gastroenteritis

3183328 tn?1351183517 Since sunday i've had almost every lactose intolerance symptom except vomiting, I really hope I don't vomit, but I've had diarrhea, gas, and cramps since then. Two days ago I pooped 6 times, yesterday 4, and today so far only once. I haven't been consuming any dairy whatsoever since Tuesday. Do you think I'm just trying to get rid of the extra lactose in my body?
Avatar f tn 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.
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 The causes related to nausea,diarrhea,abdominal pain are food poisoinng,gastroenteritis,stomach flu, lactose intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome etc.Parasitic infestations like amoebiasis and giardiasis will also cause watery stools, abdominal cramps,nausea,fever etc.She should take a light diet and drink plenty of water. See a Paediatrician.A clinical examination and tests like stool examination will help. Do keep me posted. Best luck and regards!
Avatar n tn There has been a recurring stomach bug going around , has she diarreha or fever or is it just vomiting ?Could be Gastroenteritis or Lactose intolerance ..I suspect the former. it may be a good idea to have her checked by the doctor again and speak to him of your concerns .
1448936 tn?1363206346 The test for lactose intolerance is a hydrogen breath test but there is no reason to do that, all you need to do is to eliminate 100% of all lactose from your diet for 2 weeks and if that helps then you have lactose intolerance and if that doesn't help then you don't have lactose intolerace. It is normal to test for parasites.
Avatar m tn Hi, welcome to the forum, vomiting and nausea can be a sign of infection of stomach known as gastroenteritis (often with diarrhea and vomiting), lactose intolerance (difficulty digesting the lactose in milk), indigestion, gas formation, obstruction etc. As you are vomiting you need to maintain water and electrolyte balance. Anti emetic, antibiotics, antispasmodics will help reduce symptoms against prescription.
1099201 tn?1338180918 I just turned 80, and have had some digestive issues, such as nausea, bloating and diarrhea during the last few years, often in connection with my hobby of running ultramarathons, which suggested a late-life onset of lactose intolerance. As an experiment, I started using the chewable lactase supplements (Lactaid, etc.) before meals, and that seems to have taken care of the problem, which seems like prima facie evidence of LI, although I haven't been tested or diagnosed.
Avatar f tn Sorry this is way off of our normal subject, but I was just wondering the signs of lactose intolerance and whether or not you can get this as you get older. I am wondering because I have had abdominal pain for the past about 4 days. And I mean it really hurts. Also my back kind of where my kidneys are. I also get nausea a little and spent this morning vomiting. I went to the doctor and he said I was free of infection, and I am not pregnant so he does not know.
Avatar f tn I never had an issue with dairy till I got pregnant and this is now my third pregnancy and its worse now then its ever been. First it was just milk and ice cream now its other things like cheese. My stomach will hurt and cramp up I get extra saliva in my mouth an my throat starts to feel like I have a lump in it and it causes me to cough. I heard probiotics will help but I'm not gonna try it till after the baby's born.
Avatar f tn as well the tums smoothies ones are much better than the regular tums Ensure or boost type drinks are lactose free and give you about 25% of your daily requirement.. You shouldnt drink more than 1 a day though becasue they are supplemented with vitamin A.... they do make lactose free yogurt, soy cheese etc... as well...
Avatar f tn I have also developed an intolerance to lactose and gluten these past two years. I have eliminated all lactose and gluten from my diet. Lactose intake makes my lymph nodes swell. My question is: Syntroid does contain lactose, and it seems that just that little amount prevents me from stopping the swelling, and feeling better. Could I switch to another thyroid medication? Should I continue on Syntroid, and take some digestive enzymes for lactose at the same time?
