Question 1

recently, i had two occasions where after eating beans i either had loose stools and/or vomiting. is this an allergic reaction or food poisoning?

Accepted Answer

Aller

allerg: The title wouldn't let me type in allergic.  You are likely having an anaphylactic reaction to beans and need to avoid them. One need to rule out peanut allergy as well and you need to consider having epinephrine autoinjector at all times in case of accidental exposure to beans.  Consult an allergist since you likely have nasal and/or respiratory allergies as well.

Question 2

nauseous with oily, greasy loose stool- food poisoning?

Accepted Answer

Greasy Stool: Greasy, foul stools sounds like any event that result in a poorly digested meal.  Any meal that is poor digested will be loose.  A high fat diet with a poorly functioning gallbladder will also give the exact same symptoms.

Question 3

food poisoning? started day before yesterday at night after eating at friends house.real watery stool with no soilds and vomiting.

Accepted Answer

It's possible, but..: your limited information does not provide enough of a context for symptom onset, severity, or duration. Especially if distress persists, or is accompanied by bleeding, worsening pain, lightheadedness, or development of vomiting or fever, then get a good examination with appropriate testing for reassurance and/or treatment. Wouldn't point fingers unless others got sick from eating the same food.

Question 4

4 last 2 weeks undigested food in loose stool 3 days after eating. didnt eat the food in following 2 days. stools 3x day. b4 every other day. normal?

Accepted Answer

Change in Bowel Move: It is not unusual to a person to have some type of change in the frequency of bowel movement, especially if there was some change in dietary pattern. However, for some one over the age of 50, one should always think about having colonoscopy, particularly if there is a new bowel symptom: http://www.Laendo.Net/english/what-is-a-colonoscopy.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Can be: If symptoms are worsening 5 days after the initial attack it would be time to get checked.

Question 6

how long will vertigo last after food poisoning?

Accepted Answer

See details: True vertigo (not talking about dizziness) is not a complication of food poisoning.

Question 7

how long does metallic taste last after food poisoning?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: What kind of  "food poisoning" are you referring to?  This term is very confusing and needs further definition.  The basic answer, however, is that if you are not being treated with medication which may be responsible for the taste, any inflammation of the upper GI tract has the potential for altering your taste perception.

Question 8

what's the dosage of econorm for adults? should it be taken before food or after food? i'm suffering from loose stools since wednesday. not taking any

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: The benefit, and the dose, and the effect of food, are all speculative. If you have persistent loose stools, swallowing some yeast is not likely to help. To correct the condition requires that you first define the cause. You will need professional help for that. Many episodes of loose stools are brief and self contained. If that occurs in your case, be grateful it is gone and do not experiment wit

Question 9

can chronic loose stools be a sign of hiv even with an hiv 4th generation negative test after 9 months from last sex? also no infection in feces

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: There are many causes for chronic diarrhea.  Consult a gastroenterologist.

Question 10

Eosinophilic ?: Food impaction in the esophagus can result when there is a fixed narrowing (e.g. Congenital web, ring, peptic stricture, radiation damage, surgical anastomotic narrowing), inflammation, dysmotility (disordered peristalsis or sphincter problem, achalasia).  In younger patients, infiltration of the gut lining by eosinophils can cause both dysphagia (food sticking) and diarrhea.  Was this checked?
