Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This is in relation with altered gut flora mechanics. Guidelines for better recovery are:
- Drink plenty of liquids.
- Prefer soft, light, bland, vegan diet.
- Avoid all spices, oily, non veg, onion, garlic, pepper, hot beverages, junk foods, dairy fat.
- Probiotics also support to a great extent.
- Regular walking, exercises, YOGA are major supporters.
- Bulk forming laxative as Ispaghula husk has to be taken 3 teaspoonful at night with a glass of drinking lukewarm water.
- Avoid smoking, alcohol if using.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
