Diarrhea after eating biscuits may be caused by food poisoning, chronic gastritis, viral enteritis, and other conditions. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. Food Poisoning
If the biscuits consumed were improperly stored or past their expiration date and have spoiled, they may cause food poisoning, irritating the patient's gastrointestinal tract and leading to diarrhea. Treatment may include medications such as atropine sulfate injection or smectite powder, used according to medical advice.
2. Chronic Gastritis
If the patient has a Helicobacter pylori infection, the gastrointestinal mucosa may become damaged due to bacterial invasion, potentially causing the aforementioned symptoms. The patient may take medications such as clarithromycin granules or levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules as directed by a physician.
3. Viral Enteritis
Infections with norovirus, reovirus, or coxsackievirus are major causes of viral gastroenteritis. Viral irritation of the gastrointestinal tract may lead to electrolyte imbalances, resulting in these symptoms. Patients may use antiviral medications such as ribavirin granules or enteritis relief tablets under medical guidance.
In addition, diarrhea after eating biscuits could also result from acute bacterial dysentery, Candida albicans enteritis, allergic purpura, uremia, intestinal tuberculosis, colon cancer, rectal cancer, and other conditions. It is recommended to receive targeted treatment based on the specific underlying cause.
