Gastroenteritis and dysentery

Common Questions and Answers about Gastroenteritis and dysentery

gastroenteritis

Avatar n tn It is an infection of the digestive system that results in severe diarrhea containing mucus and blood in the feces. Dysentery is typically the result of unsanitary water containing micro-organisms which damage the intestinal lining. There are two major types of dysentery: Amoebic (is caused by the amoeba Entamoeba histolytica.) and bacillary (Shigellosis, Campylobacteriosis, Salmonellosis). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysentery Diagnosis can be confirmed by stool examination and culture.
Avatar n tn It's more likely that you had the Hashimoto's before you got the dysentery and just didn't know it. The dysentery wouldn't "cause" an autoimmune, but it might trigger one that's already present.
Avatar n tn I went up there and took her to the doctor and she was basically told is was a stomach virus (gastroenteritis) drink plenty of fluids and it should go away in a couple of days but when I look up Gastroenteritis it says that it's common in people with weaken immune system caused by HIV. She took her 3 month birth control shot the morning before but I'm sure that didn't cause Gastroenteritis. My question is should I be concerned about HIV at this point.
Avatar n tn My daughter is 14 months old and she has has watery diarrhea and vomitting. When she was born she was perfectly healthy, but once I had to return to work I began to give her formula and that's when she began to have these complications. She began to have watery diarrhea and vomit. I took her to the doctor and they said she had gastroenteritis, but it's been a while now and she is still the same? Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong? Thank you.
Avatar n tn Hello! I seem to have unfortunately caught gastroenteritis. I was given Ondansentron and it helped immensely. However, I can't sleep. I'm so wired and my stomach still hurts but luckily, no side effects. Is this normal? Is it the gastroenteritis or the drug?
Avatar f tn (The hollow right under your ribs, in your upper stomach) Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, malaise and general aches and pains. For most people symptoms subside within 1-3 days but you're contagious much longer. You can still pass the virus through your stool for 2 weeks or so and it can survive on surfaces for a long time too. Just take it easy, eat bland foods and rest a lot.
Avatar f tn In all probability you either have hemorrhoids, drug reaction or dysentery. Get stool tested and consult a doctor immediately. Take an OTC lactobacillus preparation and yoghurt with your meals. Drink plenty of fluids. Eat light, do not stay hungry but eat simple things like toast, porridge, cereals, crackers etc. Take ORS. Take over the counter antacid and antiemetic (this SOS for vomiting). Take care!
Avatar f tn Every day since I went to the hospital to get checked out I was found out with gastroenteritis and 1 week later taking pills it went away. Now ever since then I've been going to the bathroom and what I've. Noticed is that my poop is yellow and floats. I think I may have malabsorption but I'm not to sure. I'd go to the doctor but my parents wouldn't wanna take me as I had gone to the doctor 4 weeks ago. I'm 14 and I'm overweight for my age. I'm 210 Pounds.
Avatar m tn I am unable to get rid of dysentery permanently.every alternate day i have gas loose motion and mucous secretion. i dont have any fever weakness ,weight loss and stomach pain.
Avatar f tn Viral gastroenteritis symptoms may appear 1-3 days after you are infected and can range from mild to severe. Symptoms usually last just a day or two, but occasionally they may persist as long as 10 days. Because the symptoms are similar, it is easy to confuse diarrhea caused by viruses with diarrhea caused by bacteria (e.g., Clostridium difficile, salmonella, and E. coli) or parasites (e.g., giardia). If your symptoms persist, see your doctor for further workup and management.
Avatar n tn Offlate (period of 1 month) I have a feeling that my stomach is always full/ bloated up just after eating a very brief Indian meal (roti-1, rice- a small bowl, lentil, chicken curry), and often I dont get any urge for eating another meal in due course. About 4 weeks earlier I had a dysentery and was under antibiotics care (course ended 3 weeks earlier). The problem surfaced after that majorly, but was experiencing the same even before the disease.
Avatar f tn I went to the doc after 5 days. He said its just viral gastroenteritis. I looked up the condition and it says you have vomiting and/or diarrhea, but i have neither. I am worried it is appendicitis, but the appendix is on the right side, not left. I am really in pain but i am taking my meds as described. Does this sound like viral gastroenteritis to you? I am in such severe pain just laying here typing this and barely moving.. Please help. Thank you.
1788584 tn?1315106518 Secondly Acid reflux gives you very bad stomach ache and usually lasts for a short time and you can possible be sick with it but feel much better straight away without diarroe and sickness ectr. I no this as i suffer from acid reflux myself. The term Gastroenteritis springs to mind as you say you have been sick and been havin toilet issues. This usually clears up within a few days and its like havin a flu virus or stomach bug.

1872406 tn?1320890391 We rescued a little kitten approx 6 weeks old who has been diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis. The prognosis by the vet is poor and I'm wondering if there is anything else we can do other than keep her hydrated and treat/prevent secondary infections. Please help- really appreciate any advice or past experience that you may have... Thanks in advance...
Avatar m tn The symptoms have gradually improved, with diet and particularly after a laparoscopy, where they removed a lot of the endo and adhesions. I immediately regained 3 kgs. The surgeon was puzzled and sent me to a gastroenterologist. This doctor discovered from a colonoscopy and biopsy, inflammation in the small intestine and a possible old bacterial infection. The gastro said it can take years to recover from a bacterial infection. My question is how accurate is this?

Avatar f tn I am 68 and am trying to lose some weight by walling and some jogging. I have noticed some blood in my stools lately afterward I was diagnosed with crohns in the 70's and had 18" of small intestine removed. Do you blood is from too strenuous exercise?
Avatar m tn my husband has diaherria,chest pains, headache's,sweats and lost of appatite. could u possable know what it could be ?
Avatar m tn Hello, doctors. I'm a young, sexually active gay male. From time to time I meet a man from the Internet and engage in safer sex practices like fellatio (mostly with me performing it) and mutual masturbation. I never engage in anal sex with these men, and I always, always ask about HIV status. My last test was two months ago and the result was negative. So, normally, I'm not very worried about HIV. However, I have a concern that I hope you can address.
Avatar m tn Hi, I am 25 now ,Male..Weight 48 KG,hight 5.6 (Too low I know but no change in 10 years I guess) (I don't smoke & don't take alcohol) I have been suffering from quite a long time now, almost 8 to 9 years. At first I used to had sudden dysentery of only once in a week & used to have some mucus with that but after only one time It would get better for another 10 to 15 days. I used to suffer mild Rheumatic fever.
Avatar n tn The past few days I have had some white, stringy stuff at the end of my feces. It's not a lot, and it's not all over, just at the very tip. And it seems to be very slippery and looks like ejaculation *** (I'm a straight male, so you can rule out what you're thinking). I don't have any other symptoms and it's freaking me out!!! I can't stop thinking about it every day. Any thoughts or concerns?? Please share!
Avatar n tn I did read that gingers, like green onion, garlic, Sichuan pepper, pepper and chili, are considered hot ingredients and harmful to people with diseases hot in nature, of which hepatitis is one. Other "hot" diseases include common cold, dysentery, psychosis, diabetes, cancer, nephritis, rheumatism, wintercough, high blood pressure, etc. As for vitamins, they need to come from vegetables/fruits, not from labs.
