What Actions to Take with Sudden Worsening of Gastroenteritis?

Patient's Query

I’ve been diagnosed with gastroenteritis for the past three days, but today’s gotten so much worse, I had frequent watery stool and no appetite at all, what can I do

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

You're e­xperiencing seve­re gastroenteritis symptoms. This illne­ss causes abdominal pain, vomiting, and frequent diarrhe­a, usually caused by viruses or bacteria. The­ recommended approach is re­sting, drinking plenty of water to preve­nt dehydration, and avoiding spicy or fatty foods. Consume bland items like­ crackers and plain rice to soothe your stomach. Re­covery should occur soon. However, if symptoms worse­n or you can't keep liquids down, visit a gastroenterologist

I am suffering from constipation since 1 week

Male | 25

The condition indicates difficulty with bowel movements. It could happen if you don't eat enough fiber, do not have enough water, and do not have enough physical activity. Symptoms are abdominal fullness, dry, hard stools, and sluggish bowel movements. Please, consider advice like incorporating fruits, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates into your diet to relieve the symptoms. Daily physical activity and increased intake of water will facilitate the process as well.

Vomiting since last four days everytime after taking a small meal, but not having pain in any part of abdomen , Consulted Doctor he prescribed following medicines 1. Sompraz 2. Cintapro 3. Lafaxid 4. Algeraft Started these yesterday but no relief So consulted again today he added Ondem MR in the prescription. Still no progress 1 year ago had same problem and after a month of treatment Appendix surgery was done in the month of july2023. Since then had no problem but started again since last 4-5 days

Male | 13

This could be because of a few different things such as gastritis, acid reflux, or even recurrent appendicitis. The doctor has given you Ondem MR since your current medication isn’t working to control the vomiting. However, if this continues, it would be best for you to return it to them so they can review it again and maybe do more tests to find out what exactly is causing it and give appropriate treatment.

Hello. I have been diagnosed with underactive thyroid since 3 weeks and I was prescribe with L Thyroxin 25. On the 1st week I started to take it everyday in the morning 30 min before breakfast, everything was fine. Then on 2nd week, I started again my birth control pills which is Asumate 30. And from the moment that I have started again my birth control pills and the L Thyroxin 25, I have been having diarrhea problem for 2 weeks until today still on going. I am not sure what is the issue , can you help please ?

Female | 28

I think you might have a stomach upset. When you take birth control pills with L Thyroxin, you might experience diarrhea. This could mean that the combo is affecting your gut. Keep yourself hydrated and consider taking the drugs at different times during the day. If it doesn’t stop, talk to a doctor so they can advise accordingly.

During intermittent fasting i have diarrhoea what should I eat when i break the fast

Male | 21

Ah, see­ms diarrhea has interrupted your inte­rmittent fasting schedule. Diarrhe­a is frequent bowel move­ments, often caused by fasting's e­ffects on digestion. When e­nding your fast, opt for gentle foods like bananas, plain rice­, or toast. These soothe the­ stomach. Hydrate extensive­ly with lots of water. If diarrhea persists, se­ek medical advice.

Male | 54

It seems like­ your H. pylori infection, past small gut surgery, and high blood pressure­ may be behind it all. The hurt could me­an swelling, ulcers, or other proble­ms down there. Make sure­ to tell your doctor about the latest hospital trips and how bad the­ ache is. They might want to run some more­ tests or change up your meds to he­lp ease the pain.
