3. Vomiting
Vomiting is common with traveler’s diarrhea, but not everyone will experience it. The underlying cause of the condition determines if a person vomits or feels nauseous. The vomiting may occur at the same time as diarrhea, or it may occur a few days before it starts or after it stops. It most commonly appears if the underlying cause is a virus, infection, or food poisoning.
Some people vomit violently, and others may only vomit a little bit. Many people vomit because their stomach hurts so bad or because they feel full and nauseous. Some people feel the urge to vomit while they are using the bathroom. This can be caused by the force of diarrhea and the underlying cause of the condition.
There are medications that can help relieve the feeling of nausea and stop vomiting. They may also help relieve diarrhea. If the vomiting becomes severe, you should seek medical attention. Excessive vomiting and diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration, so be sure to drink plenty of water when suffering from these symptoms.
