Experiencing stomach pain and diarrhea every night after eating fried foods

Abdominal pain refers to pain in the belly. Generally, experiencing abdominal pain and diarrhea after eating fried food at night may be caused by factors such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastritis, or cholecystitis. Patients can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

IBS is a common intestinal disorder characterized mainly by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Consuming greasy foods may stimulate intestinal nerve excitation, leading to excessive intestinal reactions and resulting in symptoms like abdominal pain and diarrhea. It is recommended that patients take medications such as alverine citrate capsules or pinaverium bromide tablets under medical guidance, while also reducing intake of fried foods.

2. Gastritis

Gastritis refers to inflammation of the gastric mucosa, which may present with symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and bloating. Consumption of greasy foods may trigger or worsen symptoms of gastritis. It is recommended that patients take medications such as compound rennet enzyme capsules or bismuth potassium citrate tablets under medical supervision, and pay attention to dietary hygiene.

3. Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis is an inflammatory condition of the gallbladder, which may cause symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. After consuming fried foods, the gallbladder may be stimulated to contract, thereby exacerbating upper abdominal pain. It is recommended that patients take medications such as minocycline hydrochloride capsules or cefixime granules under medical guidance, and ensure adequate rest.

Besides the above three conditions, other possible causes include enteritis, gastric ulcers, gallstones, etc. Patients are advised to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment.
