What Causes Abdominal Pain And Diarrhea?

I started Saturday with abdominal pains that woke me in the morn. Within minutes I had to get to the toilet with 3 different consistencies ending with water diarrhea, felt very cold and pain all over but was profusely sweating, shaking all over, weakness nearly going out (I saw stars and felt I was falling), no vomiting. That was 4 days ago. I finally had another bm and it was my normal yest and norm today. The abdominal pain has cont with today it letting up to a soreness only. This morn I woke with a bad headache but felt my norm til this eve. Getting supper ready the shaky, cold, ache/pain all over hit me again. Am I still sick, is it the flu still, am I contagious still, could it be something else? My son and his family had similar symptoms but they vomit and had fever. Anytime I took my temp I had no fever but my face inside to me felt like a fever when I was hurting all over. Please give me your opinion. I am a RN myself. Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you and your family members are having infection of gastrointestinal tract.
It can be due to eating contaminated food or water.

You can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30mg.
Antibiotic and antiamoebic will help in curing the infection.
A probiotic will have an added beneficial effect.

Eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions. Also maintain your hydration.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
