Suggest Treatment For Food Poisoning, Nausea And Abdominal Bloating

default
Posted on Fri, 22 Jan 2016
Question: Hi, I was in Barcelona recently on vacation and got food poisoning. About 3 days ago, I ate some seafood Paella at a restaurant in Barcelona and soon after I felt some nausea and bloating. I went back to the hotel and had to vomit a few hours later. I felt better the next morning, although my stomach was still a little sensitive, but I thought the worst was over. Unfortunately, 3 days later, it seems that I still haven't gotten rid of it. I still cannot tolerate much more than a small snack and a full sized meal (though not huge) will cause a lot of pain, bloating, nausea, and upset stomach. I also woke up this morning with a crampy stomach that lasted about an hour before it went away by itself. There are no additional symptoms and I am able to go about my day normally until another episode is triggered by food. There may be a bit of weakness and fatigue but not too noticeable most of the time.

Thanks in advance, and I appreciate any advice you may have.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM..
I have gone through your query.

Presently I would suggest you to take more of Citrus fruits.Citrus fruits will help you in correction of indigestion.

Avoid spicy food, alcohol, smoking and meat for few days. Eat food rich in fibers. Curd will be beneficial. You can take probiotic like ecobion or sporolac which will also be helpful. Eat frequent small meals instead of heavy meals. Drink plenty of water.

Take capsule Omeprazole 20 mg once daily on empty stomach, before breakfast for week. With this measures you should be fine.

This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
