[|Human|] For the past week I have been what I think is explosive diarrhea.  It all started with me waking early one morning with pain in the upper part of my stomach which eased during the day but still do not feel quite right after one week.  I am not sure what to do.  Could you suggest some course of action please?ThanksSylvaine
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. Pain in the upper abdomen can result from problems is the digestive system, including stomach, liver, gall bladder and pancreas. I suggest you get an ultrasound scan after getting yourself examined clinically by your doctor. Pain can also be there due to gastritis which is suspected, may require an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. You could take some proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole, omeprazole) 30 minutes before food and avoid spicy food for some time. Hope this helps.
