Hello,

Jalra is an anti diabetic medication. These medications can cause diarrhea as a side effect. So, the stomach discomfort and loose motion are probably due to these medications. I recommend using an over the counter option to treat the diarrhea such as Imodium. I also recommend to use daily probiotics. The symptoms will probably relieve gradually as the system get used to the treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
