What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain And Diarrhoea?

I developed acute diarrhea & intermittent stomach pain as well as general achiness last Wednesday. I thought it might be possible food poisoning because it developed a few hours after I ate. It resolved significantly over the next few days, but returned yesterday acutely. I am in Spain hiking the Camino De Santiago. I was unable to hike today. Thoughts on cause & action?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe abdominal pain and diarrhoea which could be due to electrolyte imbalance, irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance, H. pylori infection, and due to food intolerance. Need not to worry. I would advise you to consult general physician once and get complete examination done like complete blood count, stool examination, ultrasound scan of abdomen, colonoscopy studies. You should start treatment after complete examination. Doctor may prescribe you traditional drugs like lactulose, milk of magnesia and cremaffin or bisacodyl tablets. Avoid intake of sharp spicy and oily food. Avoid intake of outside and hot and spicy foods. Take diet rich in probiotics. Drink one spoon of honey in warm water daily.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
