What is allergic gastroenteritis?

A condition where the intestines react strongly to certain foods, causing diarrhea and abdominal discomfort. Common triggers include milk, eggs, seafood, and nuts. Childhood allergies may gradually disappear by adulthood, but allergies can develop at any point in life.

Symptoms of allergic gastroenteritis

  • Abdominal pain

  • Family history of Asthma, Eczema, Allergic rhinitis or Allergic conjunctivitis

  • Diarrhea

  • Stomach pain or tummy ache in a specific place

  • Upset tummy / upper abdominal discomfort

  • Mental stress or physical exhaustion

  • Exposed to something that you were previously allergic to

  • Nausea or vomiting after eating

Questions your doctor may ask to check for allergic gastroenteritis

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose allergic gastroenteritis

  • Do you have abdominal pain (stomach ache)?

  • Do you have a family history of asthma, atopy, allergic rhinitis or allergic conjunctivitis?

  • Do you have loose stools or diarrhea?

  • Do you have abdominal (stomach) pain in any particular location?

  • Do you have discomfort (but not pain) around the upper part of your abdomen /stomach? Such as an upset tummy?

Treatment for allergic gastroenteritis

Childhood allergies may disappear by adulthood. The most important step is identifying and removing trigger foods from the diet. During an episode, treatment with charcoal pills and antihistamine medicines will be helpful. Rarely, some patients may develop a severe allergy - this will require emergency medical care.
