Has anyone experienced this awful gastroenteritis that's around at present. This is week 3 for me and I can't get it to clear up. Saw my doc at week 2 and she said it would just take it's course. I keep getting the diarrhoea and stomach pains back when I think it's gone. When will it end I'm so fed up!! 😤😟😟. Ruthy1960

Were you vomiting or just D? If you've been having problems for three weeks it's probably not the virus anymore but your bowels having a hissy fit about it. This happens to me, I get a bug, am ill a few days and then it takes weeks for my bowels to settle. I got a bug in October and I'm still struggling although it's gotten a little better recently. Try some probiotics if you haven't already.

Hi, I was vomiting on day one but not since then. Just stomach cramps and diarrhoea. We have probiotic yoghurt, will try some when I get eating again. Thanks 😊
