I have been having stomach pain and nausea since last

Customer Question

I have been having stomach pain and nausea since last Tuesday. Dr suspects stomach ulcer so I have to go for an endoscopy in 2 weeks time. My iron level is currently 7 and I was started on liquid iron on Friday which made the nausea and pain worse. Back at GP yesterday who has now started me on 2 antibiotics for suspected helicop something! I started these last night and since 5am this morning I have had explosive Diarrhea and am unable to eat. Just spoke to GP who just suggested changing one of the antibiotics
Assistant: How long have you been in pain? Are you experiencing any vomiting or nausea?
Customer: Just nausea and retching. Pain comes and goes but low cramping pain for about 6/7 weeks and upper pain for just over a week
Assistant: Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

Thank you for getting back with the requested necessary information.From your system analysis and correlating it with the history that I have gathered from you I feel that we need to consider the possibilities of -
1. Irritable bowel syndrome.
2. Nutritional iron deficiency anaemia.
3. Acid peptic disease with Helicobacter pylori infectionThe current explosive diarrhoea could be because of antibiotic associated diarrhoea which has been used against Helicobacter pylori. This can be easily managed by stopping the antibiotic and adding a probiotic specifically Saccharomyces boulardii for antibiotic associated diarrhoea please.May I suggest you discuss the above possibilities with your primary care physician and get yourself appropriately evaluated and managed please.I sincerely ***** ***** I have helped you, and that I have earned my 5 star rating today!
