Gastroenteritis viral diarrhea
Common Questions and Answers about Gastroenteritis viral diarrhea
gastroenteritis
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.
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.
Viral gastroenteritis is an intestinal disease set apart by watery the runs, stomach spasms, sickness or retching, and once in a while fever. The most widely recognized approach to create viral gastroenteritis — frequently called stomach influenza — is through contact with a tainted individual or by ingesting debased nourishment or water.
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.
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. Take an OTC lactobacillus preparation (probiotics) and yoghurt with your meals, after giving the stool sample for examination Drink plenty of fluids (clear soups, water, ORS in water, lemonade).
If this is something viral then this must be associated with a viral gastroenteritis ( as associated with the diarrhea). It may also be a blister secondary to irritation or friction which occurs on your toes. Do you wear tight shoes or sandals? This may also contribute.
I do not think this is something which you should be worried about. Just refrain from unnecessarily touching or picking on the area to avoid its spread in case this is infectious.

Dear Drs,
16 days ago I woke up with an upset stomach, nausea and had 5 episodes of watery diarrhea within 5 to 6 hours and a low temp of 99.3. I went to work but left early because I still had nausea and started to feel dizzy. The next day I had two more episodes of watery diarrhea, severe nausea and felt lightheaded and dizzy, I went to my GP and was diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis and given a liter of NS.
Hi
It could be a case of food poisoning or just a case of bacterial or viral gastroenteritis. Please drink plenty of fluids and take a light diet. Replenish the salts in your diet. Consult your doctor. You may need to take some tests like stool and urine examination. Please watch your urine color. A urine examination will detect any loss of blood however microscopic. In case there is blood loss, it will need to be looked into. Generalized infection can at times cause blood in urine.
Hello,
Some symptoms of viral infection of the abdomen like in viral gastroenteritis may prolong for some time(10-12) days after treatment of infection also.This is due to effect of virus on the stomach causing its irritation.
Since it happened after a viral infection,so causes could be dehydration and decreased amount of minerals like sodium and potassium in the body.It can also occur because of hypoglycemia or improper sleep during the infection.
Gut Dysbiosis, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Candida, viral gastroenteritis (stomach flu) food poisoning and parasites are all suspect.
Most of these have something in common, which is bacteria overgrowth.
Very low carb diet, peppermint oil supplements (enteric coated caps)
and high quality probiotics usually help in such cases.
Also Extra Virgin Coconut Oil 2T daily will help as it is anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, anti-viral and anti-microbial.
Stomach flu can cause indigestion and abdominal discomfort. Viral gastroenteritis can lead to nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The exact location of pain and other details will help in determining the accurate cause .Take light meals. Avoid spicy fried foods. If the symptoms are severe consult a gastroenterologist.
Best of luck and regards!
Your persisting symptoms of pain, nausea and vomiting could indicate a viral gastroenteritis. The other causes could be jaundice if there is yellowish discoloration of skin, food poisoning if the symptoms occurred shortly after taking food, peptic ulcer disease and sometimes cholecystitis and pancreatitis. Please consult your primary care physician for further evaluation. In the meantime take oral fluids and OTC acetaminophen for the pain. Regards.
Is it possible for a stomach bug to cause nausea only? (No stomach pains, diarrhea, etc.)…. This is about day 10 of nausea only, after returning home from an indoor water park hotel….(I did not swallow any water )….

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
They told me to stop taking the antibiotics because they suspected viral gastroenteritis, and told me to have actimel and probiotics. A few days later I was no longer vomiting, but diarrhea continued for another 2 weeks and I developed a blinding pain in my left side around my rib cage, I assume torn and pulled muscles from vomiting so much.
I returned to work on September 9th. I wasn't 100% and I was very exhausted still.
Your symptoms are meaningless and are not suggestive of the ARS. It sounds far more likely that you have food poisoning or a viral gastroenteritis than anything else.
3. At five weeks about 90% of HIV antibody tests will be positive but at least 10% will not and will become positive later. Since, based in the unlikelihood that your partner has HIV and the low chance of transmission if she does, your risk for infection from the encounter you describe is no more than 1 in 100,000.
m starting to worry that I have some sort of gastroenteritis or something. The diarrhea started after I ate these dessert things called alfajores. I think they might be the culprit. What should I do about the blood? Should I seek medical attention or is this something that will run it's course?

Hi Dr HHH,
I'd posted a question a few months ago in regards to my daughter. She has a blood transfusion (4 units) and I was concerned about possible HIV exposure. After being told by you no worries because everything is tested thoroughly now but if I was still worried to talk to her Dr. I spoke with her Dr. about my concerns. He tested her at 3.5 weeks and it was negative. He also told me no worries he was 99.
However, a few hours after the fall I started to have sudden onset diarrhea. My temperature would rise and I would feel extremely nauseous. It is waking me up early in the morning and also happening regularly from late afternoon on. I feel wretched from it and don't want to eat a thing. I am just wondering if it could be related to the fall at all?
