Brief Answer:
Supportive care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Bloody diarrhea and gastric discomfort needs a little workup as it could be a gastroenteritis or dysentery. Stool needs to be examined and tested for the cause, antibiotics and supportive care with antispasmodics, anti helminths may be needed. Use BRAT ( banana, rice, applesauce and toast) diet till full recovery. Take pomegrenate juices, yogurt and peppermint and wait and see.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Khan
