Feeling Gassy, Having Diarrhea And Difficulty In Digesting. Urine Dark With No Fever And Chills

I began to feel gassy and starting having diarrhea last night. Most of today I felt like I was trying to digest a bag of rocks. Felt weak and even light headed at times for most of the morning. Late today my urine was dark like coca-cola and most recently tonight it was more red in color. No chills or fever, no meds.

Hi,

Your history of feeling gassy, diarrhea and indigestion is suggestive of an intestinal infection.
The dark urine can be due to dehydration but redness can suggest of a possible of a stone in urinary tract or infection.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Consult your Doctor for clinical evaluation.
Tests of urine, stool and blood will help more.
A course of an antibiotic active against intestinal as well as Urinary tract infection such as Ofloxacin and metronidazole may solve your problem. These are prescription based medicines hence you need a valid prescription of a Doctor.
Take plenty of oral fluids.
Take a PPI like Omeprazole.
Prebiotics and probiotics help to restore the intestinal bacterial normal flora.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant,
