What Causes Diarrhea And Vomiting After Eating Seafood?

I ate out last night and had shellfish. About 3 hours later I became ill with diahrea and throwing up. Also had a strange chemical taste in my mouth Later my tongue was a blue color when I brushed my teeth. The shellfish were mussels, crab stuffed lobster and shrimp. I strongly suspect it was food poisoning,

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of vomiting and loose motions after eating sea food is due to SEA FOOD POISONING..

It commonly occurs due to contamination of the sea animals with toxic chemicals, bacteria, viruses, parasites etc..
It causes when such contaminated sea food is consumed leading to the symptoms like that you are experiencing..
Chemical taste in mouth is due to acid reflux caused due to hyperacidity..
Bruising or blue colour of tongue is due to poisoning..

As of now I would suggest you to take Ondensarton for relieving vomiting and Loperamide for loose motions..
Take proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole for reducing acidity..
Take plenty of fluids and oral rehydration salts..
Do not starve and eat every after 2 to 3 hours and take more of banana, cereals, yoghurt, rice etc..
In case if condition worsen or there is no improvement consult an Emergency care centre and you can be given antibiotics, anti parasitic drugs , intra venous fluids etc depending upon the cause of the symptoms..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
