2. Diarrhea
Diarrhea is one of the other most common symptoms that people with ischemic colitis will experience, and if diarrhea lasts for several hours at a time it almost always warrants an appointment with your doctor; it’s almost always considered to be an emergency condition for any doctor, and this is due to the fact that diarrhea is prone to cause extremely quick dehydration and the body will lose essential fluids much faster than they can replenish them without medical help.
If you are experiencing stomach pain, diarrhea, and a fever, it can sometimes just be a stomach infection – it might even be food poisoning if you can trace it back to a few hours after you ate something. When symptoms recur after this or get more severe, make a follow-up appointment with your doctor so they can screen for the potential of colitis: A simple test could save your life.
