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.

Hello,
Possible radiation induced changes in intestine flora.
Primary recommendations are:
- Drink more liquids.
- Consume bland diet.
- Regular intake of proton pump inhibitor, pro biotic to support intestine flora.
- Avoid smoking or alcohol if consuming.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
