What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain With Diarrhea?
Question: My wbc is 14.6. My triglycerides are high... My stool culture came back negative... My lower abdomen is very painful and I have diarreah 6 to 8 time as a day for the last month or so. Help
Brief Answer:
Could Be GastroIntestinal Infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in
Primarily the information points to soome form of infection of the gastrointestinal track
As you WBC is on a higher side and you have frequency of stool along with lower abdominal pain chances are you have collitis.
I see you already have had normal stool culture. When was it done. Was a stool routine examination performed before the culture. And can you upload the reports to me using this site uploader.
I would like to review the stool reports before suggesting my opinion. In the mean time take a probiotic twice a day for minimum of seven days and an antispasmodic for pain
Hope this helps