Avatar f tn i have lactose intolerance and i am on a diet where i cant eat anything with milk not even if thrs just a little milk in a cookie recipe but lately i have been feeling like throwing up after i take lactaide if i go out i take it i feel like i have the flew but its off and on
Avatar f tn Razzle, you may want to consider checking out whether the 'lactose' issue is really lactose intolerance via testing, or could be casein intolerance which is entirely different. Casein is the major protein in milk and many people think they have lactose intolerance when it's not the case at all. It could be due to casein and that produces a different reaction. Lactose problems result from not having the enzyme to digest lactose.
Avatar f tn Due to improper digestion, white specks may appear in stools. Some people have severe lactose intolerance. They are not able to digest any dairy product that includes milk, cheese, butter etc. These products may appear as white specs in the stool. If his symptoms persist consult his doctor for an evaluation. Regards.
Avatar m tn Hi, 'Signs of a milk allergy that may occur immediately after consuming milk include: * Wheezing * Vomiting * Hives Signs and symptoms that may take more time to develop include: * Loose stools (which may contain blood or mucus) * Diarrhea * Abdominal cramps * Coughing or wheezing * Runny nose * Skin rash It's important to differentiate a true milk allergy from milk protein intolerance or lactose intolerance.

Avatar f tn m pregnant and have a lactose or dairy intolerance. I have to avoid all foods containing lactose etc or I feel sick/constipation/bloated stomach etc. If I continue to avoid these foods throughout my pregnancy can I pass on the intolerance to my baby once it's born? Don't know if I can/should try eating a small amount now and then even if it does make me feel ill?
Avatar m tn Aeromonas hydrophila can cause problems in anyone. Gastroenteritis being one and causes diseases such as myonecrosis and eczema in people with compromised immune systems. You can test 3 months post exposure and your test will be conclusive.
Avatar n tn m not sure, but check out Tyramine Intolerance and Histamine Intolerance, both of which are similar to each other. This should give you a little bit of insight on what the issues in her diet are. Sugars, gluten, lactose, chocolate, caffeine, etcetera are just some of the common food intolerances associated with Tyramine Intolerance. Here is a very useful website that should help: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?
Avatar n tn I have an 11-year-old son who was diagnosed with lactose intolerance and acid reflux a few years ago. Over the last two years we have weaned him off his medication and he has not shown any of the classic symptoms associated with either condition. However, from time to time he will have a little yellow mucus spontaneously come out of his anus. No gas, stomach pain, bloating, chest discomfort or anything other than the mucus from the anus.
Avatar m tn I have read a little about the medication and learned that it contains lactose. I am lactose intolerant and am not sure what to do, I have not started taking the drug. Has anyone else here had problems with this medication because of lactose intolerance? I've been suffering from a kind of chronic fatigue and my doctor thinks that by taking Viread I might be able to get back to normal. Any comments or advice would be most welcome.
Avatar f tn Hi, welcome to the forum, the possibilities in your case are gastroenteritis (often with diarrhea), a reaction to a medication, lactose intolerance (difficulty digesting the lactose in milk), indigestion, gas formation, infection, obstruction etc. We can not diagnose the exact cause without medical findings. You need to undergo stool examination and ultrasound to rule out the exact cause. Also take light food, maintain water balance as you may get dehydrated.
Avatar f tn I recently had a lactose intolerance breath test and it was negative. However, whenever I have lactose I feel bloated and constipated - more than usual (I have IBS-Constipation Type). Is it possible to not be lactose intolerant and still have difficulty digesting foods containing lactose? .
Avatar f tn s happening the use of some probiotics might be helpful. Lactose could be an issue, and if he used lactose-free products it would be helpful. But if he has problems with diary that continue with the use of something like lactaid, it could be more than just a lactose issue. Some people have problems with the major protein in diary - casein - a true food 'intolerance' or allergy and have to avoid all dairy. Is he having diarrhea, too.
Avatar m tn However another problem could be developing an intolerance to casein, the major protein in dairy. It can cause a variety of symptoms including fatigue and skin issues. You could ask your doc to run some tests, or just avoid dairy in general.
