How can a person tell if the have e coli in there rectum & what are the symptoms

Answer #1

From familydoctor.org:

The first sign is severe abdominal cramps that start suddenly. After a few hours, watery diarrhea starts. The diarrhea causes your body to lose fluids and electrolytes (dehydration). This makes you feel sick and tired. The watery diarrhea lasts for about a day. Then the diarrhea changes to bright red bloody stools. The infection makes sores in your intestines, so the stools become bloody. Bloody diarrhea lasts for 2 to 5 days. You might have 10 or more bowel movements a day. Some people say their stools are “all blood and no stool.”

You may have a mild fever or no fever. You may also have nausea or vomiting. If you have any of these symptoms – watery, bloody diarrhea, cramps, fever, nausea or vomiting – try to get to your doctor right away.
