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.
I am really concerned about myself. I have been sick from my stomach since the first week of august. My wife came back from out of town and brought me cooked tripe from the valley. I ate it for a few days and then a week later I became ill. I got a fever of 101 and a bad stomach bug. My kids then contracted the bug and so did my wife but none as strong as me and all without fever. They have all gotten better for the most part. Two of them still have a little diarrhea, but nothing else. I on the other hand have a constant stomach ache every time I eat. I feel full all day. Then when I eat a little my stomach starts to rumble and ache. I have lots of gas and am really concerned at this point. I have looked up possible causes and I can only come up with two Salmonella and tape worms. The tape worms, I have glanced at my stool and I didn t notice anything strange. I just don t know about the Salmonella. Can anyone help? I am trying to aviod a doctor visit for lack of ins and that will be another 100.00 plus.

Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea And Stomach Pain
Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to salmonella. I recommend drinking a lot of water and other fluids. You should drink a rehydration liquid, like Pedialyte. Prescribed antibiotics may be needed such as high-dose ceftriaxone. You should consult a doctor for the prescription. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
