Suggest Treatment For Frequent Bowel Movements

Hi, My friend was just dumped by her longtime boyfriend and she hasn t been able to eat anything other than a bowl of soup over the past 7 days now. She had been puking so much and on Monday she was puking up nothing but foam and there was a bit of blood in there but that went away. She has been drinking water and had a Gatorade and that bowl of soup. Tonight she had a couple of tacos and has kept those in her stomach. She said yesterday she started pooping a lot and frequently. What should she do? I am really worried about her.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent bowel movements. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like irritable bowel syndrome , gastroenteritis, lactose intolerance, medication reaction or side-effect, food poisoning or viral gastroenteritis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid eating heavy and spicy , eat small and frequent meals, eat 1-2 banana in a day and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. You should take plenty of fluids in diet. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain tests like endoscopy and stool test and take history . Doctor may prescribe loperamide , ornidazole along with anti inflammatory .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
