Suggest Treatment For Upset Stomach

On Sunday I mixed bananas into my regular daily shake. The bananas were brown and rather mushy, but I didn't think much of it since I was blending them into my shake. Since then, my stomach has been very uncomfortable (upper abdomen) and feels pretty knotted up. It's also gurgling rather consistently, even throughout the night. I've tried drinking ginger tea, ginger ale, taken gas x and Tylenol. Nothing seems to be easing it. Please help!!!

Hello,

Bananas probably not cause you above symptoms until unless they are contaminated or you are allergic to banana. I think you developed food poisoning symptoms.

So, give rest to your bowel, just drink soft diet. Use tablet Lansoprazole before breakfast for one week. Tablet Oflox Ornidazole twice a day for five days may also helpful.

If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
