Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am having stomach upset. In the morning, I had two sodas with onion curry, but it was made of coconut oil. I never had food made of coconut oil before. And, I had basmati rice and dal makan with channa and bit homemade puliyogare, it had become dry as it was kept in a tightly closed cover for almost three days. We had our food outside in the evening. I have used my washroom more than four times, and I took one Eldoper tablet. Please suggest me a solution.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

1) You have mentioned the symptoms of stomach upset. Do you have abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting? This is important because, based on them, only it is possible to guess which part of the alimentary tract was affected by food.

2) Based on your details, you might have food-induced intestinal infection or inflammation (irritation, enteritis).

3) Generally, food poisoning also affects the stomach and develops gastritis, which causes severe nausea and episodes of vomiting (absent in your case).

4) When diarrhea occurs due to any reason, it causes loss of water and electrolytes from the body. This causes lethargy, tiredness, and fatigue.

The Probable causes

Food-poisoning.

Investigations to be done

CBC(complete blood count), stool routine and culture.

Probable diagnosis

enteritis.

Treatment plan

Treatment to maintain hydration. Treatment to reduce diarrhea. Antibiotic treatment for infection.

Regarding follow up

follow up with family physician.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
