What Causes Bloating And Gastritis Post Recovery From Food Poison?

I think I came out from food poisoning the other day... I had diarrhea,vomiting,chills,dizziness and it went for a whole day last Tuesday...now i just feel bloated and gassy...and the gas is more untolerable than my usual gas leak...I also feel like I m having high blood, but when I check my bp it s normal... I have some back pain, but I don t think it s related to what just happened to me. My question is, is there a reason why I m gassy after recovering from diarrhea?

Hi,

I would like to ask you have you visited a doctor and taken the treatment for food poisoning?

It is important to take a 7-day course of antibiotics like tablet norfloxacin and tinidazole twice a day for 7 days to get rid of the infection.

Also, over the counter omeprazole 20mg in the morning, half an hour before breakfast for a week will bring down bloated sensation and gastritis.

A tablet of lactobacillus once a day available Over the counter shall also give alot of relief.

The reason why you are having these problems is the gastrointestinal system has suffered an insult due to food poisoning and usually takes a week to regain balance.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Riyanka Chail, General & Family Physician
