Loose Motion, Nausea & Stomach Cramps: Know the Common Symptoms

Even though many cases are mild and go away in a few days early detection of the symptoms can help you manage them effectively and determine when to consult a doctor.

Frequent, loose, or watery feces are the hallmark of loose motion sometimes referred to as diarrhea. It could be accompanied by bloating, discomfort in the abdomen or an urgent need to use the loo. Frequent episodes raise the risk of dehydration by causing the body to lose large amounts of water and electrolytes. Excessive thirst, dry mouth, dark urine, lightheadedness and exhaustion are symptoms of dehydration.

The terrible feeling that you might throw up is called nausea and it frequently precedes or coincides with vomiting. Food poisoning, motion sickness, certain drugs, digestive diseases and stomach infections can all cause it. Additionally some people may lose their appetite which makes it more difficult to properly nourish and hydrate. A healthcare provider should be consulted if you experience persistent nausea or frequent vomiting but eating small, bland meals and drinking drinks slowly may help ease discomfort.

The tightening or spasms of the abdominal muscles that produce stomach cramps can cause anything from minor discomfort to excruciating pain. They often coexist with vomiting or diarrhea and may go away when stool is passed. Bloating, fever or general weakness may also accompany cramps depending on the underlying reason.

ORS, Diarrhea Medicine & Hydration IV Drips: Treatment Options

Rehydration comes first and a simple oral rehydration solution (ORS) can be helpful.

Alongside ORS and electrolyte replacement, options can include diarrhea medicines, nausea relief products and probiotics where appropriate.
