What Does Diarrhea Along With Nausea And Dizziness Indicate?

I am experiencing diarrhea, nausea, slight dizziness when standing and dull achy headache. Have an ileostomy and have had this diarrhea for a little over 24 hours. It seems to be tapering off but I still have the headache weakness and nausea. I started a fast before this began so I m wondering if that could have lowered my immune response and made me more susceptible to the stomach flu which a few of my co-workers I believe may have had.

Hi, thank you for trusting Healthcare Magic.

I understand your question.

Some things you may experience:
1. Gastroenteritis, namely gastrointestinal infections
2. Typhoid fever, infection caused by salmonella thyposa
3. Acute diarrhea, gastrointestinal infection due to rotavirus

When a person's diarrhea will tend to defecate liquid with frequency more than 3 times in the adjacent time. Meanwhile, if gastroenteritis will usually also complain of nausea and vomiting and sometimes fever. In typhoid fever other than the above symptoms, will also be encountered white tongue.

All of these circumstances can be triggered by eating unhygienic food.
regardless of the cause, the handling of diarrhea is the same depending on the degree of severity.
if it is light enough to drink plenty of water or salt / oralite sugar solution, but if it is a little heavy where the patient is difficult to drink and there are signs of dehydration (lethargy, sunken eyes, sagging skin, etc.) then the patient should be infused. Provision of anti-diarrhea drugs can be given to adults, but not in children and toddlers. this is because to ensure the germs in the child's stomach removed all of them so as not to cause repeated diarrhea.

For foods that should be consumed such as banana, bread.
You can temporarily avoided vegetables, fruit like papaya, and other high fiber foods.

If the complaint is not reduced within 3 days you should immediately go to the doctor.
