What Causes Bouts Of Extreme Vomiting And Diarrhea?

My husband has had three bouts of extreme vomiting and diarhrea in the past couple of weeks. The first two times, he thought he had food poisining, but it s happening again. He has celiac but he says this doesn t feel like gluten poisining. He also is diabetic. The first time he fainted in the middle of the night. Last time, he started on Gatorade right away and didn t faint. What s going on?

Hello,

Probably he may be suffering from acute gastroenteritis with electrolyte imbalance or acute dysentery with hypotension.

Other possibilities like food Intolerance or irritable bowel syndrome or diabetic diarrhoea.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Ofloxacin Ornidazole twice a day for five days. Use tablet Sporulac twice a day for five days.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
