Why Did I Stopped Having Bowel Movements after Taking Loperamide?

Patient's Query

I was loose motion before 2 days . I taken loperamide capsule but stopped my latrin from 2 days .

Gastroenterology

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

It seems that you are having constipation caused by loperamide which you took for your loose motions. The reason behind this is that loperamide reduces the movement of your gut. Dehydration, lack of fiber in the diet, or certain medications are some of the most common causes of constipation. To treat constipation, one should drink enough water, consume high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables, and do mild exercises such as walking.

Going to the bathroom fifty times a day is not normal. This may signify a health issue that requires immediate care. It could be the case that loose motions for a long time may be as a result of infections, food intolerances, or inflammation in the gut.

Male | 21

You might have a stomach bug. Feeling nauseous, abdominal pain, low blood pressure, night chills, fatigue, or lack of appetite indicate this. A virus likely causes it. Rest, stay hydrated, eat plain foods like toast or crackers to settle your stomach. If no improvement in a few days, seek medical help.

hi ..i am 7 month (28) pregnant ..Yesterday, I walked a little too fast, and it started to cause pain on the left side of my stomach.but I was fine with rest and water, but today there is a little pain again. What should I do??

Female | 28

As you're 7 months pregnant and feeling some pain on the left side of your stomach. When you walk fast during pregnancy, the round ligaments that support your uterus can get stretched, causing that discomfort. It's pretty common, nothing to worry too much about. However, it's good to take it easy when you feel that pain. Make sure to stay hydrated and rest. If the pain persists or gets worse, it's best to give your gynecologist a call, just to be on the safe side.

I am 25 and I've been experiencing abdominal cramps, fever. The cramps are fine now. But now I have diarrhea and the stools are yellow and foamy and very frequent. I don't know what to do.

Female | 25

The following is an attempt to explain what could be the reason behind frequently going to the loo with a yellow, foamy stool and the way the body deals with unwanted substances. It is possibly diarrhea caused by the stomach flu or eating something that didn't sit right. To restore electrolytes, drink plenty of water and be properly hydrated. If you experience the loss of appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting that come with the condition, avoid high-fiber foods and processed carbs.

You may be constipated and have diarrhea. This is the situation one can find him or herself should one contemplate from the perspective of a patient.

You could be suffering acid reflux which is the actual reason for a painful chest. Zerodol has the potential to occasionally cause stomach inflammation, which might have been the cause of your chest conditions. In this regard, try to eat smaller meals, avoid hot, spicy foods, and remain standing for some time after your meal. You might also consider talking to a pharmacist for advice on which over-the-counter medications are best for acid reflux.

Male | 24

The stress from work and the pressure to perform can really take a toll on our mental health. It's no wonder you're feeling overwhelmed. Depression and schizophrenia are serious conditions that can be influenced by a variety of factors, including stress, genetic predisposition, and life events. Seeking help from a psychiatrist was a good first step. The medication he prescribed, olanzapine, is commonly used to manage symptoms of schizophrenia. However, it can sometimes cause mood swings as a side effect. It's crucial to communicate openly with psychiatrist about these side effects so he can adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Dealing with stomach issues like ulcers and GERD on top of everything else must be incredibly challenging. Pantoprazole is a standard treatment for these conditions, but it's essential to follow up with your gastroenterologist regularly to ensure it's effectively managing your symptoms. In terms of your current job situation at SBI, it sounds like the demands are adding to your stress levels. It might be helpful to have an open conversation with your manager about how you're feeling. Exploring stress management techniques, like mindfulness or exercise, could also be beneficial.

Male | 73 years

It's important to address your concerns regarding digestion and bowel movements. Your description suggests possible constipation, which can occur due to dietary factors, dehydration, or reduced physical activity. The presence of blood in your stools should be taken seriously, as it may indicate a condition that requires medical attention. To improve your situation, consider increasing your fluid intake, incorporating more fiber-rich foods like fruits and vegetables, and engaging in gentle physical activity if possible. However, given your symptoms, especially the blood, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist to ensure proper evaluation and personalized treatment.
