When you throw up and poop at the same time it's most often a result of gastrointestinal issues.
Fecal vomiting occurs when the bowel is obstructed for some reason, and intestinal contents cannot move normally.
While it sounds unpleasant and unusual, it's possible to vomit up your own fecal matter.
Known in medical literature as “feculent vomiting,” throwing up poop is usually due to some type of blockage in the intestines.
When you feel like you have to poop but only mucus comes out it's most commonly a symptom of IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Other conditions that can cause mucus to come out but make you feel like you need to poop are Crohn's, UC, or proctitis.
It may also be an indication of colon cancer.
When your poop is watery and your stomach hurts it could be that you have eaten something bad or may have food poisoning, bacterial or viral infection, food sensitivities or even some medications and sometimes alcohol consumption can cause your stomach to hurt and your poop be watery.
If your stomach cramps have started recently and you also have diarrhea, the cause may be a tummy bug (gastroenteritis).
This means you have a viral or bacterial infection of the stomach and bowel.
It should get better without treatment after a few days.
It's important for people having abdominal pain and diarrhea to stay hydrated.
Drink plenty of clear liquids, such as water, juice, and broth.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
As bowel movements become more regular, eat small amounts of low fiber, mild foods.
Yellow Liquid diarrhea can mean you have liver or gallbladder issues.
In some cases a yellow liquid diarrhea may be normal if it clears up within a day or so but in some cases it can be a health issue that could be serious and so you should get checked out by a doctor.
Yogurt is good for diarrhea unless you have severe diarrhea.
When eating yogurt with diarrhea you should eat yogurt that is rich in probiotics.
Plain yogurt is best since the added sugars in flavored yogurt are not easy on the gut during an episode of diarrhea.
It's better to let diarrhea run it's course unless it gets too bad.
In most cases diarrhea goes away on it's own within a few hours or a day.
However if the diarrhea continues or prevents you from doing things that you need to do then you should treat the diarrhea and stop the diarrhea by taking some anti diarrhea medicine.
In severe cases you should seek medical treatment by going to the emergency room or urgent care as diarrhea can dehydrate you.
A good anti diarrhea medicine is Imodium or your doctor can prescribe some stronger anti diarrhea medicine but Imodium works within an hour.
The active ingredient in anti diarrhea medicine is Loperamide.
Loperamide is used to control and relieve the symptoms of acute diarrhea.
It is also used to treat chronic diarrhea in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Loperamide helps stop diarrhea by slowing down the movements of the intestines.
Imodium, also stylized as Imodium A-D, is the brand name for loperamide.
Unlike Lomotil, Imodium can be purchased over the counter (OTC).
Therefore, it's more widely available. Loperamide is a synthetic opioid that binds to opioid receptors in the intestinal wall to slow gut movement.
Loperamide is an antidiarrheal active ingredient available in over-the-counter (OTC) medicines that treat the symptoms of diarrhea, including traveler's diarrhea.
Loperamide can be the only active ingredient in an anti-diarrheal medicine or it can be found in medicines that also treat symptoms such as gas.
Check with your doctor before taking Loperamide if you have any of the following.
You have had an allergic reaction to loperamide or any other medicines in the past.
You have had diarrhoea for more than 48 hours.
You have HIV and your stomach becomes swollen.
You have liver problems.
You have blood in your poo and a high temperature – these can be signs of dysentery.
IMODIUM products contain an active ingredient called Loperamide, which works to slow your system to its normal pace.
This allows the body to start absorbing fluids and salts as it should, restoring the consistency of stools.
Lomotil (diphenoxylate and atropine) and Imodium (loperamide hydrochloride) are antidiarrheal medications used to treat diarrhea.
Lomotil also contains an anticholinergic.
Unless directed by a physician, Imodium isn't intended to treat long-term or chronic diarrhea.
Side effects are possible, even when someone uses Imodium as directed or intended.
Although some side effects are common and expected, a person who is abusing Imodium may have more serious side effects.
