Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Persistent Diarrhea Along With Stomach Cramps And Tiredness?
I was admitted to the hospital 2 weeks ago with dehydration due to gastroenteritis and leaky gut. Prior to that I’ve had symptoms for a little over 2 weeks. It’s still persisting. And I’m worried it may have lead to something else. I’m still having diharrea and lack of energy as well as stomach cramps. No fever and rarely have the urge to throw up. I’m at a loss and can not afford another $3000 ER visit as I am uninsured
As per my clinical experience, the residual intestine infection is seemingly responsible for persistent diarrhea and stomach cramps.
In my clinic, I recommend a thorough clinical assessment for signs of dehydration as dry mucosa or else and plan the definite management.
Till the time, you can have the best relief with
- more liquids - avoidance of dietary fat, spices, non-veg if consuming - prescription of probiotics with lactobacillus and GI specific antibiotic as metronidazole or rifaxinin as per the GP concern.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
