardiae
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
