Experienced Symptoms Of Vomiting, Intestinal Pain, Diarrhea. Cure?

I experienced symptoms of vomiting , intestinal pain, diarrhea which began 3 hours after consuming a meal which contained hard boiled eggs and two slices of Colby cheese that had a sweaty covering over the surface. The hard boiled eggs had been prepared differently in that they were not refrigerated after cooking for two days. The sympomology during the vomiting episodes was that the vomiting was consistently violent and I was unable to race to the bathroom quickly enough to accomplish my goal. The near misses were devasting to the porcelain goddess...Having to clean up the resultant mess the following day was an eye opener and reminded me of third world countries.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in...

It is possible that egg/ cheese might have been contaminated which could be the cause of gastroenteritis that you are suffering from.

I would like to have some additional details....

Did the diarrhoea contain blood or mucous.... if yes , then antibiotics might be indicated .

Did the abdominal pain get relieved after a bowel movement....?

Any history of fever/ headache along with the gastro symptoms?

I would advise you to have plenty of fluids to combat dehydration due to vomiting and diarrhoea.

Drugs like Domperidone under the guidance of your treating physician might be helpful to control the vomiting.He/She might also prescribe a course of antibiotics if necessary.

Probiotics like lactobacilli are helpful in maintaining the normal gut flora.

ORS (oral rehydration solution) will help correct the dehydration.

Tender coconut water, Rice gruel, Toast , might be the right kind of food to take in the current situation.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
