How Can Stomach Pain, Diarrhea, Fatigue And Sickness Be Treated?

Hi, I have just returned from a two week holiday in Tunisia where I suffered fatigue, feeling sick and constant trips to the toilet which weren t nice, it was sloppy rather than solid and varied in the different shades. Once I haven t eaten for a few hours the pain reduces so I eat but then the pain returns and so does the trips to the toilet. Although it doesn t occur after every meal it has meant at least a dozen trips to the toilet a day, if not more. I still feel the same today after now being back at home for a day and awoke at 8.30am like I did on holiday to go to the toilet three times before 11am. I dont whether it was the food or if I have picked up a bug? It did calm down for a few days but then returned and hasn t left since. Could you provide some advice for me please? Thanks, Hannah

Hi,
From history it seems that taking out side food continuously during trip there might be having GI infection due to contaminated and spicy food producing dysentery type of symptoms.
You might require one course of Metronidazole, ofloxacilin medicine course for 3-5 days.
Take light food like curd, buttermilk, rice.
Take plenty of water as well.
Ok and take care.
