Question : Hello,
I have had an upset stomach for a week now. There has been no diarrhea or vomiting and my stools have been normal however slightly more often than usual. I pretty much just either feel nauseated or have a burning feeling that radiates through my stomach/abdomen. I have been taking omeprazole and zantac and eating a bland diet. Also I took a probiotic yesterday that caused bloating really bad. Should I be concerned or just let it run its course?

Your symptoms could be related to mild form of Acute Gastro- intestinal illness.

Meanwhile avoid outside food.Take Electrobion sachets and plenty of fluids.
