Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Abdominal Pain Followed By Diarrhea And Vomiting?
It started with abdominal pain on Friday afternoon. By Friday evening, there was explosive diarrhea and vomiting. By around midnight I experienced chills which I associated with a fever. These last two symptoms did not last very long. On Saturday I rested and drank a bit of Gaterade and beef consomme. The vomiting subsided on Saturday afternoon, but the diarrhea persists. At present, I feel weak and have been able to take fluids and light solid foods. Finally, my question. Could this be Listeriosis? I don t drink nor do I use drugs and am, apart from this incident, in good health.
The symptoms seem to be related to an enterovirosis. To check the bacteria or virus that caused the symptoms, I suggest to do a stool test and a complete blood count. Meanwhile, I suggest using daily probiotics such as Enterogermina. I also suggest using electrolyte solution such as Pedialyte. I recommend to eat a plain diet and drink liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
