Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having diarrhea for some time now. I went to the doctor and they gave me medicine to stop the diarrhea cause it was getting really bad. It helped for a while then started up again. So I went to a different doctor and they said that I have an inflamed stomach lining and to have no spicy foods,milk,coffee,soda things like that. I eat then about 1 hour later im in the bathroom. What can I take for the diarrhea?
Some advice that I can give to you for the diarrhea are:
- Take over-the-counter options include Imodium (Loperamide) and Pepto-Bismol or Kaopectate (bismuth subsalicylate). - Take probiotic. - Take frequent, small sips of water or a rehydration drink and small bites of salty crackers. - Begin eating mild foods the next day or sooner, depending on how you feel.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
