Suggest Treatment For Loose Watery Stools

I had an egg retrieval (ivf) done on friday and hadnt pooped since thursday. Im due to have a transfer done either monday or wednesday. Now im really hoping for wednesday. I took milk of magnesia 3tbsp around 3pm and have done so every two hours till i went (about 5 doses) Now im in the bathroom every couple minutes basically pooping water. How long will it take, and is there anything i can do, to get this out my system and get me back to normal so i can do my procedure with no worries of pooping in my doctors face. Completely embarrassed but i need to know. Thanks

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of loose watery stools. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gastroenteritis , food poisoning , irritable bowel syndrome , lactose intolerance or intestinal illus. It seems to be due to food poisoning and due to food inrtolerance. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order stool test , ultrasound , endoscopy along with that take history . Drink plenty of fluids. You should eat light and non spicy. You should avoid food like seafood and nuts. You should take antacid after every meal and keep your head elevated while lying down. You should take proper course of antacid along with proton pump inhibitors.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
