What Causes Diarrhea And Abdominal Bloating?

Hi. A friend of mine was complaining the last few days about lower abdomen fullness, diarrhea, no appetite, bloated, hard stomach. She can only eat small portion and usually drinks 5 bottles of water a day but the last few days can hardly drink 1 possibly 2.

Hello,

Lower abdominal fullness, diarrhea, loss of appetite, bloating and hard stomach can be due to one of the following reasons:
-Intestinal infection in general or maybe a specific cause like typhoid or so.
-Gastritis or aversion to food, not taking much water also can be due to the basic cause.
Hence I would advise you the following:
-Consult a doctor as soon as possible.
-Clinical evaluation, examination, and investigations of stool, blood, and urine.
-Ultrasonography and x-ray of the abdomen in standing position.
-A course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, and probiotics should help.
-Rest of the treatment as per the cause and reports of investigations.



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

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
