Hi,

Usually some antibiotics e.g Doxycycline causes upset stomach and loose stools and it settles down once you stop the antibiotic. It seems you are now on Pariet and things are settling down. I understand that you do not have any loose stools or fever but only mild tenderness in navel area. I would recommend you continue on a bland diet and avoid fatty or spicy food and if it still continues the you see a gastroenterologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
