Posted on Thu, 24 Apr 2014
Question: Hi .. 3 days ago i had vomiting after eating bad spicy burger ( in about 10 hours) and the next day i had watery diarrhea with abdominal pain like cramps .. Now the vomiting and diarrhea stopped but still i feel pain in my stomach and the food is undigested , bloating, gassy, there is some pain in my lower stomach and general weakness ... I am not sure if is that gastritis or gastroenteritis ?? I already took ambrazole and i did CBC , LFT and RFT 2 weeks ago and they were normal. Please advice me what to do next because i am trying to avoid endoscopy as possible thank you

Brief Answer: Possible food poisoning gastroenteritis... Detailed Answer: Hi, What you are experiencing is gastroenteritis induced by eating bad spicy burger (possibly food poisoning). It is good that you have vomited all the bad burger. The gastro-intestinal disturbances you are feeling will get better within a few days. There is no need to do endoscopy for this time. I advise: - drink plenty of water - take otc probiotics - have light meals (curd, plain yogurt, soups) - avoid spicy, chilly, oily foods Wish fast recovery! Let me know if you have further queries!

Brief Answer: Glad to know I was of help! Detailed Answer: Hi back, Glad to know I was of help. The "recotan" tablet you use refers to "clotan" (tolfenamic acid) to my knowledge. Yes, it will reduce inflammation as it's included in the drug group of non-steroidal-antiinflammatory-drugs. Wish fast recovery! Dr.Klerida
