Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Constant Diarrhea While Suffering From Gastroparesis?
I have gastroparesis. I am needing a shoulder replacement done and have been sleeping on my left side because of this. I have had constant diarrhea . Could sleeping on my left side cause this ? Never had this problem as long as I slept on my right side.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I suggest you to take tablet Metronidazole BD (twice daily for 3 days)
and ORS (oral rehydration solution). Diarrhea is mostly not due to sleep left shoulder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini
