Suggest Treatment For Severe Stomach Cramps And Diarrhea

I have been experiencing intense stomach cramping for past 3 days along with diarrhea. It seems it may have been triggered by nuts, but I m not completely sure. I have no known allergies to nuts. I m wondering if I am experiencing IBS or an infection. I am a healthy 53 y.o. female. Should I go to see a gastroenterologist this week to get tested?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe stomach cramps and diarrhea which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis which seems to be due to viral infection and electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not to worry. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should take banana on daily basis and light food. Avoid giving any sharp and spicy food. Visit general physician once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should take Ibuprofen along with proton pump inhibitors as well. You should take antiemetic like domperidone and ranitidine for gastritis. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
