Hello

It sounds like food intolerance or indigestion.

Cabbage and pawpaw can cause gas and loose motion, especially if your stomach is sensitive.

This can lead to:

Upper abdominal discomfort Urgent diarrhea Gurgling or “running” feeling

Since it has been 1–4 weeks, you may have temporary gut irritation.

What to do:

Avoid cabbage and very ripe papaya for now Eat simple foods (rice, toast, banana, curd) Drink plenty of fluids You can take a probiotic for a few days

If diarrhea continues, becomes severe, or you notice fever/blood in stool, see a doctor.

I trust this helps Thank you Take care

Stomach discomfort after eating certain foods can be due to several factors, such as food sensitivities, digestive issues, or even more chronic gastrointestinal conditions. Consuming cabbage can cause gas and bloating, as it’s high in fiber and certain sugars that some people find hard to digest. Chapati, made from wheat, can be problematic if you have a sensitivity to gluten or wheat. Similarly, combining multiple fruits like pawpaw (papaya) and banana alongside meals can lead to digestive disturbances due to differing digestion times and processes needed for these foods. The combination of high fiber and sugars might be putting a strain on your gastrointestinal system. To address this, try taking note of when exactly these symptoms occur, and perhaps start by eating these foods separately to see which one triggers your symptoms. Adjusting potion sizes could also help, as consuming large amounts might overwhelm your digestive tract. Keep a food diary to track what you eat and any symptoms. If the problem persists or if you notice other concerning symptoms such as weight loss, persistent pain, or blood in stools, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional. There might be an underlying condition that needs to be investigated, such as irritable bowel syndrome or a food intolerance. If symptoms suddenly become severe, consider seeking immediate medical attention to rule out an acute issue like a blockage or inflammation. Taking digestive enzyme supplements or probiotics, after discussing with your doctor, may also offer some relief by helping improve your digestive function.
