Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in!

From what you are describing, having diarrhea and bloating might be related to:
- food intolerance
- bowel infection

I advise to consult with GI specialist and to run further tests to determine the right cause:
- abdominal ultrasound
- culture of feces for pathological bacteria/fungal infection
- examination of stool for ova/parasites

For the moment, I advise to:
- continue having light meals (white rice, yogurt, soups, etc.)
- continue taking probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
- take pepto bismol or tasectan to stop diarrhea
- take simethicone to ease bloating
- take antacids after each meal to stabilize stomach pH

Wish you fast recovery!
