hello and thanks for the query,
the symptoms you gave are of acute gastritis leading to ulceration get yourself started on
proton pump inhibitors once before breakfast and sucralfate(syrup) and if the condition persists you should get an endoscopy, to rule out what is the cause of bleeding.also avoid spicy food,fast food,soft drinks,smoking.eat fruits(avoid citrus fruits) boiled vegitables and boiled rice.
if diahrrea persists take ORS keep yourself hydrated.
