How To Treat A Bad Stomach After Having Dinner Outside Last Night?

Hi I have a question. Yesterday I went to a buffet with my family to eat. 3-4 hours later, I got very ill and passed a bowel movement that was mostly loose. Immediately I had to frequently urinate almost every 2-3 hours. My stomach is also bloated and making gurgling noises. I assumed I had a bad reaction to a food I ate, but I don't understand the frequent urination part. Also there's no burning when I pee, or a strange order or color to the urine. Also, even though I've just urinated, a large amount comes out everytime I got to the bathroom.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Noted the history of buffet with family yesterday, and you got very ill after 3 to 4 hours. You passed bowel movement that was mostly loose, frequent urination, bloating, gurgling, and no burning urination.

As per the history you have provided, this is definitely gastroenteritis and the septicemia or toxemia can cause urinary tract infection. I would advise you the following:

1. Send the sample of urine, stool and blood.
2. Get started on an antibiotic and metronidazole that is active against the intestinal as well as urinary tract infection.
3. Maintain hydration properly, electrolyte solution to be taken.

Also take probiotics, activated charcoal tables, curds, yogurt, bananas. If required get admitted for intravenous fluids and antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
