Suggest Treatment For Food Poisoning And Blood In Stool
I had a disagreement with food I ate last night. Made mac n cheese at 9:30. At 2 am I was up with stomach/intestinal pain. I don t think it was food poisoning. I believe it was too rich. Was in bathroom from 2 am to 4 am and then a few more times. Late this morning I noticed blood in stool. Really? I had no idea this was going to cost me money.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Your symptoms of stomach pain with increased frequency of stool could be due to food poisoning itself here.
Now,Food poisoning is nothing but acute gastroenteritis due to toxins of contaminated food from infections like bacteria, virus,parasite etc.
Symptoms usually starts after 12 to 24 hours of eating,like vomiting,abdominal pain,loose motions,fever,weakness,fatigue, headache,abdominal cramps due to water and electrolyte imbalance if you will have watery stools plenty of times a day.
As per your symptoms, you have this gastroenteritis and will require antibiotics (norfloxacin with tinnidazole), antispasmodics (cylopam), antiemetics,probiotics and other supportive treatment as per your symptoms.
Blood in stool could be occasional findings but if it persists longer then it would be advisable to go for routine blood works,urine and stool examination.
So,better to consult nearby physician for proper treatment.
Regards,
