What Causes Diarrhea, Abdominal Cramps And Excessive Sweating?

I have lose bowels almost everyday, some days with server cramping, it can make my bowels sore for days. I am always sweating, after working in the yard or in the house I feel ill and dizzy. I do drink a lot of water but if I m constantly sweating could I be dehydrated. After I eat in the morning and noon, I get nauseous and very tired, I can fall asleep in minute and sleep for hours.

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Diarrhea and abdominal cramps may be caused by viral, bacterial or parasitic digestive infections.Most of these infections will give you symptoms like sweating, tiredness, dizziness...and symptoms may further become serious if you get dehydrated.The symptoms could also be caused by food poisoning.
I will however suggest you see the Doctor for a stool exam and culture which may help identify the causative agent.Your Doctor may also judge the need for a serum electrolyte to evaluate the extent to which you are dehydrated am the ionic imbalances that go with diarrhea.I will suggest you try the following:
-Take oral rehydration salt to replenish ions lost
-drink enough water
-Zinc tablets
-An anti-diarrheal like imodium
-An antispasmodic like spasfon for abdominal cramps
The etiologic management of your condition will be after the stool tests.
Hope my answer will help you
Wish you a speedy recovery
