What Causes Frequent Episodes Of Sickness Throughout The Month?

I have been off and on sick for over a month now with no explanation! I have a theory I could be allergic to shellfish as my great grandma was and my auntie is also allergic to crab so runs in the family. Also everytime I have eaten shellfish this has caused me to be violently sick that night or the following morning then feel not 100% couple of days following this so this would fit right? However I have been eating shellfish for years with no reaction so would this be possible?

Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

Here you could have allergy to shellfish or the shellfish you are eating might be contaminated and lead to food poisoning like symptoms.

You might have chronic gastritis or small ulcer in stomach.That can be aggravated by shellfish.

For the few days try to avoid using outside food and shellfish.

Take omeprazole for few days.

Drink more water.

eat green leafy vegetables more.

fruits taken more for few days.

Avoid excess tea and coffe.

Avoid excess spicy food for few days.

Avoid smoking.

So just now follow above measures for few days as it seems to be gastritis like condition.If you will be fine after few days then you can it shell fish..

If still no improvement then USG done and search for H.pylori infection made.If needed endoscopy can also be done.

Wish you good health...

Take care.
