I have a bloated stomach with diarrhoea
I have a bloated stomach with diarrhoea for the past two days and it doesn't go away despite taking over the counter gas medications. I also have lost all appetite and have the sensation of a full stomach at all times. I am also sometimes woken up in the middle of the night with stomach pain.

You probably have gastroenteritis. You need probiotic medications like Bifilac or Vyzylac along with PPI tablets for 5 days. Do consult a doctor in person, preferably a surgeon to see if you require antibiotics too. Drink plenty of water and eat bland food for 4 to 5 days.
