What Causes Diarrhea And Abdominal Gas?
I had diarrhea all day last Tuesday and off and on Wednesday. Since then every time I go pee I have some diarrhea. Sometimes it is formed and other times it is an off white grainy consistency. Over the weekend when I wiped it was brown with a gooey, phlem consistency. I have stomach craps and my body makes noises as if I am passing gas but I m not. Please explain what I possibly could have. Thanks

Hi,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of diarrhea and abdominal gas which seems to be due to stomach flu. Well, the symptoms you mention in the query can occur due to many other reasons like electrolyte imbalance, acute gastritis, viral infection or due to food intolerance. Need not to worry.
Avoid intake of outside food. I would suggest you consult gastroenterologist once for proper examination. The doctor will take history and order a blood test. The doctor may prescribe an antiviral drug like acyclovir along with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medications. You should avoid intake of outside food. You should take an oral rehydrating solution as well. For now, do proper rest because rest is important in case of viral infection and apply warm compresses on the body.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
