Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea And Stomach Cramps
Question: I developed diarrhea 4 days ago with stomach cramps. It was watery and I went very often. Now, if I drink water or have anything or eat even a small amount of food, within 5 min my stomach cramps and I have a bowel movement with a lot of mucus in it.
Brief Answer:
hypersensitive GI tract
Detailed Answer:
Thank yuou for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You had a bout of a GI illness which included diarrhea and stomach cramps. Now whenever you eat you have repeat cramps and need to have a bowel movement that has lots of mucous. This sounds like you have a bacterial infection in your lower intestines. To help restore your normal bacterial flora I would recommend that you start taking a probiotic supplement. These supplements help restart you normal flora after antibiotics but will also help after a bout of infection.
If this does not help then you may need additional testing and medication that you can get from your doctor.
I hope this answers your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care concerns or questions
