Common Questions and Answers about Gastroenteritis and ginger

gastroenteritis

Avatar n tn I know that I keep tums close by when sick like this too. Time tested favorite for vomiting and nausea is ginger ale or 7 up. If it continues or you do become dehydrated, you'll have to bite the bullet and see a doctor. Urgent cares sometimes work on a sliding fee for those who don't have insurance who have to pay cash. But likely, you just need to let it pass as a doctor can't do much for a virus.
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 m tn They prescribed me with an antibiotic (for gastroenteritis) and metoclopramide, as well as something for diarrhea (which I didn't have). I filled out the prescription for the metoclopramide, but I was kind of wary about the antibiotic, because they didn't tell me if they even found anything viral or bacterial, they just said that it "seems like gastroenteritis".
Avatar f tn I use Ginger Root for my nasuea, which I have constantly from gastroenteritis and bleeding ulcers. I have been given Zofran and other prescription nasuea meds, but found Ginger Root to work better for me. You do need to find something! The protein powder that toothfaire mentioned is great. I use Muscle Milk ( which is actually lactose free) It has loads of protein and vitamin and minerals. It helps immensely.
751422 tn?1265510035 still very weak and drinking ensure, water and ginger ale (not at the same time and going to bed earlier. any things I can do to stop that?
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 f tn I drank lots of water but it literally made my stomach hurt. Ginger and all that stuff didn't work for me and I'm a holistic person that's usually what I would do. By desperation I tried sipping regular Pepsi, I never drank soda when I wasn't pregnant it made me sick usually, but it worked and helped my sickness a bit. I'm in my second trimester and its subsided ALOT. The morning sickness lasted the entire time with my last pregnancy.
Avatar n tn no, the ginger used in the study was applied in vitro (in 'test tubes' essentially) and not in vivo (in a person or living being), so the science is not sure if it will actually work. In-fact, many things tested in vitro have profound effects on ovarian cancer, but when used in vivo it doesn't always pan out. regarding the absorption to the tumors, it's unlikely.
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 My dog is a 10 year old Jack Russell Terrier who spits up after eating. He has had one epidose of Gastroenteritis about two years ago. He was treated with pills and hasn't had another episode since. He is on Senior "Nature's recipe" dogfood for digestive health but is still spitting up.
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 f tn If you are having vomiting and diarrhea, it is most likely a stomach bug, or gastroenteritis. The biggest worry is dehydration. Try to stay hydrated, drink lots of fluid and get lots of rest. If you are unable to keep anything down, they may have you be seen for I'VE fluids. I'm in WI too so I hear you on the snow storm! Avoid heavy foods, stick to clear liquids like broth and bland foods like toast or rice. And plenty of water!!!
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 n tn you have protected sex=no risk for hiv and your doctor told you that it is gastroenteritis so go and continue safe sex.
Avatar f tn My doctor diagnosed me with gastroenteritis and told me I could not have solid foods. What can I eat?
