Is Chronic Diarrhea And Abdominal Cramps Due To Food Poisoning?

My husband and I recently returned from a week in Arizona for a wedding. On the flight home I experienced stomach cramps, belching, and a headache. This came back again 2 days later. My husband got very sick the night that we got home from the trip this week and had severe vomiting that occurred in 3 different episodes about 4 hours apart. He was sick again 2 nights later only this time it was severe diarrhea. Could it be food poisoning? He still cannot eat food, only Gatorade. Thank you.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI.

I am glad you reached out to HCM.

Many people notice food poisoning when one is eating outside or eating food that may not be hygienic.

Here are a few things that can help with food poisoning-
1. Drinking cold water or cold milk
2. Drinking lots of water
3. Using oral rehydration solution
4. Taking a BRAT diet that can help calm the stomach. BRAT stands for bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast
5. Getting good amount of rest.

Seeing a doctor in case the symptoms persist would be a good idea.

I hope this helps. All the best.
