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
