[|Human|] Every month or so my 13 year old son gets major diarrhea and vomits once. He does not run a fever during this time. He also complains of having a rotten egg taste in his mouth or of burping rotten egg taste. What is this and why does it keep recurring?
[|AI|]  Dear user about your question I would like to tell you that recurrent diarrhea has some causes in this age of your son.......allergy to food cause the intestinal movement to increase rapidly so causing diarrhea and vomiting.......so you should notice if there is food that if he eats symptoms increase to avoid that food second if your son had intestinal infection of the past or had severe gastroenteritis that may cause damage to intestinal epithelium and so digestion and recurrent diarrhea occur, and it will need some time to improve gradually as it is self limited if your son eat unhealthy food or fatty food or spicy food that may cause these symptoms also you should do stool culture for him and tidal test to detect if there is salmonella infection causing typhoid or another intestinal infections the intestinal infection viral or bacterial should be managed to end of this problem hope that helps you wish you and your son happy life
