Patient's question:
In the morning, I need to have bowel movements four or five times, with loose stools and abdominal bloating. I also need to urinate dozens of times a day, and my feet cannot stand or walk for long periods. Is this symptom of gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, it is suspected that you may have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It is recommended to take medications that support the intestinal mucosa, such as glutamine, and avoid spicy foods that are harsh on the gastrointestinal tract. Pay attention to a regular diet, ensure sufficient rest, and the symptoms will gradually stabilize. If the condition does not improve, it is advised to visit a hospital for gastroscopy and colonoscopy to determine if there are other inflammatory issues in the gastrointestinal tract. The daily treatment for gastroenteritis primarily involves medication. Patients can take a variety of oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, while also maintaining a regular schedule and avoiding alcohol.
