Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Diarrhea, Back Pain, Belching. Lap Band Patient. Any Ideas?
I am a lap band patient. I have had it for 4 years. The last couple of days, everything I eat or drink makes me throw up, I woke up this morning with diarrhea and back pain. My throw up is not normal, it's more of a belch up and everything comes up. My band is not too tight, I haven't had an adjustment in 3 months. I'm not sure what is wrong. I am a huge tea drinker and I had to stop drinking it. What's wrong?
Hi, it appears that you have the food poisoning, due to some out side foods, I advise you to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. If there is dehydration, you may need to have infusion of the fluids. I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe ofloxacin 200 BD, omeprazole, domperidone, and loperamide when there are motions. Thank you.
