Avatar f tn I think it might be food poisoning but the other day I had a mcdonalds burger and part of it tasted abit funny, after eating it I needed the toilet straight away and ever since my stomach has been bubbling and gurggling, I also constantly feel sick but I have not been sick, I have bad diarrhoea , I don't seem to have lost my appetite but whenever I eat I straight away need the toilet again, it does feel as if there is something inside my stomach as I can also really badly feel a heart beat w

Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. In the meantime take oral fluids. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn If you are passing stools a lot and have stomach pain then in all probability you have either food poisoning or gastroenteritis. 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). Watch out for a day or two with this treatment.
Avatar f tn So, ya. I definitely see the anxiety coming out in your post. First of all, eggs can cause issues but really in the real world? Don't. I doubt eggs had anything to do with your situation. I have had food poisoning and yea, it's terrible. But you saw a doctor who said no. Yes, you had something but unlikely food poisoning. Could have simple gastroenteritis. Blood in stool looks like coffee grounds.
569711 tn?1216876935 Hi, The stomach pain could be due gastritis, gastroenteritis, and viral infection of the stomach. It could also be food poisoning which can cause stomach pain and vomiting. You may have sprained your neck during sleep. I would suggest you to continue with the heat and ice therapy and take a mild OTC painkiller. For your stomach issues please consult a physician as you need to undergo a physical exam.
1788584 tn?1315106518 On thursday and friday I never threw up and ate a decent amount but the symptoms never totally went away. It is now saturday and I threw up this morning, but since have been able to hold down food, however the numbness did come back but not at it's worse. I'm pretty sure I have acid reflux or gerd on top of that but occurring previously. I forgot to mention diarrhea but it's not severe or another color, but once earlier it was watery, but not since.
Avatar f tn The other possibility is that perhaps you had a touch of food poisoning but with your house having a stomach virus, likely you did as well and while the meds you took (don't take someone else's meds, take only what is prescribed by a doctor for you personally)--- stopped vomiting, it doesn't mean you didn't have the virus and other effects of it. good luck and are you better now?

987762 tn?1671273328 We must be living in a patallel universe right now because about a month ago now I had a bad case of gastroenteritis and that DID put me into a relapse. Jury is still out about whether it was caused by food poisoning or not, but the relapse was a definite occurs ce. The puppet walk you are talk g about us ataxia, right? It is interesting that this is affecting your speech as well. I had an MRI in the hospital and no new lesions were found only an old lesion enhanced.
3166043 tn?1514260018 Its unlikely that the ink tattooing has caused this, its more likely due to the food you consumed from the convenience store. Till you recover avoid foods like milk and milk products, high fat or greasy food, foods that have a lot of fiber like citrus fruits and very sweet foods, such as cakes and sweets. Replacing the lost fluid and salt forms the mainstay of therapy for diarrhea, this is to prevent dehydration.
Avatar n tn I assumed it was food poisoning because that seemed to be what the symptoms were, especially when on sunday i didnt throw up one time and the runs got better for me. But on sunday night when i urinated before bed, i noticed some blood in my urine. This has not occured again since but it concerned me. Also, I have woken up with the night sweats on Sunday and Monday night, and on tuesday morning I had really bad diarrhea again. Any ideas?
Avatar n tn Do you think you have food poisoning or a stomach bug? Unfortunately, with stomach bugs, really there is nothing a doctor can do. It's important to stay hydrated. Drink small sips though. But frequently. Just a couple of sips every 15 minutes. Don't worry about eating. Just stay hydrated. If it's food poisoning, they often don't do anything either but occasionally give an antiemetic which helps stop vomiting. They really use these sparingly though.
Avatar f tn The spasms could be due to gas as this in diabetes there is a slowing down of gut movement, constipation, gas and bloating. It can also be due to food poisoning or gastroenteritis. PCOD is also a cause of cramps and so is pelvic inflammatory disease. IBS, Crohn’s and celiac disease too should be ruled out. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar f tn Hi, Common causes for dizziness with nausea include high blood pressure, vertigo, food poisoning, smoking, depression or anxiety, gastroenteritis etc. Certain drugs like antibiotics, birth control pills etc can cause these symptoms. You should get a check of your pressures with 3 consecutive readings for further conclusion on this. It could even be due to low blood sugars. Hope this helps. Best.
Avatar n tn You probably had a mild case of food poisoning with your system throwing out all the disagreeable stuff from your stomach or it could also be gastroenteritis. 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). Watch out for a day or two with this treatment.
Avatar m tn You could be suffering from viral gastroenteritis or from food poisoning. Eat light, do not stay hungry but eat simple things like toast, porridge, cereals, crackers, banana, rice, peeled apple, etc. Take over the counter antacid and antiemetic (this SOS for vomiting). Watch out for a day or two with this treatment. If still the symptoms persist, then you may need an antibiotic for the gut and would need to see a doctor.
Avatar n tn I guess the theory is that the food poisoning disrupted my intestinal tract, and I got leaky gut syndrome and with that bacterial imbalances, and started absorbing things I shouldn't and not absorbing things that I should. I've taken lots of things over the years that haven't helped, spending thousands on supplements. Tests haven't revealed anything either, except that for a short time I had a citrobacter freundi infection and leaky gut syndrome.
Avatar n tn Hi all, Ill try to keep it short and to the point, but I've had a horrible two months August 10th I fell quite ill. I was at a festival so at first GP assumed food poisoning, my symptoms were diarrhea (which became bloody after a week), vomiting, sweats, weakness and fatigue. My GP did stool samples which showed nothing, but blood tests showed signs of infection so I was given Ciprofloxacin. I couldn't eat at all for 10 days, and I lost 22lbs in just under 2 weeks.
