What Causes Chronic Diarrhoea And Vomiting?

I have had diahrea and vomiting since 6:45a.m. It is now almost 2:30p.m. I have usually under control diverticulitis, acid reflux, miscellaneous gastro problems. The diahrea is to the stage where I am vomiting and defecating simultaneously. I guess my question is: Should I wait a while more before going to the ER?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chronic diarrhoea and vomiting. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like bacterial or viral infection, food intolerance , food allergy , parasitic infection or inflammatory bowel disease.

Need not to worry. You should take plenty of fluids to re-hydrate. Take diet rich in multivitamins and avoid any oily sharp and fast food. Take diet rich in fibres as well. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe you medications such as proton pump inhibitors along with antacids such as ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with loperamide . For now eat light and non spicy , eat fresh fruits and vegetables and eat fruits like banana .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
