Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent bowel movements which can be due to many reasons for symptoms you mention in query

- Infection by H. Pylori bacteria
- Gastroenteritis
- Medication reaction or side-effect
- Irritable bowel syndrome

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid eating heavy and spicy , eat small and frequent meals. You should take plenty of fluids to rehydrate body. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain tests like endoscopy and stool test and take history . Doctor may prescribe loperamide , ornidazole along with anti inflammatory. Eat 1-2 banana in a day and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
