I am Dr Shareef answering your query.If I were your physician, I would advise your boyfriend for a general clinical examination of the abdomen, routine stool test for ova and cyst, a liver function test, and an ultrasound abdomen if considered essential by depending on the clinical and investigative finding. Till that I would advise him some anti emetic, a proton pump inhibitor, a probiotic, and an anti spasmodic if need be. He should also go for a high fiber diet and enough liquids if tolerated by him and completely avoid food from outside. Further management would depend  on the clinical findings and investigation reports.I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
