Can overeating cause vomiting and diarrhea?
After a very heavy meal yesterday, I woke up feeling really sick. I had both vomiting and diarrhea multiple times. Can just overeating cause such severe symptoms?

While eating too much can upset your stomach, having both vomiting and diarrhea usually points to food poisoning or a stomach infection. Please monitor your hydration and consult a doctor if the symptoms persist for more than a day.

Actually, overeating can cause bad acidity, but getting loose motions and vomiting together sounds like food infection yaar. Better stick to ORS water and curd rice for now, and see a doctor if it doesn't stop.

Your stomach is basically throwing a double protest from both exits! It happens when we go crazy at a wedding buffet, but if it's too frequent, it's definitely a bug. Sip on some coconut water and let your belly rest.

Yes, it can happen if the food was too heavy or stale. Please drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.

If both symptoms are active, your body is losing fluids and electrolytes very fast. Track your water intake and try to drink coconut water or salt-sugar solution. If you feel dizzy, skip the home remedies and consult a doctor.

Look, eating too much might cause heavy bloating or mild vomit, but loose motions mean the food was bad. Stop eating solid food for a few hours. Drink ORS, and if you feel weaker, go to a clinic immediately.
