Why do I have disturbed bowel movements after having curd?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 32 years old. I feel like I have some digestion issue with curd. Whenever I have curd, I had to visit bathroom frequently. Yesterday afternoon I had curd rice along with boiled chicken after having mutton. Since then I using bathroom frequently, but had a kind of constipation effect and gas problem. Today, I had roti and vegetable kurma for breakfast. After that it worsened with liquid form and seems like diarrhea. Also stomach feels little bloated, slightly diffused pain, some slight rumbling inside and frequent urge to use toilet. What tablet should I take? Am I allergic to curd? I do not have similar problem with milk or buttermilk. Now what food should I eat and what to avoid? Is there a way to keep me energetic with some juice or fruit? Should I visit a doctor? Please guide.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It seems that you are intolerant to curd. Generally, curd contains lactobacilli which are normal commensals of intestine. But in your case, curd is acting as an allergen releasing histamine. So, you have to avoid it. Since, you are tolerant to other milk products; you are not lactose intolerant or allergic to casein in milk products. I would suggest you to give rest to your stomach and take capsule Omez D (contains Omeprazole and Domperidone) empty stomach for five days for gastric upset and capsule Bifilac (probiotic) once in the morning and once at night for five days. Drink plenty of oral fluids or lemon juice to maintain the hydration of your body. I hope this helps. Thank you and take care. Regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest, do not skip lunch. But, take very light food for lunch as well as for dinner which is easily digested without hurting stomach. You are feeling less energetic due to loss of electrolyte for that you can take oral rehydration salt sachet (ORS) with water to replenish the lost electrolytes. You can take Omez D (omeprazole) right now. There is no problem in taking capsule Bifilac (bacillus mesentericus, clostridium butyricum, lactic acid bacillus, and streptococcus faecalis) before meals. Thank you and take care. Regards.
