What Causes Stomach Pain And Diarrhea Long After Swallowing Chicken Bone?
My husband swallowed a small piece of chicken leg bone (a piece of one of the long skinny slivers attached to the joint) about a month ago. He has been having stomach pains yesterday and today. He has had no nausea or vomiting but his stools are a little looser than normal, but not diarrhea.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of stomach pain and diarrhea long after swallowing chicken bone. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gastroenteritis , food poisoning , irritable bowel syndrome , lactose intolerance or intestinal ileus. It is due to increased susceptibility of body as well. Need not to worry. You should avoid food like seafood and nuts. You should take antacid after every meal and keep your head elevated while lying down. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order stool test , ultrasound , endoscopy along with that take history. Doctor may prescribe laxative , ornidazole or albendazole along with ranitidine. Drink plenty of fluids. You should take proper course of antacid along with proton pump inhibitors. You should eat light and non spicy.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
