Whenever I eat potato, gourd (ghiya) or besan, I get diarrhea for at least a couple of days. It only stops when I eat khichdi and the meds I got from a hospital. I ate a guava two days ago, and since yesterday morning, I have been burping non stop. Doesn't matter if I eat or not, it doesn't stop. Please help

Hello Akshay ji,

Thank you for explaining your symptoms clearly. What you're experiencing suggests a sensitive or reactive digestive system, and it may be related to food intolerance, gut imbalance, or IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Here's how to understand and manage it:

Possible Reasons Behind Your Symptoms:

  • Food Intolerance: Your body might not be digesting certain foods like potato, gourd, besan, or guava properly

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): It can cause diarrhea after specific food triggers and bloating or excessive burping

  • Acid reflux or gastritis: This can lead to constant burping, especially after acidic or fibrous fruits like guava

  • Gut flora imbalance: If you’ve had repeated diarrhea or antibiotics in the past, your digestive bacteria may be off balance

What You Should Do:

  1. Maintain a food diary: Track what foods trigger symptoms

  2. Avoid known triggers temporarily: Potato, gourd, besan, and guava for now

  3. Stick to gut-friendly meals: Like khichdi, curd, moong dal, plain toast

  4. Don’t skip meals: Eat small, frequent meals to reduce gas

  5. Drink lukewarm water, avoid cold drinks and raw foods

When to See a Doctor:

  • If diarrhea or burping persists for more than 2–3 days

  • If you feel weak, dehydrated, or have abdominal pain

  • A gastroenterologist may recommend tests like stool analysis, food allergy test, or upper GI scan

My grandmother has diabetes, and recently there has been pus accumulation in one of her toes. After consulting a doctor, we were informed that it is wet gangrene. We have started the treatment, but the doctor advised us to consult a surgeon as well. Could you please let us know if there is a consultant surgeon at BHRC
