I am having loose motions 5 to 6 times a day after a recent stomach infection, and even with normal food, it is not settling. What should I do to stop it?

Asked by Female, 29 · 1 month ago

Frequent loose motions after a recent infection may be due to ongoing gut irritation or an imbalance of normal intestinal bacteria. Even with normal food, the intestine may take time to recover and become sensitive for a while. Follow a light diet, avoid spicy or oily foods and maintain good hydration to support healing. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen, or if you feel weak, for proper evaluation and treatment.

You are experiencing persistent loose motions after a recent stomach infection, which can lead to dehydration and nutrient loss if not managed properly.

🩺 What You Can Do Now

  • Increase fluid intake with oral rehydration solutions (ORS), coconut water, or clear soups to prevent dehydration.
  • Eat light, bland foods such as khichdi, boiled potatoes, bananas, and yogurt to help settle your stomach.
  • Avoid spicy, oily, and heavy foods until symptoms improve.

⚕️ When to See a Doctor

  • If loose motions continue beyond 2 days or worsen.
  • If you notice blood or mucus in stools, high fever, or severe abdominal pain.
  • If you feel very weak or dehydrated (dizziness, dry mouth, reduced urination).

Since your symptoms persist despite normal food intake, it is important to consult a gastroenterologist for proper evaluation and treatment. They may consider medications like antibiotics if a bacterial infection persists or other causes.

⚠️ Warning Signs Requiring Urgent Care

  • Severe dehydration signs (confusion, rapid heartbeat).
  • Bloody stools or persistent high fever.
  • Severe abdominal cramps or vomiting.
