Avatar n tn Antimicrobial therapy is indicated for some bacterial gastroenteritis infections. However, many are self-limited and do not require therapy.The specific antibiotics are taken for specific bacteria after stool culture.Then a gastroenterologist or a physician has to be consulted.

Avatar f tn You should suspend the Nutrisystem program for now, stay hydrated and follow a bland diet-dry toast, rice broth or plain rice, bananas, applesauce also known as BRAT diet (acronym). Avoid greasy &spicy foods, dairy, fresh fruit and raw vegetables as well as alcohol. Taking a drink with electrolytes is very important. Coconut water is a good option. There are other possibilities of course, but the aforementioned stick out more.

Avatar f tn Oh boy, that stinks. I've had gastroenteritis. I went on the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast). What about broth like chicken noodle soup, you eat the broth? Smoothie? If you are recovering, start back on food slowly. Most important thing is hydration. Drink a lot of fluids. Food can come back slowly and we are fine. But we have to stay hydrated. Go with bland.

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.

Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong? Thank you.
Avatar f tn s alittle info on it hope this helps The BRAT diet is a diet for patients with gastrointestinal distress such as diarrhea, dyspepsia, and/or gastroenteritis. The BRAT diet is a bland diet that consists of foods that are low in fiber. Low-fiber foods were recommended as it was thought that foods high in fiber cause gas and possibly worsen gastrointestinal upset.[1] An acronym, BRAT is a mnemonic for bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast, the staples of the diet.
1751416 tn?1311996126 It all started in 2005 when I was in high school I was sick alot, missing school too many times. So I went into the doctor and he said I had gastroenteritis and possibly ulcers. He prescribed me Prilosec I think. I took it for 2wks as he told me to and it went away. Well this year it came back with a vengeance. I've been having these "episodes" damn near every week now at least once.

Avatar n tn He told me that I have a mild case of colits due to an intestinal bug going around. He told me to go on a liquid diet for 72 hours but to call if it gets worse or I get a fever. Did your doctor suggest an anibiotic? Did he/she ask you to moderate your diet? I'm trying to figure out which over the counter pain medication I can take if I get a headache.
Avatar n tn Hello, The vomitings and diarrhea can be due to gastroenteritis but for the ovarian pain, premenstrual symptoms can cause such pain. It can be avoided by taking a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals. Avoid excess caffeine, alcohol and smoking. Indulge in mild exercises everyday. You may take some pain killers like acetaminophen for pain relief. But of problem persists please consult a gynaecologist.
