What Could Be Causing My Persistent Stomach Cramps and Soft Stools?
10 days ago I started having diarrhea and cramps, I couldn’t explain why because I was careful with what I ate. During the first days it was bad I had to wake up early in the morning to go to the toilet. On 7th day I started doing the following: - drinking a lot of mint tea - taking 5 drops of liquid propolis every day - took a teaspoon of cocoa raw once - ate toast and bananas and soup and rice only - no sugar for 2 days - taking one Imodium once a day Now it is the 10th day since I have this problem. Compared to the beginning, I no longer have diarrhea that wakes me up. I only feel the need to go once a day but the stool is still a little too soft. The main issue is the stomach ache and cramps which seem to be stronger than in the beginning. Nauseous in the morning after eating breakfast but didn’t throw up. Otherwise I feel fine - full energy, no weakness, no dehydration. If it’s worth mentioning I have an irregular sleep schedule where I sleep at 4-5 AM and wake up around noon every day (still 7+ hours of sleep) I noticed that before this issue started, I did the following things the day before: - started eating sunflower seeds - started taking vitamin D - ate persimmons for the first time this year - ate Cadbury chocolate for the first time I stopped all of them on my 7th day
