Entaquinol and Metrogyl (metronidazole) are highly effective for treating infections causing gas and diarrhea, but your intestines can remain sensitive and inflamed as they heal, causing that mild pain around your belly button. I recommend sticking to a bland diet (like rice and bananas), staying well-hydrated, and avoiding dairy, caffeine, and spicy foods for a few days. This discomfort usually resolves as your gut recovers. However, if the pain becomes severe, or if you develop a fever, vomiting, or blood in your stool, please contact your doctor promptly.
