Hi. Energy drinks can cause gastritis, acid irritation, anxiety, and loose stools, but persistent stomach pain and diarrhea for 15 days should not be assumed to be due to caffeine alone. Please stop all energy drinks, stay well hydrated, eat a bland diet, and avoid spicy/oily foods, alcohol, and excess tea/coffee. You should be examined by a physician, as you may need tests (such as stool examination or blood tests) and treatment with medications like acid suppressants if indicated. If you develop severe abdominal pain, blood in stools, persistent vomiting, high fever, or signs of dehydration, seek urgent medical care

Good that you have stopped consuming high caffeine and high sugary energy drinks from past 15 days. And don't take them any further. You are actually facing caffeine induced gastritis (erosion of gastric mucus)as well as withdrawal of caffeine symptoms. It takes 10 to 15days to settle down. Use PPIs, antacids and probiotics. Meftalspas won't work for this... As you don't have fever or Any other symptoms of bacterial infection as a cause for your diarrhea, so no need of any antibiotics.

The root cause is clear â 2 months of daily Sting and Red Bull has caused caffeine-induced gastritis and gut irritation. High-caffeine energy drinks inflame the stomach lining, accelerate gut motility causing diarrhea, and directly cause anxiety through stimulant effects. Meftal Spas is an antispasmodic/painkiller and will not treat the underlying gastritis â that is why it isn't helping. Stop all energy drinks, coffee, and tea completely right now. Start a proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole 20 mg once daily before breakfast) for 4 weeks to heal the stomach lining, along with an antacid (like Gelusil or Digene) after meals for symptom relief. Eat bland food â avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods. Some anxiety and loose motions may also be caffeine withdrawal symptoms, which usually settle within 1â2 weeks after stopping completely.
Next Steps
If diarrhea does not improve within a week of stopping energy drinks and starting omeprazole, get a stool routine and culture done. Do not resume energy drinks â they cause real harm to your stomach, heart, and nervous system. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
