Stomach Pain, Nausea & Diarrhoea 

Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea can be caused by a wide range of conditions from viral stomach bugs to food poisoning, gastritis, dehydration, or chronic digestive issues. 

These symptoms can become serious if not treated promptly.

At EveryMed, our experienced GPs diagnose and treat both acute and ongoing digestive problems. 

Whether your symptoms started suddenly or have been building up over time, our stomach pain clinic provides the care you need to feel better quickly.

Understanding Digestive Symptoms

Digestive symptoms occur when your stomach, intestines, or supporting organs become irritated or inflamed. 

Causes can be short-term (like a viral illness) or related to chronic conditions such as gastritis or IBS.

At EveryMed, we assess the full picture to find the root cause not just the symptoms.

Common Symptoms We Treat

You should see a GP if you experience:

  • Abdominal or stomach pain
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea (loose or frequent stools)
  • Bloating or gas
  • Indigestion or acid reflux
  • Loss of appetite
  • Cramping
  • Fever with digestive symptoms
  • Dehydration signs (dry mouth, dizziness, weakness)

If symptoms become severe or prolonged, the cause may require medical treatment.

Possible Causes

Digestive symptoms can be triggered by:

Acute Causes

  • Viral gastroenteritis (stomach flu)
  • Food poisoning
  • Bacterial infections
  • Parasites
  • Reaction to food or medication
  • Dehydration
  • Indigestion
  • Stress or anxiety

Chronic or Recurrent Causes

  • Gastritis
  • Acid reflux (GERD)
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
  • Peptic ulcers
  • Lactose intolerance or food sensitivities
  • Gallbladder issues
  • Chronic infections
  • Inflammatory bowel conditions (requires referral)

A proper diagnosis helps us create the right treatment plan and prevent symptoms from returning.

How We Diagnose Stomach Pain & Digestive Issues

At our stomach pain clinic, your GP may assess:

  • Location and type of stomach pain
  • Onset and duration of symptoms
  • Recent meals or travel history
  • Fever or dehydration
  • Medication usage
  • Possible exposure to contaminated food or water

When needed, we may also perform:

  • Blood tests
  • Stool tests for bacterial or viral infections
  • Urine test
  • Pregnancy test (where relevant)
  • H. pylori testing (for suspected gastritis or ulcers)
  • Abdominal ultrasound (if required)

This helps us identify whether you need diarrhoea treatment, anti-nausea medication, or further investigation.

Treatment Options

Your treatment plan will depend on the cause and severity of your symptoms.

Treatment for Viral Stomach Illnesses

  • Hydration and electrolyte replacement
  • Anti-nausea medication
  • Pain relief
  • Rest
  • Dietary adjustments (BRAT diet or light meals)

Treatment for Food Poisoning

  • Hydration support
  • Anti-nausea or anti-diarrhoeal medication (when appropriate)
  • Antibiotics for confirmed bacterial infections
  • Monitoring for dehydration

Gastritis & Acid-Related Symptoms

(Managed by our gastritis doctors.)

  • Acid-reducing medication
  • Stomach lining protectants
  • Trigger food management
  • Testing for H. pylori if needed
  • Long-term management plan

Diarrhoea Treatment

  • Rehydration therapy
  • Medication to reduce frequency (when safe to use)
  • Probiotics
  • Antibiotics for specific bacterial causes
  • Support for electrolyte imbalance

Chronic or Recurrent Symptoms

If your symptoms don’t settle, we support long-term management and arrange specialist referral when necessary.

When to See a Doctor

Book an appointment if you experience:

  • Symptoms lasting longer than 24–48 hours
  • Persistent vomiting
  • Severe stomach pain
  • Fever with diarrhoea
  • Blood in stools or vomit
  • Signs of dehydration
  • New or worsening symptoms
  • Pain after eating
  • Ongoing indigestion or acid reflux

Seek urgent care if:

  • You cannot keep fluids down
  • You feel faint or severely weak
  • Your abdomen becomes rigid or extremely painful
  • There is severe vomiting or dark blood in stools

These may indicate a serious infection or complication.

How to Prevent Stomach Illness

Your GP may recommend:

  • Safe food handling
  • Staying hydrated
  • Avoiding trigger foods
  • Proper hand hygiene
  • Managing stress
  • Limiting spicy or acidic foods
  • Avoiding overuse of alcohol
  • Treating stomach conditions early

These steps reduce the risk of future digestive problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between a headache and a migraine?

A headache is usually a mild to moderate pain that can affect any part of the head. Migraines are more severe, often throbbing, and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances.

2. What are the common triggers for migraines?

Triggers can include stress, hormonal changes, certain foods, dehydration, lack of sleep, bright lights, strong smells, or changes in weather. Identifying triggers helps in prevention and management.

3. When should I see a doctor for headaches or migraines?

Seek medical care if headaches are severe, sudden, frequent, or accompanied by vision changes, weakness, numbness, speech difficulty, or confusion. Chronic or worsening migraines should also be evaluated.

4. How does EveryMed treat headaches and migraines?

Treatment may include pain relief medication, anti-migraine medications, lifestyle advice, hydration guidance, stress management, and recommendations for preventive care to reduce frequency and severity.

5. Can migraines be prevented?

Yes. Preventive measures include identifying and avoiding triggers, maintaining a regular sleep schedule, staying hydrated, managing stress, and taking preventive medications if prescribed by a doctor.

6. Are over-the-counter painkillers safe for headaches and migraines?

Occasional use is generally safe, but frequent use can lead to rebound headaches or other side effects. Our doctors can advise on safe medication use and alternatives if headaches are frequent.

7. Can headaches indicate a serious condition?

While most headaches are harmless, sudden severe headaches, headaches after a head injury, or those accompanied by neurological symptoms may indicate a serious condition and require immediate medical evaluation.

8. How can lifestyle changes help with migraine management?

Regular exercise, a healthy diet, adequate sleep, stress reduction techniques, and avoiding known triggers can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines.
