Ileum: Typhoid affects the lower part of small intestine. Unless you are living in unsanitary conditions, it is unlikely that you have typhoid. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Yes: The condition is triggered by the germ salmonella typhimurium that infects the large intestine. It causes injury to the intestinal membranes & elaborates a toxin that causes additional symptoms. You will have some additional poor absorption for a period of time until the gut heals. If confirmed antibiotics may/may not be treated since abx can prolong germ carriage in your gut.

Not typhoid: The description you provided suggests nontyphoidal gastroenteritis which affects distal small bowel as well as large bowel. Stool culture is needed to positively identify the causative organism. Consult your Primary care provider!
