Suggest Treatment For Constipation , Stomach Pain , Nausea And Diarrhea

For the past month, ever since my daughter went to jail and I took her 5 children, 3 under the age of 5, I have had at least weekly bouts of constipation followed by stomach pains, nausea and diarrhea. Each episode lasts about 1 to 2 hrs. I can t decide if there is something wrong or it is just nerves. I am 68 years old.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

The symptoms of stomach pain with nausea,diarrhoea could be due to irritable bowel syndrome,dyspepsia,sprue,bowel obstruction etc.

If you have abdominal pain or distension with vomiting,diarrhoea and constant pain then you should start some medication like proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole),antispasmodics,pain killers with avoiding excess carbohydrates and fatty foods, avoiding oily and spicy foods.

You should do some routine blood works,ESR,electrolytes and if required then ultrasound abdomen.

With symptomatic treatment you will feel better within 2 to 3 days and If you still have these problems then you should go to gastroenterologist to treat underlying cause.

You might also need to undergo upper GI endoscopy if symptoms remains persistent.

Regards,
