Alternating diarrhea/constipation

2018-11-12 14:04:42
Over the past week, I've had recurring a upset stomach and loose motion so I took an eldoper a few days back to halt it. Following that, I had constipation during which I felt uncomfortably bloated, gassy and full. Now I'm back to having loose motion and cannot eat anything without my stomach churning it out 10 minutes later. I suspect I may have lactose intolerance but I'm not sure. What do I do to cure this?
