Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea Along With Abdominal Discomfort

I have had bouts of diarreah for over a year. Right before each episode I get discomfort in my abdomen area about 2 inches above my belly button, my stomach or intestines gurgle then immediately I must run to the restroom, this happens a lot at night while Im sleeping, very often I am having bowel movements at 3 or 4 am.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
I would advise that you should take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals for relief. A probiotic along with digestive enzyme preparation containing pepsin and fungal diastase after meals will have added benefits.
You should eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions. Avoid spicy and oily foods.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
