What Causes Diarrhea Along With Vomiting And Fever?

Hello, I have had diarrhea (along with stomach cramping), vomiting, aches, fever and chills since Wednesday. I was sent home from work around noon that day and was in bed all day Thursday and Friday. The vomiting seemed to stop by Thursday night/Friday morning. I had to work on Saturday and I seemed to be feeling a little better, although I was still having diarrhea and stomach cramping. Then today (Sunday) I started feeling worse again...more chills, fever, etc. I only ate soup on Thurs. and Friday and a little bit of regular noodles and gravy Saturday. I keep drinking gatorade, sprite or water but I am constantly thirsty. I can t keep missing work but I am not sure what is causing this.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Gastroenteritis can be caused by various oragnisms such as:

1. Staphylococcus aureus
2. Bacillus cereus
3. Giardiasis
4. Ameobiasis
5. Campylobacter juejuni
6. Shigella
7. Salmonella
8. E coli

Your history suggests that it is acute diarrohea associated with food. So, most probably it is staphylocoocus or bacillus food poisoning.

So my advice is to go to your general physician and have your stool and blood tests done so that he can start appropriate measures.

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

Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Adnan Iqbal
