treat gastroenteritis. i do get bad stomach pains. please help

Answer 1

Treatment
Self-treatment
Most cases of gastroenteritis can be treated with self-care.

If you have lost lots of fluid through persistent diarrhoea and/or vomiting, you may be dehydrated. The balance of salts in your body may also be disturbed.

The most important aspect of treatment is to replace the fluids you have lost, to prevent getting dehydrated.

If you have a mild case of gastroenteritis, the usual daily drinks (water, squash) should be enough.
In you have a more severe infection use an oral re-hydration solution (eg Dioralyte), which is available from pharmacies.5 These are usually a powder that is made up into a solution by adding water. They contain the right balance of sugars and salts for the body and they encourage re-hydration. You can make your own version if you dissolve one-half teaspoon of salt, one-half teaspoon of baking soda and four tablespoons of sugar to a litre of (safe) water.6
Take small sips of drinks and bites of salty crackers until you feel well enough to eat again.6 When your appetite returns, eat mild foods such as soups, pasta, rice and dry toast.2

Medicines
Medicines to stop diarrhoea such as loperamide (eg Imodium) are best reserved for short-term situations, such as making travel easier, or to get through a social event.5 These medications slow down the intestines, but have no effect on the excess fluid in the intestines, so it will come out later. They can also have side-effects such as tummy cramps and dizziness.7

If you are in pain, take the painkiller that you would normally take for a headache.

Answer 2

Is it possible that you have IBS and not gastroenteritis, if your having bad tummy pains all the time and feel like something is tying your tummy up really bad it could be possible you have IBS, go to the doctors and get it sorted out, gastroenteritis isn't something you should have on a regular basis, hope you get sorted soon.

Nexium, the little purple pill. Also don't eat greasy, high fatty, fried, or spicy foods. Go to google and look up IBS, and Gastronitis. You'll find a lot of very uselful information. Also avoid caffeine, chocolate, a lot of meat in one day, popcorn, nuts, and foods that don't digest easy like raw carrots or celery. It's a whole world of changing how you eat honey. Also try taking Beano, and or Gas-X
