What Causes Nausea Along With Diarrhea?

I have been having bouts of nausea with; upset stomach; a lot of intestinal noise; gas; and Diarrhea. This can last from an hour or 2 days, and be mild or make it difficult to do anything. What I eat before or during this doesn t seem to make any difference. I have tried Tums and baking soda with very little affect. Any advice?

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

Bouts of nausea,gurgling noise from abdomen with diarrhea can be due to acute gastroentritis/infected appendicitis.

Acute gastroentritis which can be most likely cause, is due ingestion of infected food or water.

If these symptoms have been present for more than 1 month,it can be due to irritable bowel syndrome/hyperthyroidism.Its diagnosis needs to be done by blood thyroid test and proper medical history(possibility as you have not mentioned duration of symptoms) .

If I were your treating doctor ,I recommend,
-Intake of Oral rehydration solution after every diarrheal episode and as per thirst.
-Domperidone tab twice a day as antiemetic.
-Oral Probiotics like curd for normal intestinal flora.
-Take soft,semisolid and freshly prepared food.
-Follow food safety measures while cooking,handling and eating of food.
-If there is fever,mucous /blood in stools or if diarrhea donot stop in 2 days,visit to physician.
oral antibiotics like ofloxacin-ornidazole twice a day for 3 days will be necessary.
Worsening abdominal pain may also demand visit to ER and doing investigations like USG abdo to rule out other abdominal pathology.

Hope this information helps.
Wish you speedy recovery.
