What steps can I take to treat ongoing digestive issues, loose stools, and trouble digesting heavy foods or proteins that started after the stomach flu and have only temporarily responded to Pantodac, probiotics, and psyllium husk?
It is quite common to experience post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome or temporary enzyme deficiencies after a stomach flu. Since Pantodac (pantoprazole), probiotics, and psyllium husk have only given temporary relief, your gut may need a gentler approach. Try eating smaller, more frequent meals focusing on easily digestible, cooked proteins, and consider a temporary low-FODMAP diet. Keeping a food diary can help identify specific triggers. Please consult your doctor to discuss these symptoms; they might suggest temporary digestive enzyme supplements or testing for SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) to help get your digestion back on track.
