10 Symptoms of Angioedema
Symptom #6: Diarrhea
Diarrhea is the occurrence of three or more loose stools per day. It can last several days and result in dehydration, decreased urination, tachycardia, decreased responsiveness, loss of skin color, and more. Causes of diarrhea include infection of the intestines due to a viral, bacterial, or parasitic infection. It can also be caused by irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance, celiac disease, hyperthyroidism, and more.
Management of diarrhea may include oral rehydration solution, zinc tablets, intravenous fluids, and in some rare cases, antibiotics and loperamide. In hereditary angioedema, diarrhea is one of the symptoms seen in the recurrent episodes.
