Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea And Lower Back Ache

Hi, i am a male, 33yrs old, I would say i am relatively in good shape. All day yesterday i had diarrhea symptoms when going toilet, and stomach pain intermittently towards the evening. This morning i woke up with a lower back ache, stomach pain and still having diarrhea problems when going to the toilet. My body is aching and when i tried to go to the shop i felt very light headed. Can you help?

Hi
You are suffering from severe gastroenteritis.It is an intestinal infection marked by diarrhoea, cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever.Bacterial gastroenteritis happens when bacteria causes an infection in your gut. This causes inflammation in your stomach and intestines.
Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration–You need to drink more than usual to replace the fluids lost from vomiting and diarrhoea.
Take Cyclopam for spasmodic pain.
Take paracetamol for any fever or aches and pains.
Start taking probiotics for few days.Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system.
Take lots of fibre rich food like oat ,barley,wheat etc.Atleast 30grams of fibres should be taken every day.
Strict no to fatty and junk food.
Eat a lot of fresh vegetable and fruits especially those rich in fibres like Oranges,Pears and Kiwi.
Tablet pantoprazole 40 mg can be taken for symptomatic relief in bloating.
Avoid dairy products.
As the destroyed gut flora will replenish things will be normal.
