What Causes Diarrhea With Stomach And Shoulder Pain?

This all started about 3 weeks ago, I had a sublocation in my shoulder. I went to the doctor and about 2 days later had diarrhea. I thought it was from my lunch, but it continued. About a week later I was rear ended and had pretty bad muscle strain. I saw my doctor and mentiones my stomach issues, and she said it was lactose. However ive been lactose free for a week and still have diarrhea. I see the chiropractor 3 times a week for my back, are the two related? (By diarrhea it is soft stools, with odor, a yellowish color, sometimes just small amounts or fairly thin. Usually lasts for 3 hours with about 2-6 bathroom trips. It is accompained with nausea, lethargy, weakness and a persistanr urge to go whenever I m in a seated position.) What could this be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
All your symptoms are suggestive on gastroenteritis with secondary effects of nausea, lethargy and weakness.
The persistent urge for defecation indicates colitis.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Send the sample of stool for test and if the infection is present your Doctor will definitely prescribe you proper antibiotics, metronidazole and probiotics.
Also needed is symptomatic treatment with proper oral fluids, oral rehydration solution and multivitamins.
This is most probably not related to the back problem or the shoulder problems.
I find this answer helpful
