Suggest Remedies For Persistent Diarrhea And Lower Abdominal Pain

Before a gymnastics meet, I started going dierhea all night and felt really sick the next day. At the time we thought it was just motion sickness from the car ride down. But now its has been a week and 4 days and my stomach is still hurting. Specifically in the left lower abdomen but it is all over the lower section. It feels like i worked out and just have sore abs but its been so long and hasn t gone away. It hurts more when i arch or stretch. It isn t period cramps and i have a normal period schedule and am not sexually active.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent diarrhea and lower abdominal pain which seems to be due to disturbance of electrolytic balance of body due to excessive production of acid and it could be due to food intolerance, food allergy , bacterial or viral infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with loperamide. You should eat light and non spicy , eat fresh fruits and vegetables and eat fruits like banana. Take oral rehydrating solution as well. You should take small quantity of food and avoid large intake at a single time. You should avoid intake of outside food. Keep your bed with head on higher side.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
