Suggest Remedy For Loose Stools

For the past few days I have noticed that my stools are loose and after eating, I have a bowel movement about a half hour after. I have been taking an imflammatory and mucle relaxiant precription. On saturday I had taken both of the meds without food which is indicated on the prescription that both medication should be taken with food. Two days ago, I did not take them with food but just water in the afternoon. That evening went out and had a steak and a number of drinks, martini, wine and beer. I did not take the medication yesterday. I ate once all day and then had 6-8 beer. I had a sandwich late at night after drinking the beer. Now this morning I did not have anything sold. I had a coffee and cookie. I had to use the bathroom two times since the coffee and cooki. I had stomach cramps as well. Is it the alcohol and medication making me have loose stools?

Hello dear

Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in details .

* This is the side effect of drugs consumed on empty stomach with altered
gut flora mechanics via coffee and beer .
* Guidelines for better outcome from this issue :

Consume plenty of liquids in form of boiled water , lemon juice , coconut water , home made juices , organic tea , coffee , butter milk etc .
Prefer soft , light , bland , vegan diet with fresh curd preferably .

Avoid all types of oily , spicy , non veg , hot beverages , junk foods , dairy fat , milk till recovery .

Intake of PPI ( as omeprazole ) , antibiotics ( with metronidazole on pack )
Probiotics with lacto bacillus helps to give faster recovery .

Hope this will help to clear your doubt .
Wishing you fine recovery .
