What Is The Treatment For Stomach Burn And Loose Motion?

I have been experiencing stomach burning, periodic loose bowels and a considerable amount of gas. My regular family phisician recently retired and I have not scheduled an appointment with a new doctor yet. I finished taking 37 radiation treatment in Feb. for breast cancer and will see my oncologist in Dec. Several times the radiation doctor would ask if I was experiencing any stomach problems. Therefore, I am wondering if the trouble I am having is related to the radiation.
