Suggest Treatment For Chronic Diarrhea , Stomach Pain And Headache
Daughter is 22 years old and complaining her stomach hurts every time she eats. This has been going on for months. She gets headaches here and there too, but never used to. She also has frequent diarrhea. She never had these symptoms before this summer. She does not have a history of eating disorders. She isn t pregnant, nor was ever lactose intolerant or gluten intolerant. I am trying to get her to see a doctor, but does not seem to be willing to go. All appointments are a month out, and the walk in clinics she says the wait is too long. We sort of possibilities could these symptoms be a sign of of? Concerned Mom

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of chronic diarrhea, stomach pain and headache. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gastroenteritis , food poisoning , irritable bowel syndrome , lactose intolerance or intestinal ileus. Need not to worry. You should eat light and non spicy. You should take plenty of fluids. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order stool test , ultrasound , endoscopy along with that take history. Doctor may prescribe laxative , ornidazole or albendazole along with ranitidine. You should avoid food like seafood and nuts and take antacid after every meal and keep your head elevated while lying down.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
