What Is The Cause For Upset Stomach?

I had a tooth extracted and another one filled on Friday. Today is Tuesday and I am still experiencing an upset stomach. It has improved some. I was having to go to the bathroom immediately after eating. I didn't eat anything on Sunday and only a bowl of oats on Monday evening. The oats stayed on my stomach for about 5 hours. Since then I have gone to the bathroom about every 2 hours. The bowel movements are very loose but not much. I also have a lot of gas on my stomach. My stomach was cramping on Saturday and Sunday. I feel fine now just the bathroom issue concerns me. I took pain medicine (hydrocodon-acetaminophen) on Friday and Saturday morning. Could this be the result of the dental work, novocaine, pain medicine?
