Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. You are suffering from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and have severe acidity. The persistent stomach cramping and loose motions are causing you to wake up from sleep. This is causing significant stress and poor sleep. In a lot of individuals stress and anxiety cause such symptoms. The combination of stress and abdominal complaints result in irritable bowel syndrome.

Please visit a psychiatrist for proper evaluation of these symptoms and treatment. Medicines like Clinidium Bromide and Chlordiazepoxide combination are very helpful in such symptoms. The drug combination will not only relieve the symptoms but will help to reduce the stress also. For more severe problems sometimes antacids like Omeprazole or Rabeprozole are needed. Anti anxiety drugs like Paroxetine, Sertraline etc are also very helpful in such symptoms. Visit a psychiatrist for proper help.

Thanks, hope this helps you. Take care
