Suggest Treatment For Stomach And Intestinal Discomfort And Pain
Im 51 year old female with stomach or intestinal discomfort for 7 days. for 2 nights it kept me up and was painful. This morning I finally had a bowel movement that was mostly normal but was hard like I was dehydrated. I felt better for a few hours after that. Had lunch bland turkey 1/2 sandwich. 2hrs later had a handful of potato chips and now it hurts again. Is this just some virus. Im generally healthy and exercise daily. Had a normal colonoscopy 2 mos. ago. Super uncomfortable is there any over the counter remedies.

Hello dear user!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic
In most of the cases gastrointestinal abdominal discomfort, dyspepsia, stomach pain is due to a viral condition. There are cases associated with the diarrhea. Anyway if you have not fevers and diarrhea, I would not recommend a severe treatment with drugs. Just keep a balanced diet with watery foods, like soups which are easily digested and high fiber containing foods. To improve the digestion I would recommend you to take some lactic ferments which are easily found over the counter, and butilscopolamine or similar medication to that only if you have cramps or stomach pain.
If your symptoms persists for a couple of days more please contact a doctor at your healthcare center to have further examinations.
I hope this answer was helpful to you!
