Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of inflammation and severe lower back pain with diarrhea . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like consuming foods known to cause gas in some people, such as milk products that contain lactose, broccoli , appendicitis , crohn’s disease, gastroenteritis or urinary tract infection. Need not to worry. You should take plenty of fluids and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . I would suggest you to avoid above mentioned foods , eat light and non spicy specially at night , take light walk after every meal , eat small and frequent meals. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order ultrasound , endoscopy along with stool test . Doctor may prescribe laxative , anti inflammatory along with antacids . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgon for lower back pain and disc problem . For now apply warm compresses to lower back .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
