Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain, Tiredness Fluctuations Between Diarrhea And Constipation
Question: 4 days back i got gas problem in my stomach and on the next day i got pain in my stomach which went away with release of gas and fro that day my stomach is upset with little loose stools and sometimes constipation.This might have happened because i cooked chicken and it was hard when i ate it.I also washed it which i read now is not good to do .My stomach is now comparatively ok but i got tiredness and weakness from 2-3 days.My stools are not that loose but i couldn't clear my stomach.My question is what can be this?What treatment do you prescribe?Is weakness common in this type of things?Also as i am gyming i ate a lot of green uncooked vegetables is it ok?I feel hot but i checked my temperature many times and it is normal.
Brief Answer:
Gut infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You certainly have high chances of gut infection occured or in occurence. It was obvious with stomach upset, release of gas, loose stools. It passed away without too much of acute abdomen however the weakness can bother you for another week or two.
I am against the consumption of uncooked food that too in countries like XXXXXXX where amoebiasis, giardiasis are endemic. I do not prescribe any treatment for now but would watch out for full blown symptoms in next one week or two. As these microbes are known to recur soon if the body does not fight till their corpses fall. Instead I would just ask you to eat cooked food, home food and very hot food with good quality water.
I also advise you to go slow on gym or stopping it for a week till you resume back.

Brief Answer:
Hepatitis A and E types
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You would have vaccinated for hepatitis B which is virulent than A and E types. You can get a lab test for Hepatitis IgM & IgG antibodies against HepA and HepE to check if you actually suffered from Hepatitis.
Hepatitis A and E are self limiting with conservative measures which I already advised earlier. As I said fatigue is part of post hepatitis effect. You can resume gyming only when you feel no malaise and fatigue and your appetite is normal.
Uncooked food is mostly infavour of parasites like amoebiasis and giardiasis than Hepatitis. You can get a stool microscopy test to know if you have parasites.
Hope this helps.
