Question : Hi Doctor,

I have frequent stomach upsets or loose motions as it is commonly known. These happen mostly when i have non veg food or drink outside. I have been taking Imodium/ Norflox if the condition gets severe. This has been happening very frequently (once in 2 weeks) over the last 3 months.

Can you please suggest what my best course of action should be? Also, what are some of the foods that i should have or avoid, given this condiiton.

Thank you

Hi

Thanks for writing in

The information you have provided is suggestive of infective and/or ameobic collitis

This happens when you have consumed contaminated food or drink

I would suggest you avoid junk and fermented meals from outisde

Take hygienic food only

Add a probiotic twice a day for two weeks

DO not take norflox inadverently

Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern
