Cramps, Diarrhea, Pale Stools, Normal Blood Tests, Back Pain. Had Food Poisoning. What Should I Do?
Hello, I ve recently suffered food poisoning from a Mexican Restaurant. The following morning I had severe cramps and diarrhea . I went to my doctor the following Friday after my next movement appeared pale in color. He perscribed me antibiotics. All my blood tests came back normal. After a week of the antibiotics, I found my lower abdominal area to be dry (coming off the perscription), and I developed constipation after two days of being normal. My passings were regular in color, but they were round in shape and hard to pass. To combat the constipation, I started taking probiotics and fiber supplements . After three days of taking this I had two bowel movements and they were pale in color again. After the passings my stomach is increasingly tender, and I am experiencing some back pain. What should I do? And what you guess be a possible diagnosis?
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern looking to given history here I could say that this is just nothing to worry the symptoms of yours is suggestive of having the side effects of the antibiotic that you have taken, and this would come around you can try "Lyophilized lactobacillus" sachets three times in day, take care and have a nice day.
