What Causes Abdominal Bloating, Nausea, Stomach Cramps And Intermittent Diarrhea?

I m trying to discern if I hv gastritis. I hv been experiencing bloating and diarrhea like stool off and on for 2 years now. But 2 days ago, I woke up about 3am with nausea and stomach cramps. I ended up throwing up water and having diarrhea till I was taken to a clinic with drips. They suspected food poisoning because there was bacteria in my blood but also asked if I had gastritis. For your awareness, I had suffered from bulimia for close to 20 years and feel like that caused a lot of complications for my stomach. I would like to know if bulimia could also be the reason for the eroded stomach lining that leads to chronic gastritis? Thank you

Hii
Welcome to HCM and Thanks for asking your Query here

Obviously untreated long term Bulimia can damage stomach and intestinal linings which may results in chronic gastritis

However your current symptoms are most likely related to Food poisoning and you should keep the treatment continue for that

If you are still currently suffering from bulimia it should be treated as well

I would strongly suggest you to consult with your Gastroenterologist for this to get it further evaluated

I hope it helps
Thanks ans get well soon
