A member asked:
Does appendicitis ever start as diarrhea first before the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but typically: appendicitis starts with nausea and vomiting. If you have pain in right lower abdomen and ANY GI symptom, you should see a doctor for evaluation for possible appendicitis.
