Suggest Treatment For Food Poisoning Along With Stomach Pain

Hi, since early Sunday morning I have had stomach pains also in my lower back too. I feel nauseous and worse after I ve eaten food. The pain can be quite severe after I ve eaten. I visited my gp yesterday and he said that he thinks I have food poisoning and it shall pass. But I haven t been able to go to the toilet since Sunday and I m in quite a lot of pain. Is that normal!? Thank you

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Food poisoning is nothing but acute gastroenteritis due to toxins of contaminated food from infections like bacteria or virus or parasite etc.

Symptoms usually starts after 12 to 24 hours of eating,like nausea,vomiting,abdominal pain,loose motions,fever,weakness,fatigue, headache,abdominal cramps due to water and electrolyte imbalance.

As per your symptoms like stomach pain,nausea you might have this gastroenteritis or acute gastritis.

You should do some routine blood work,urinalysis and ultrasound abdomen.For that,you must consult local doctor who can examine you and order above investigations.

You will require antibiotics, antispasmodics, antiemetics,probiotics and other supportive treatment as per your symptoms.

So,consult physician for proper treatment.
