It sounds like you've developed a rebound effect after stopping the medicine your aunt recommended for digestion issues, leading to worsened symptoms like frequent bowel movements, abnormal stools, and a general decline in your health. Without knowing the exact medication you were taking, it's possible that it might have affected your gut flora, slowed your digestion artificially, or disrupted your body's natural digestion regulation.
Next Steps
Immediate Steps:
Hydration: Drink ORS or plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
Probiotic: Take Vizylac to restore gut flora.
Diet: Stick to a BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) to ease digestion.
Medication:
Racecadotril (Redotil) 100 mg BD – to reduce diarrhea.
Cyclopam – if experiencing abdominal cramps.
Lomofen – if diarrhea is severe.
Pantoprazole 1 OD – to protect the stomach.
Health Tips
If symptoms worsen or persist, get a stool test and consider a medical evaluation.

It sounds like the medicines you took might have temporarily helped but may not have addressed the underlying issue. Now that youâve stopped them, your digestion seems to have worsened. Taking unprescribed medicines can sometimes mask symptoms without treating the root cause.
Next Steps:
Stop taking any unprescribed medications.
Stay hydrated and eat a simple, bland diet (e.g., rice, bananas, toast) to help ease your digestion.
Try a probiotic or yogurt to restore gut health.
Avoid spicy, fatty, or fried foods for now.
Consult a doctor to evaluate your symptoms, as you might need a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Health Tips
For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider to get to the root of your digestion issues.

Visit a Doctor: Since your symptoms worsened after stopping the medication, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional. They can perform tests to assess whether the medication caused any lasting issues, such as changes to gut motility or malabsorption.
• Check for Infection: Sometimes, digestive issues can be caused by an infection or inflammation in the gut, especially if the symptoms suddenly worsen. A doctor may recommend a stool test or blood test to rule out infections or conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Next Steps
Consult Doctor
Health Tips
It’s important to avoid self-medicating with unknown treatments in the future, as they can sometimes cause more harm than good.

It sounds like your digestion issue has been exacerbated by the unprescribed medication, which may have temporarily masked the problem without addressing the underlying cause. The frequent trips to the washroom and abnormal stool could indicate that your gut is struggling to readjust. I recommend stopping the use of any unprescribed medicine immediately. For now, focus on staying hydrated and follow a bland diet like rice, bananas, and toast. Adding probiotics or plain yogurt to your diet may help restore healthy gut bacteria. Avoid spicy, oily, or fried foods, as these may worsen your symptoms.
For a more thorough evaluation and to get the appropriate treatment plan tailored to your condition, please consult with me directly. You can also message me via WhatsApp at eight, zero, zero, nine, eight, two, one, three, three, two for further assistance.
