What Causes Diarrhoea And Intermittent Stomach Pain?
I developed acute diarrhea & intermittent stomach pain last Wednesday, as well as general aching. I thought it was possible food poisoning. It got significantly better over the following days, but returned yesterday acutely. I am eating the BRAT diet. I am currently in Spain hiking the Camino de Santiago. I was unable to hike today. Thoughts?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of diarrhea and intermittent stomach pain which can occur due to many reasons and it is extremely important to find out the exact cause. It could be due to electrolyte imbalance, H. pylori infection, and due to food intolerance. Need not to worry. Avoid intake of outside and hot and spicy foods. Take diet rich in probiotics. I would advise you to consult general physician once and get complete examination done like complete blood count, stool examination, ultrasound scan of abdomen, colonoscopy & contrast studies. Avoid intake of sharp spicy and oily food. You should start treatment after complete examination. Doctor may prescribe you traditional drugs like lactulose, milk of magnesia and cremaffin or bisacodyl tablets. Drink one spoon of honey in warm water daily.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
