Suggest Remedy For Stomach Ailments

I'm 29, 5'4 and about 170. I have been having problems with my stomach and going #2 the last few days. It started Sunday after the movies and popcorn with friends. I still havent gone #2 like normal and after I eat I'm getting cramping and bubbling. Last night the pain was so bad I almost went to the ER, but I have no health insurance so I didnt go. I'm usually a regular person. I've taken some powder stuff my sisterinlaw gave me and it didnt work, I also have had a few cups of coffee which normaly makes me go, but nothing. PLEASE HELP!

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Since there is a history if taking popcorn after movies, the most probable cause of your stomach ailment looks to be an intestinal infection which in turn is giving you pain and bubbling feeling in abdomen on eating something.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get a stool test and if it is indicative of an infection visit a walk-in clinic or any such free Govt facility to consult a Doctor or a Paramedic to get examined and get a prescription based medications as you may not get some medications without a valid prescription.
Till then take antispasmodic, PPI like Omeprazole, antacids, activated charcoal tablets, bananas, yogurt, plenty of fluids to maintain good hydration.
