What Causes Stomach Ache, Diarrhea And Itchy Rashes On The Body?

Yesterday, while reading a book after work, my stomach began to hurt, I had diarrhea, then broke out in an exceedingly itchy rash, which spread rapidly all over my body. I went to the minor medical clinic, where they gave me a steroid injection and called an ambulance. They mentioned that I had tachycardia and wheezing was noted. When the ambulance arrived, I was given epinephrine, albutorol breathing treatments and benadryl administered through an IV. This has happened only once before, exactly 6 months ago, and my airway was restricted. Was this anaphylaxis (sp)? and what could cause it if there were no environmental similarities between the two events? The only food I had yesterday was a hamburger, which I probably eat once a week.....no change in soaps, etc, no medications, no bug bites....

Hi,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. The first episode mentioned in the query is related to anaphylaxis. I suggest you to do the allergies test to confirm the allergens that cause these symptoms.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
