Help.

Sunday my body was aching so bad however I shrugged this off as I thought I over worked the previous day - Monday and Monday night I was non stop shivering and I had bad headaches as well as diarrhoea - I concluded I had the stomach flu. It's now Wednesday no headaches or fever symptoms just a tender stomach, stomach cramps from time to time, and horrid stools. My stools are very running and like a green/yellow colour when I wipe. Once occasion it was a dark dark brown on the Tuesday I think and since then yellow/green. It was also a pale pink colour too but only after one stool. I'm not going to the toilet as often as I was a couple days ago however I'm still a little worried and not sure what to do or even eat as I don't want to make it worse. Any help would be so grateful.

This actually happened to me Sunday into Monday . My stool is yellow and was geenish yesterday. My tummy is rumbling now . But I threw up on Monday morning also had a fever and body aches . Feeling a little better now . But I have to tell you that I'm worried something else other then ibs has been wrong with me . But they say I'm to young for this and that . And to stop worrying but it's hard.

Yours sounds like a bug not ibs

Bland foods to eat, so, rice, banana, potato. Try taking an actimel that may help as you may have had a bug so need to get good bacteria back into your stomach

I had an issue in June with swollen lymph nodes my small intestine . I was very sick with a high fever had lots of D and lost 20 lbs . I have struggled to get myself back to normal. They said based of symptoms I have ibs . I've had stool samples and blood test done . My GI doctor said she doesn't feel the need to do a colonoscopy. But I never really have a brown bowel movement. However I do believe I had a bug on Monday.
