Question : I am a normal weight healthy eating and active 64 year old male. two days ago I felt like I was full up to my throat. The next day, after getting a chiropractic adjustment for reacuring back pain ( after doing outside yard and construction work ) . I had an explosive mostly liquid bowel movement. Since then bowel movements are still liquid and look like green pea soup. No cramps, vomiting or any other symptoms. I have taken nothing for this. Eating normally drinking lots of fluids. Who should I go see and what might this be. Thank you for your time.

GERD and stomach bug

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I am Dr.Barani and I am pleased to assist you.

You are having symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease ( feeling full up to your throat) and of stomach bug ( loose stools).

Drink enough fluids to remain well hydrated. A moist tongue and a good urine output indicate your hydration is good.
Take omeprazole for GERD.
Take BRAT diet ( Banana, Rice, Apple sauce and Toast).
Probiotic supplements will hasten recovery.

If symptoms persists, you need to consult a gastroenterologist.

I hope that answers your query.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.Barani
