What Causes Nausea And Diarrhea Every Few Months?

I vomited for one whole day and have had diarrhea for the last four days. Can't seem to want anything to eat. A sharp pain occasionally in my lower right side. The vomiting and diarrhea occurs about every 3 or 4 months but has never lasted this long. I am female, 70 years old.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have nausea and diarrhea every few months. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like use or misuse of drugs like laxatives , antacids or antibiotics , nflammatory bowel disease or stress . Low immunity can also be one of the reason . I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order stool test , endoscopy , ultrasound and take history . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like ornidazole along with muscle relaxant , omerazole along with anti inflammatory . For now change your dietary habits , eat light and non spicy eat more fibrous food .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
