Common Questions and Answers about Etiology of acute gastroenteritis patients
gastroenteritis
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.
I spent 4 days in the hospital with electrolytes out of balance due to dehydration from uncontrollable diahrrea and vomiting; diagnosed as Acute Gastroenteritis. A year ago I began having intermittent bouts of vomiting bile every few months. Have been on all PPI's and Acid Reflux controlled pretty well but still have vomiting episodes. What's your recommendation? This leaves me wiped out for a couple of days with tenderness in stomach and right abdomen.
I have been diagnosed with both of these syndroms. Does it seem as though these two conditions are commonly found together?
MRI of Brain
Ventriculomegaly, somewhat out of proportion to the amount of atrophy present. The radiologist did question if there were symptoms to suggest normal pressure hydrocephalus. Small vessel ischemic disease. No acute infarcts.
a. The neurologist performed a lumbar puncture to remove some of the spinal fluid that he thought may explain his headaches....but not his dizziness. Because my husbands headaches returned after 5 - 6 hours.....
Assuming the symptoms are acute, this is likely to be a case of viral gastroenteritis. You could try taking plenty of fluids to keep yourself adequately hydrated and some OTC anti spasmodics for the pain. If the pain is severe, of you have dizziness or blood in stools or the diarrhoea does not seem to get better in 4-5 days, it is advised to see a primary care physician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this helps.

The bowel problems of diarrhea and nausea after eating may be due to GERD(gastro esophageal reflux disease), acute non-GI infections (pyelonephritis, pneumonia),gastroenteritis,liver diseases, pancreatic disorder,peptic disease of upper GI tract,gastric carcinoma,CNS diseases like infections, tumors, multiple sclerosis and metabolic disturbances like diabetes and adrenal insufficiency.
I sincerely advise you to consult a physician/gastroenterologist and discuss these with him.
the amount of blood or bodily fluid that is transferred from the source patient to the exposured person; the viral load of the source patient; the nature of the exposure (needlestick, laceration, mucous membrane, etc).
What specific questions do you have?

If you had protected sex, chances of HIV are less. However, if condoms were used, then they can leak or burst. Yes, acute HIV infection can start within three days. However, shooting pain and diarrhea can be due to viral or bacterial gastroenteritis or stomach flu as well. I suggest, you get stool examined for infection.
Initially his pain subsided for 2 months but became very acute post that. We consulted third doctor and he asked us to do Ultra sound. Ultra sound test suggested MRI to rule out marrow oedema.MRI Impression is "Diffuse marrow signal alterations in the calcaneum bone with ill-defined areas of bony erosions & marrow oedema -possibly ?Infective etiology(Tuberculosis to be ruled out). Small Osteochondral erosion in the medica aspect of talar dome.
ve seen, unless the symptoms have just gone undetected for a period of time and they progress (from bulbar to limbs or vice versa) you do not all of a sudden present with extreme bulbar and multi-limb symptoms. Post-viral is REAL and can cause all of these symptoms and more with an acute onset impacting multiple body systems. Are you having any other symptoms? My understanding of post-viral is that it can take months or even years to recover.
This classic pattern of migratory pain is the most reliable symptom of acute appendicitis. Vomiting may then occur, in contrast to the repeated bouts of vomiting that typically accompany viral gastroenteritis or small bowel obstruction. Fever then usually occurs, followed by the development of an elevated white blood cell count. Of course not all patients present this way. For example, not all patients lose their appetite.
It could also be food intolerance, both food allergy and food intolerance can cause symptoms of nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain. The difference being in food allergy the IgE antibodies are increased. If symptoms are acute it can even be due to an infection, gastroenteritis. So, if your symptoms persist consult your doctor for an evaluation.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
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.

I was hospitalized a few years ago with severe vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and dehydration. I was diagnosed with gastroenteritis and acute pancreatitis. This is the only major GI problem I have ever had. I am very slender, 105 pounds, so I was wondering if maybe it was normal to feel a lump during digestion just because I am skinny and it's easy to feel my anatomy, or if I should be more concerned. Thanks!
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?
