Stomach Pain
Hello. I would like to consult you regarding an upset stomach. Last night, I had a veg-loaded pizza and a coconut shake. A few hours later, I experienced severe stomach pain followed by a bowel movement. I am still feeling a slight pain in my stomach now. I took one Sporolac tablet last night. Could you please advise me on what I should do next and if I need any further medication

Upper abdominal pain after food may be due to acidity/gastritis, indigestion or gallbladder causes, but examination is needed if it continues.
For now take light meals, avoid spicy/oily food, alcohol and unnecessary painkillers, and maintain hydration; do not repeatedly self-medicate with laxatives.
Urgent assessment is needed for severe or increasing pain, repeated vomiting, fever, black stools, jaundice, chest discomfort or pain moving to the back.
Please book an appointment with a physician/gastroenterologist if pain persists or recurs for a focused examination and appropriate tests.

Most likely indigestion/food intolerance after a heavy meal. Since pain is now mild and bowel movement occurred, supportive treatment is reasonable.
Prescription:
• Tab. Pantoprazole 40 mg – 1 OD before breakfast × 5 days
• ORS – frequent sips
• No antibiotics needed at present.
Next Steps
Light meals, good hydration; avoid oily/spicy food for 2–3 days
Health Tips
Advice:

After a heavy meal with cocktail of foods may cause stomach upset and bowel irritation ..
By taking sporlac you did good thing with your best knowledge but you should consult with a physician like me and others here on practo or physically at nearby hospital..
Don't take OTC drugs as they may make it worse ..

First and foremost is adequate hydration including 1 glass of ORS twice a day
I would not like to advise you directly with antibiotics
As some infections resolve on their own
If you had fever also, then I would have suggested antibiotics
Eat light meals more of liquid and ONLY homemade food for a week
And 10-15 min walk after every meal is a must
In case of severe pain, you can take spasrid tablets for Max 2 times a day
But take only in case of severe pain
If symptoms persists after 3 days
Kindly connect with me for consultation
