Thanks for contacting with your health concern.
1. As the symptoms get improved with imodium [loperamide] thus without being able to examine you directly, the pathology might vary from
gastroenteritis to
inflammatory bowel disease to
short bowel syndrome.
2. Get a
second opinion [Gastroenterologist] since it can be symptoms of underlying illness or infection which require medical intervention.
ii. going by your history and symptoms, the most probable diagnosis could be functional IBS [irritable bowel syndrome] which is a collection of symptoms ranging from bloating, diarrhea,
abdominal pain, constipation, till then
i. maintain proper hydration [to prevent dehydration] and replace with electrolytes [avoid apple, grapes, pear juice which can make stomach upset].
ii. Avoid fiber-rich diet, since it can make bloating/diarrhea worse [instead take plain white rice, boiled potato, plain toast]
- avoid eating dairy products, spicy food, and spicy condiments, stay away from artificial sweeteners.
- take less of strong spices (ginger, garlic), oily-fried-fatty food and flatus producing foods (peas, beans, dals)
- eat slowly, avoid haste-irregular eating and sweet/heavy food which are difficult to digest and cause indigestion
- since it is a psychosomatic disease thus tranquility of mind is must, as such Medhya drugs or a mild tranquilizer are useful.
