Hi,
I noted the history of having intense pain in stomach, radiates through back, comes on quickly lasts only for few seconds, to get subsided. Also have lots of
diarrhea not allowing to see the GP an hour away, also noted other findings. As per the history you have provided, this looks to be
stomach flu associated with some nerve root affection like may be developing
Herpes Zoster or
nerve root compression since such a pain as you have described is not seen in cases of diarrhea. it is usually a twisting pain.
I would advise you the following:
- Take
Imodium stat and after every motion - maximum 6 capsules in 24 hours so that the diarrhea will stop and you will be in a position to attend the doctor.
Send the samples of stool and blood to get the reports as early as possible so that further management can be started soon. This can be in the form of an antibiotic active against intestinal infection, PPI like
Omeprazole, activated
charcoal, probiotics, and painkillers as you have pain too. Clinical evaluation and examination to decide the cause of pains and diarrhea and add on proper management like rehydration, electrolyte supplements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
