Hi. The symptoms you describe could be due to several different things, such as Acid reflux. You could try Tums (calcium carbonate) or H2-blockers (Famotidine or Ranitidine) that you can buy over the counter.

However acid reflux doesn't usually cause diarrhea, so if the diarrhea continues I would recommend speaking with your doctor. If you have had GI surgery before (or even if you haven't), there is a condition called 'bacterial overgrowth' that can cause the symptoms you are describing. If that is the case, you may need to take antibiotics. If you develop a high fever or see blood in your stool, I would recommend speaking with a doctor today.
