Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent bowel movements along with flatulence which could be due to irritable bowel syndrome, gastroenteritis, giardiasis, poor metabolism of body, lactose intolerance, and food poisoning. I would suggest you to take proper rest and avoid intake of any sharp, spicy and oily food. You should take over the counter anti histamine twice a day like benadryl , take antacid after every meal , take small and frequent meal. You should avoid lying down immediately after having food. I would suggest you to eat light and non spicy , avoid dairy products , avoid food like nuts and sea food and take light walk after every meal . Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order endoscopy , stool test along with ultrasound . Doctor may prescribe omeprazole , ornidazole , loperamide along with anti inflammatory . You can also take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
