Suggest Remedies For Persistent Diarrhea, Nausea And Dizziness

I have had consistently explosive diarrhea since 12/21. It is loose, yellow in color, and smells horrible. Upset stomache, nausea, and dizziness accompanying. I have an apt w/ my DR. for this Friday, earliest that I could get in. Any idea what I might have?

Hello!
I have been through your question.
Related to your symptoms I think this is an gastroenteritis.The cause is typically a viral (norovirus, adenovirus ect) or bacterial infection (e.coli, salmonella). But to find the cause of the gastroenteritis you should do a stool sample. Because of diarrhea , you also can become dehydrated. I suggest to watch for signs of dehydration, such as dry skin and a dry mouth, feeling lightheaded, and being really thirsty. So, in your case during this time you should re hydrated with a lot of liquids (water, tea) and tresol as well as take probiotics. Except this you must meet your doctor to do a physical examination, see blood pressure (because of the dizziness), taking detailed medical history, kidney function (azotemi, kreatinin) . Usually for persistent bacterial diarrhea I prescribe oral antibiotics (bactrim, ciprofloxacini) but you should talk with your doctor to take it.
I hope my answer help you.
I wish a quick recovery.
