Brief answer....it seems to be a viral diarrhoea
Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your complaints.
Your symptoms and history suggests that you are suffering from viral diarrhoea.
Since it is a viral infection there is no need to take any antibiotics.
Treatment is....
Taking a proton pump inhibitor like PANTOPROZOLE 40 mg on empty stomach once a day for 4-5 days.
Taking plenty of liquids like plain water,lemon water,coconut water etc
Eat light food like rice,bread curd etc.
Take probiotic like VIZYLAC twice a day.
In case fever is there you can take paracetamol.
You should be all right in next 3-4 days.
I hope it helps however you are most welcome to revert to me.
Best of luck
Thanks

now im having intestinal gas. A lot of it. its been bad for about aproximately 6hours. When it gathers up in my stomach i either burp or release the gas through my bowel movement. just a couple minutes ago i tried using the toilet. and i released a huge amount of gas through my bowel movement with yellow liquid.

I ate rice noodle(pho-but not a big portion) and drank 2 cups of coconut juice.
have a minor headache/light headed. i dont know if its lack of food. only ate once today(pho)

And i noticed something just now. after the toilet my stomach hasnt been gurgling(creating gas).

Hello,
Bloating and gas collection is very common which would go away soon the moment viral infection recedes.
Take the meicines and liquids as advised in my earlier post.
You may take paracetamol if having bodyache or fever or headache.
Everything shall settle soon.
Thanks
