Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been getting horrible abdominal cramps off and on for a week and they last about 15 seconds. I always have to use the restroom after. My feces is a light brown color and thinner than usual. It has darkened up a little since yesterday. Is it my diet? It's kind of worrying me.
Hi. Thanks for your query. These can be due to intestinal infection or due to IBS, ( Irritable Bowel Syndrome). A course of antibiotics should be taken. IF there is no relief after 5 days, you need further investigations like: Blood for CBP, Widal, Sugar and Creatinine Urine: routine and microscopy Stool: routine , microscopy, occult blood . Ultrasonography and colonoscopy if your treating Gastroenterologist feels so.
