Suggest Treatment For Gas, Mild Bloating And Loose Motion

I've been having frequent gas, mild bloating & very frequent soft small stools for a couple weeks. At first thought it might b lactose intolerance but don't think so. There's no pain but far too frequent theirs to the bathroom. I'm diabetic but fairly well controlled having just had recent check up w/ my doctor. Also leaving in a few days to visit my 97 yr old mother in FL for her birthday. Might also mention I've been on medication for five months for anxiety & situational depression which I will be stopping in Feb.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of gas, mild bloating and loose motion which is due to poor digestion, poor absorption or rapid movement through the intestines and all this leads to loose motion. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take zinc supplements along with oral rehydrating solution. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If your symptoms keeps on persisting visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined and start treatment accordingly. Drink plenty of fluids. You should take antibiotic such as oflox-oz along with rekool-d empty stomach one hour before meal. You can take Nitazoxanide twice daily to prevent diarrhea. You should maintain the hydration of the body by taking plenty of oral fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
