What disease is it that causes abdominal pain and diarrhea after lunch

Some patients will experience abdominal pain and diarrhea after meals. Some patients do not take it seriously if the symptoms are mild. In fact, this is very dangerous. Abdominal pain and diarrhea may be caused by indigestion, but it may also be caused by some organ diseases or system disorders. The correct approach is to seek medical attention as soon as possible and receive symptomatic treatment.

Causes of abdominal pain and diarrhea after lunch

Frequent abdominal pain and diarrhea after meals are manifestations of mild colon dysfunction. It is mostly a functional disease, characterized by a chronic course of the disease but no obvious effect on the physical constitution. Although there is abdominal pain and diarrhea, stool examination often shows no obvious inflammation or other abnormal changes. Diarrhea often occurs before or after breakfast and dinner and is rare at night. The stool is mostly pasty and may contain mucus.

In addition, frequent bowel movements due to abdominal pain after meals can form a conditioned reflex over time, namely the gastro-colon reflex. After eating, food stimulates the gastric mucosa, causing the gastro-colonic reflex, increasing colon motility and producing a feeling of defecation. These are mostly functional disorder symptoms.

Treatment for abdominal pain and diarrhea after lunch

1. Relax your mind, eliminate worries, and eliminate related mental factors.

2. Develop good eating habits, eat at regular times and in regular amounts, avoid raw, cold, unclean, alcoholic, spicy, and irritating foods, and pay attention to dietary adjustments.

3. Establish a good life system and have appropriate entertainment activities regularly. When there is less physical activity on weekdays, you should increase exercise and strengthen physical training appropriately to help restore gastrointestinal nerve function.

4. With the help of drug treatment, gradually change and develop the habit of regular bowel movements. You can take compound phenethylpiperidin, 1 tablet each time, 2 to 3 times a day. The drug has analgesic, antidiarrheal, and intestinal spasm-inhibiting effects and helps eliminate the gastro-colonic reflex. After a period of adjustment and physical exercise, the symptoms will be improved.

If you have indigestion, you can take intestinal flora regulators, such as lactobacillus tablets, lactase, etc. Chinese herbal preparations such as Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets can be taken orally to increase appetite and aid digestion.
