HORRENDOUS BUG OR FOOD POISONING? HOW TO FEEL BETTER?

[Emmy-89]

So a few nights ago I had diarrhoea and vomiting and am really finding that the symptoms are dragging on. I keep getting waves of nausea and bouts of diarrhoea which is complicated further by the fact that I have IBS-D. Does anyone else find me that stomach bugs and food poisoning drag on when you have IBS? Do you find that anything helps? Any help and advise would be huwgely appreciated! I really want to get some sleep tonight 😞 Thanks for reading.

Have you contacted your Dr to see if he or she wants to order any tests? How about trying Pepto Bismol? It may help soothe whatever is causing this. Just make sure you are drinking enough fluids so you won’t get dehydrated.

Yes I've been to the doctor. She wasn't too concerned and just thinks it's a Timmy bug. I haven't tried pepto bismol but will check it out.

Hello

I'm going through the same thing at the minute, it had been going on since Monday.

Yesterday I started to drink turmeric tea so I hope it kicks in asap.

Feel better soon Emmy.

Hey Jimmy. Thanks I'm getting there slowly but still feeling off now and again. How are you now?

[Hidden in reply to Emmy-89]

I'm OK now, feeling normal again.

Hope it clears for you, it shouldn't take long for it to pass.

Ive not been vomitting but 5 days now ive had diarrhea and felt rubbish. Just cant seem to shift it. I cant wait to have a normal poo!

Tell me about it! Diarrhea is so draining! Hope your feeling better now! It can be hard to tell if you have a bug or just IBS flare up when you have IBS!

Only going once a day now but still not right! Really doing my head in
