Brief Answer:
It seems that the fruits were contaminated.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for aksing back again on HealthcareMagic.

I have very carefully gone through your query and understand your concerns. I would need to ask specifically how long it has been occurring and about your bowel habits. It seems that you are getting intestinal spasms. Such spasms could be relieved by the use of decolic tablet (dicyclomine) (prescription medicine) as per requirement. However, a thorough clinical evaluation is required to identify the underlying cause and I would insist you to visit a doctor who could evaluate you.

Such spasms are usually caused due to ingestion of food contaminated with certain bacterial toxins. The problem may persist for 2-4 days. Antibiotics are usually not required, unless it is associated with the passage of blood stained stool. But it is very important to take plenty of fluids and ORS (oral rehydration solution). Proper hydration could perhaps take care of the rining in your ears.

Brief Answer:
Continue to take sertaline as directed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Sorry for not being able to respond faster. I understand your apprehensions but find hard to comment definitively without being able to examine you. Anxiety could indeed manifest with such symptoms and in such cases sertaline is likely to be helpful. I insist you to continue it. You have already seen an imporvement even though it was just in part. I am sure that on medication your pain would resolve completely.

There is another entity called abdominal migraine. Discuss about this possibilty with your docotr.

i did not feel any improvement and i lost my weight alot. i am just upset to this condition. sertraline affect me badly first dose and i stoped to take second pill.

Brief Answer:
Monitor your weight from time to time. Note it with date. Stop worrying.

Detailed Answer:

I am really sorry for not being available for the entire day yesterday to answer your query.

Let me assure that you would not get the effect of sertaline in a single dose.

Hence, it was nothing but apprehension that made you stop the medicine. I would insist you to reinitiate it.

If you still have problems, you would have to talk to your doctor for an alternative.

Frankly speaking, in a case like yours, a few thorough clinical examination would yield valuable information without which I find it hard to comment definitively.
