Can you get diarrhea after eating sushi?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read and understood your query.

Yes, eating sushi can cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, GIT (gastrointestinal tract) upset, etc., if it is not well digested by your body. Again, taking Magnesium also causes diarrhea because it has an osmotic laxative effect and relaxes intestinal muscles that may fasten the exit process.

I hope this information will help you.

Please revert in case of more queries.

Thank you.

Hi,

Glad to have you back!

I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

Sushi is a possible source of infections like Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes that can harm the digestive system and may cause diarrhea. Again, undigested sushi can cause diarrhea, as I have already mentioned. Similarly, magnesium-induced diarrhea is another possible cause. Without diarrhea, other signs of abdominal infection, like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, a rise in temperature or fever, chills, swollen belly, etc., are absent now. So, still, it is not a GIT (gastrointestinal tract) infection. If other signs of infections appear as time passes, then it will require attention.

I hope this information will help you.
