General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Firstly, I would suggest you avoid cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, and certain fruits, such as bananas and raisins.

I also suggest you take a less oily diet, take a fiber-rich diet.

Meanwhile, start these medicines:

1. Aluminum Hydroxide / Magnesium Hydroxide / Simethicone combination Dosage 400 mg-400 mg-40 mg/5 mL
2. Loperamide 4 mg orally after the first loose stool, then 2 mg orally after each unformed stool (upto 10 mg per day, not more than this).

Do this treatment for 1 month, then if any problem persists, please feel free to ask here. Do not worry. You will be fine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
