What Causes Chronic Diarrhea, Loss Of Appetite And Blood In Urine?
Last night I started feeling sick to my stomach and had a dull ache in my lower left abdomen area (I have this ache occasionally). When I woke up this morning I had really bad diarrhea. Loss of appetite and still feeling a little queasy. This afternoon I started having blood in my urine, still feel queasy (diarrhea has stopped) and no appetite at all.

Hi,
Chronic diarrhea can be caused by a bacterial infection, Lactose intolerance, colon cancer, bowels obstruction or inflammatory bowels disease.
I kindly would like to ask you some questions like:
1)do you have blood in stools? or 2)do you have fever?
3)do you have some times diarrhoea and others constipation?
4) if you have done investigations like blood work, biochemical tests, stool tests and colonoscopy then please upload those to me.
If I were your treating doctor I would recommend you to run a further test if they had not been done previously.
1) repeat examination of stool for ova/parasites
2) culture of stool
You will require antibiotics (quinolones or cephalosporins or antiprotozoals etc.) with antiemetic, antispasmodics and antiinflammatories with prebiotics and probiotics.
There will be a need for fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. So, take plenty of water with electrolytes and fruit juices.
You must consult a physician for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
