how to get loose motions - #21319

Sara

I am in a bit of a weird situation and honestly, I’m kinda frustrated. Last week, I went out with friends and tried some street food that I probably shouldn’t have. Since then, my stomach’s been feeling all sorts of messed up. I don’t know if it’s food poisoning or what, but I’m seriously dealing with this discomfort and just can’t seem to figure out how to get loose motions. Like, I thought I’d have to rush to the bathroom, but it’s more like my stomach is just cramping and flipping. I’ve tried drinking some warm water and having ginger tea, but nothing really works. I read somewhere that some people do certain things just to encourage their body to have loose motions when they feel all backed up or swollen. That’s the thing, do I even need to push for loose motions? My gut health seems off, but I don’t want it to turn into something bigger. Should I be looking into over-the-counter meds or just ride it out? Honestly, I'm just wanting to know how to get loose motions without making it worse. If anyone’s dealt with this kinda thing, what did you do? What helped? Are there foods or home remedies that can actually assist? Got any quick fixes??
