What Causes Severe Stomach Pain,vomiting And Diarrhoea?
My son is 18, and for the past couple of months has been experiencing pain in his stomach, vomiting, and diarrhea. This doesn t happen all the time, but is quite frequent. He also has really bad tasting burps . I have finally convinced him to see the doctor after the last episode as the pain was quite severe. She has ordered blood work and an abdominal ultrasound. Amy thoughts as to what this might be?
Hi, Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here
Both vomiting and Diarrhoea are often self-limiting and have a benign cause and prognosis because your son has not been examined in these two months it is possible that his illness is caused by a Bacterial or viral infection or a type of food poisoning, indigestion or exposure to chemical toxins but because this is a chronic case there are high chances of some other chronic illnesses like food intolerance such as gluten intolerance (celiac disease), and dairy protein and lactose intolerance ,Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) , Crohn’s disease which is an inflammatory bowel disease that commonly affects the intestines
Finally i would appreciate you to bring your son to dr , now ur may go for all necessary medical investigations to rule out any underlying medical condition
I hope it help Thanks & Get well Soon
