Whats Causing Your Tummy Trouble?

Dear Doctor, Some weeks ago, in India, I developed a slight Giardia with a slight sulphur taste. I had bad tummy problems for weeks. It lightened up for 2 months but now I just went without food 2 days but still after eating breakfast of 3 bites of a sandwich and a sip of coffee the same burpy foamy stuff comes up from a very full feeling in top of stomach. I just bought intetrix because the girl behind the counter reccomended it. Is this right? Respectfully

Hi.
With the history you have provided , I am of the opinion that you should consult a Doctor to have proper clinical examination and get a prescription based medcines of antibiotic and metronidazole as it kills the Giardia.
You also need to take a PPI, Domperidone , a motility regulator medicines and supportive medicines as needed for the symptoms you have, take a probiotic also.
Interix alone may not help .
