I was having constipation which turned in to normal pain in abdomen. I use 5 mg two tablets to get rid from it. Now after 6 hours of medicine I am suffering from diarrhea. Should I go for loperamide (diarrhea treatment) or should I let it run to clean stomach or intestines. I am medical students too the reason of my constipation and all this was a food because it was very spicy and lots of ingredients were in meat.

You have not written name of tablet. You try taking some precaustions like extra liquid in plenty, light diet, avoiding spicy and fried. If motions become less you may take some acidity tablets like pan 40. If diorrhoea does not improvement then you may have to take intestinal antibiotics for 1- 2 days.

Follow this 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 6. Maintain active life style7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, carbonated beverages 8. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 9.
