What Could Explain Abdominal Pain And Frequent Bowel Movement?

Hi I have been having abdominal pain, for about a week now. I also have been having frequent bowel movement, many times thru out the day and night. It is usually of the the liquid nature with very few solids mixed in. I quite often here rumbling noises from my abdomen. No vomiting involved and no blood in the stool. Any ideas? Thanks Chris.

Hi Chris.
Abdominal pain and loose stool without vomiting or blood in stools is suggestive of an intestinal infection called enteritis. The rumbling noises indicate harsh movements of the intestines for removing the infected material.
I would advise you to consult a Doctor TO GET A PRESCRIPTION OF an antibiotic most suitable for such types of infection along with a probiotic .
Take curds and banana and soft diet.
IF there is no response, you may please need few investigations like
Blood- complete blood picture, kidney functions tests, blood sugar fasting and post-lunch, Widal for typhoid and whatever is thought by your treating Doctor.
Urine- routine,microscopy, culture and sensitivity ( before start of antibiotic)
Ultrasonography of abdomen.
The further treatment will be dependent upon the reports.
