Avatar n tn What should I be looking for regarding symptoms of this disease? He is one of two cats abandened after a fire. The other is a american short hair female. The female was not diagnosed with the disease at two years of age and was vaccinated.
Avatar f tn It can cause mild to extreme pains anywhere in your abdomen, though most feel it epigastrically. (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 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 f tn Hi It could be a case of gastroenteritis (gut infection) which has led to diarrhea and vomiting. The main symptoms of gastroenteritis are diarrhea and vomiting although one or the other symptom may predominate. If the symptoms persist (>1 day), worsen or lead to other complications you should consult your doctor who could order some tests such as stool examination etc. In the meanwhile take rest and drink lots of fluids to avoid dehydration.
Avatar n tn Welcome to the gastroenterology community! The symptoms of norovirus are the symptoms of gastroenteritis. These include stomach, pain, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. I don't believe it is running around california now.
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 On day 7 of a severe case of gastroenteritis. Everything seems to have calmed down, but once I try and eat anything stomach cramps start, which are unbearable. Sometimes followed by diarrhoea. Is this normal after a severe case of gastroenteritis or do I need to see my G.P again?
Avatar f tn But its specifically on my side, not my back or tummy. Its been a week since symptoms started. Symptoms include a constant achy feeling in the area, sharp pains in the area when i lay down or move positions or laugh or cough. 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.
Avatar m tn I can feel it during pee, or after I pee. Previously my symptoms could only be felt in the morning and for the rest of the day I was fine. Now the tip of my penis itches and is more sensitive as well. My question is , could it be that the injection and the cipro didnt kill whatever bacteria in the first place? Or could this be a yeast infection due to a extended intake of Cipro? I look forward to your reply!
Avatar m tn m going to go get tested next week just to put all of this out of my mind. I know that symptoms are awfully unreliable in diagnosing early HIV infection, but at a guess, just how uncommon would it be for the initial presentation to be a sudden onset 24-48 hour illness with high fever, muscle aches, and vomiting?
Avatar n tn In the meantime, you may want to talk to relatives to find out if there is a history in the families of any food intolerance issues or possibly celiac disease.
Avatar m tn No one in my family had chrons or UC that I knew of. However, I do now remember that my dad had lots of trouble with his stomach and I wonder if he didn't have a mild form.
Avatar n tn Hi, my son spends a lot of time in China. He often gets the stomach problem. Did you get any antibiotics from the doctor? Also, try taking a probiotic (acidophilis, or eat yogurt). Usually, before my son goes there he gets a prescription for antibiotics. I think Cipro is the one they give for the stomach. I'm not sure about the chest pain. Could it possibly be from jet lag and body aches from traveling?
Avatar n tn vomiting • Anaemia • Unexplained loss of weight These symptoms are classed as a medical emergency, as those symptoms are also a cause of advanced stomach cancer. Have you seen a gastroenterologist?

Avatar f tn Hi. Since the end of February, I've been having sharp pain in my abdomen. The pain first started at my appendix area. I had all the symptoms of appendicitis. I went to emergency and they ruled out appendicitis. I had Constipation, gastroenteritis and IBS. Now, the gastroenteritis is gone, but the rest isn't. I still have the same symptoms from the beginning. My appendix area feels bloated. It now hurts so bad, I have difficulty and pain standing, walking or even sitting.
Avatar n tn Would green watery bowel movements for the last couple of days be a symptom of damaged liver due to alcohol abuse. Going through the beginnings of detox right now.
Avatar f tn You need to be monitored closely by a hepatologist. The symptoms that you describe are symptoms of your liver not working well causing you to become more and more ill. Having a hepatologist in a liver transplant center means that as you become more ill, you will already be an established patient in the transplant center, and you will have the right team of people around you. As Hector mentioned, it is important for you to know the exact state of the health of your liver.
Avatar f tn Soda and fruit juices have too much sugar and not enough of the important electrolytesthat are lost during diarrhea, and they should not be used to rehydrate. In cases of severe dehydration, fluids may need to be replaced through an IV (intravenously).

Went to the da house for dinner, brought the oldest boy home with us just to have him get sick within 20 minutes of us arriving home.
Avatar n tn Your response definitely put me at ease 2 weeks ago, but I'm having a hard time letting my HIV concers go for the following reasons. (1) I'm still fighting naseau/diareah (for almost 4 weeks), (2) I had a rash all over my face and neck last night and (3) I started having severe lower back pain 2 days ago. I'm worried these are symptoms of ARS.
Avatar f tn It could be related to a reaction to something in one of the meals/snacks from Nutrisystem, or more likely it could be a bout of stomach flu which is not really a flu. It's proper name is viral gastroenteritis. Usually gastroenteritis resolves within a few days. 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).
Avatar f tn It sounds like a bout of Gastroenteritis (stomach flu). I don' t think your FTM HRT has a role in this. Can you post some details, regarding your history of Epilepsy? Treatment, meds and any other details. Not that I believe, it has much to do with your symptoms in your post, but perhaps I can offer you some further insight.
693811 tn?1245871706 The pain was in the same region of the abdomen and I was getting the symptoms with the kinds of foods that are known to be caused from gallbladder issues. I had the ultrasound done for the gallbladder and the gallbladder showed no issues. Interestingly, the same thing happened with a friend of mine.
Avatar f tn I also have anxiety because before I was diagnosed with gastroenteritis I would be searching up my symptoms on the internet so I pretty much scared myself half to death with all the things I saw. Now my poop floats, is yellow, and when I flush the toilet the strikes of poop stick to the sides. I don't know what I might have. Thank you for taking you're time to read my summary.
