What Causes Chronic Diarrhea And Mild Abdominal Pain?

Hi Doctor, Have had a couple days with loose stools, not solid. One lasted a whole day and night last week and then again started up on Thursdays of this week. Very low pain in the lower intestines, colon and cramping. No other problems, just can't keep any food in my stomach. I do have a gluten problem, but did not eat anything with glute. Is there anyway to stop this.Kathleen

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms seems to be that of recurring acute diarrhea and is commonly due to Stomach infection or Gastroenteritis..
I would suggest you to first of all start taking Fluid Replacement Therapy by drinking ample of water with dissolved Oral dehydration salts in it to compensate for fluid loss and avoid dehydration..
You can take anti diarrhea Medication like Loperamide or Furozolidone..
Take foods like banana, rice with curd, cereals and low fat foods..
In case if the symptoms does not improve or you get recurring episodes of same problem consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like Colonoscopy, blood tests etc to rule out the exact cause of symptoms and conditions like Irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease,lactose intolerance,thyroid disorders etc can be checked for..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
