What Causes Severe Stomach Ache And Diarrhea?

For the past two nights, in the middle of the night, I wake up with severe stomach pains. They are not associated with diarrhea. Last night, the pain was so bad I pondered going to the hospital. Saturday night I ate early (6-6:30). Sunday night, I ate little all day, and had a small beef and rice dish from Pei Wei about 8. It does not hurt at any other time of the time, eating or not eating...just at night. I do not have problems with reflux. What could it be?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of severe stomach ache and diarrhea which seems to be due to food poisoning/ acute gastroenteritis caused by viral infection and electrolyte imbalance in body. I would suggest you to

- Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself.

- Take banana on daily basis and light food.

- Take Ibuprofen and avoid sharp spicy food.

Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
