What Causes Abdominal Periods And Diarrhea?
hello,
I've been experiencing abdominal pain all day, and a case of mild diarrhea. I have the urge to empty my bowels every hour, yet very little comes out. I assumed it was food poisoning, but I have not vomited. I've been running a temperature for the whole day.
When I need to make a bowel movement, I get excessive pain in my lower abdomen, and have to rush to the toilet.
Can you confirm this is viral/food poisoning rather than anything else serious? Thanks!

HI.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The most probable cause of tenesmus - the painfull feeling to visit a toilet is seen in amebiasis with or without secondary infection of the intestines.
Yes this is most likely to be enteritis due to waterborne infection or due to food poisoning as you are suspecting.
Well., the treatment is almost same and contains :
An antibiotic active against intestinal infection, metronidazle, probiotics, antispamodic is the must and also a PPI / Raniditine and symptomatic treatment for 5 days and you will be fine
Take home-made fresh food and avoid all the outside foods and beverages.
Plenty of fluids.
