Question: I have had diarreah all morning and get hunger pains 1 and 1//2 hours after eating. Will taking nexium and/or probiotice help. This started after something I ate last night. No fever. No nausea.
Brief Answer:
Probiotic will help you.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The diarrhea that you are having is likely to be due to a mild intestinal infection most commonly a viral infection.
Taking a probiotic will help. Nexium is not needed since there is no gastric acidity or nausea.
Take a healthy, balanced and nutritious diet consisting more of fruits, salads, soups and raw vegetables (after proper washing). Medicines such as loperamide (Imodium) and bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) can help relieve symptoms.
Get your stool examined and if it indicates infection or you are not better in two days, see your doctor for a course of antibiotics.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
