What Causes Severe Fatigue With Diarrhea?

default
Posted on Mon, 11 Jul 2016
Question: I have been fatigued for the past 4 days, without much appetite. I was slightly nauseated for the first couple of days. I have recently had green-colored diarrhea. I am not running a fever. I've been drinking a lot of gatorade, and had a sandwich for lunch, that did not upset my stomach.

Brief Answer:
Avoid fat rich food

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
How many episodes of diarrhoea you had?
Is it watery or semisolid?

Based on the information provided by you, I feel there are few possibilities. I'll mention them.
Fat rich diet will increase release of bile pigments and if it moves rapidly, your stool will be green. It occurs during period of stress or infections.

Rarely diet rich in green leafy vegetables can cause green color stools, if malabsorption ensues or due to not chewing properly.
If you have any other symptoms like abdominal pain or diarrhea, other diseases like infections or inflammatory conditions can be thought of, byut you do not have them.

I would advise you to:
Avoid fat rich food.
Chew food properly
Take probiotics - pharmaceutical ( ecobion or sporolac) or even yoghurt should be good.

If any abdominal pain or diarrhea starts, you will require a stool examination to identify the cause.

At present, nothing to worry. Continue with regular diet. You can avoid fatty food for a two to three days. It should help.

Hope this helps
Take care.
