What Causes Severe Vomiting,diarrhea And Cramping In The Stomach?
Hi, my husband works offshore in africa. We live in Oregon. He has been home for 14 days now and on his flight began vomiting. That has resided but is suffering from severe stomach cramps along with some diarrhea. It s been going on for over a week. Cramping severe enough he cringes and has to lay down. He thought maybe food poisoning. Could it be a parasite?
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com Good day, I suspect that he has gastroenteritis that could be caused by any number of organisms. Cholera and typhoid and travelers diarrhea comes into mind. The parasites should not cause abrupt symptoms but anything is possible. If this does not resolve with in 7 -10 days he may need a check up. Hope this helps good luck.
