Question:
Hello doctor,
The patient is 40 years old, 155cm tall, and weighs 40kg, with a frail physique. For the past 3 weeks, every time the patient eats boiled eggs, they experience diarrhea. Previously, the patient had good digestion, but this issue started after suffering from intestinal allergies due to a medication reaction. The patient also often feels bloated after eating boiled eggs. Can you provide advice on what should be done for diarrhea and bloating after eating boiled eggs? Thank you, doctor.

Dear,
Regarding your question: “What should be done for diarrhea and bloating after eating boiled eggs?” here is the doctor’s advice:
The symptoms described may indicate irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which can occur after a medication allergy. If there is no family history of stomach or colon cancer, no weight loss, and no blood in the stool, you can try probiotics and digestive enzymes. It is important to avoid foods that may cause abdominal pain or disrupt digestion.
If the patient has any of the conditions mentioned above, it is necessary to see a doctor to rule out any organic damage.
If you still have concerns about diarrhea and bloating after eating boiled eggs, you can visit the nearest healthcare facility or a hospital within the Vinmec Healthcare System for further examination and specialized advice.
Best regards!
