What Causes Stomach Pain,vomiting And Diarrhea?

Hello,I had a baby about 5 months ago, I had very bad stomach pain along with morning sickness and fainting the whole pregnancy. It all went away once I had my baby but now for the last month or so the stomach pain is back.I also have vomited and had diarrhea a couple times in the past month.The pain is pretty serious, some times I cannot stand straight. I have been told to change eating habbits, I drink a gallon of water a day - anything else I can do?

Hi,

Pregnancy had its own problems like pain in abdomen as per your history. The morning sickness continues only during the first trimester that is first 3 months of pregnancy and continuation beyond that can be a problem due to other reasons and should now be found out.
Now the problem has started for the last one month that is 4 months after having a baby so that we can have all the investigations which needed to be avoided during the pregnancy for obvious reason to avoid radiation problems.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult a Gastroenterologist for clinical evaluation, examination and following investigations:
Contrast enhanced CT scan of abdomen with Enteroclysis.
Tests of stool for 3 consecutive days.
Tests of blood as would be advised.
Any other tests as would be asked for.
All these will give a proper diagnosis and thus a plan for proper medical or surgical management as per the findings.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
