Suffering From Diarrhea?

If you’ve eaten bad food or you’ve been sick, it’s likely that you may deal with diarrhea. Everyone has it at points in their lives, but when is diarrhea a cause for concern? If you are dealing with diarrhea on a regular basis or if it lasts for more than three days, you need to talk to your gastroenterologist about getting treatment. At Comprehensive Digestive Institute of Nevada in Las Vegas, NV, our team can help you understand when diarrhea is a serious concern that you need to seek help for.

When Diarrhea is a Cause for Concern

There are many issues that can cause diarrhea, and normally it tends to go away on its own. You may need over-the-counter medications to help you feel relief from some of the symptoms, but you should find that it’s not a big deal. If you’re dealing with a condition like irritable bowel syndrome, you may experience diarrhea on a regular basis.

If you’re suffering from diarrhea, it’s important to monitor your symptoms and make sure that things aren’t severe. It’s important that you stay hydrated and you’re sure to eat foods that are easy on your stomach and won’t cause more pain. Normally, you won’t need to visit your gastroenterologist immediately if you’re dealing with diarrhea, but there are exceptions. If you’re dealing with:

  • Blood in your stool
  • Black stools
  • A high fever that lasts a few days
  • Diarrhea that lasts more than 2 days
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Severe stomach pains
  • Diarrhea after traveling overseas

You should be sure to contact your doctor immediately for care.
