Hello everyone!
6 days ago (Monday) I contracted what I think is a stomach bug. It started with cramps that prompted me to go use the bathroom. At first the stool was a bit watery but still solid. The next day (Tuesday), it changed into diarrhea and it continued like that for 2 more days. I also had fever and chills. The thermometer showed around 38.4 Celsius. Lack of apetite was also a symptom. On Thursday both the cramps and the diarrhea were mostly gone. So was the fever. Stools are now almost solid. Mucus might be present though.
However, everytime I eat a more consistent meal (more than a few slices of baked bread) I feel a big cramp, from the bottom of my chest going all the way go the anus, with a powerful urge to go to the toilet. It's been 3 days since this started and it is really annoying, moreso that I am on vacation...
Should I be worried about this? Is this a sign of an underlying issue or is it just part of the recovery from what I think was a stomach flu? Is my body struggling to get back to how it used to be? Can I help it with any medicine?
To help me through the stomach flu, I took Imodium (around 4 pills), Trimebutine and some supplements made of blueberry extract.
I still take trimebutine, and I tend to panic so seeing the cramps after eating, I took 3 more Imodium over the course of 2 days.
Thank you!
