Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dirarrhea and excessive abdominal gas which seems to be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease, ulcerative colitis and could be due to irritable bowel syndrome. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid intake of large meals at a time and take small and frequent meals. Drink plenty of fluids. excercise daily. You should consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order ultrasound , stool test and endoscopy. Doctor may prescribe antacids and proton pump inhibitors. Eat light , avoid non spicy and heavy food and eat fibrous diet.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
