possable stomach bug
 

I think i have a stomach bug ...yesterday i was fine up until 5pm started to get a sore stomach then diarrhea its been almost 24 hours since the last things i ate because i thought it would be better to not eat if am like this .
Am drinking lots of water trying to flush this thing out my system .
But so far nothing is helping . my stomach is still really sore and am still having diarrhea .
Unsure what else to do now have taken anti diarrhea tablets but they didnt help either .

Drinking loads to 'flush things out of your system' only works if it's a urinary tract infection (water infection/ bladder infection/ to some degree a kidney infection). This won't get rid of diarrhoea any quicker. Really with diarrhoea though you do have to make sure you drink plenty as you will lose quite a lot of fluids. The best thing to do is buy rehydration sachets (most common brand name is Diorralyte) which yo mix with water and they will rehydrate you and help you to keep hydrated. They have everything in them that you're losing most from the diarrhoea and therefore helps your body to stay stronger and helps to fight it off better. Plain water is better than nothing but it is by no means the best option.

Really, with diarrhoea it could be anything thats set it off from food poisoning to an infection or parasite to your guts just being a bit inflamed and you may develop sickness but may not. If you start getting dark blood in it or a lot of bright red blood then you need to see a doctor as well as if it's been going on for more than a few days. Really most cases are just due to the lining being a bit inflamed, theres no known case and it will just fade back to normal within a few days though this can take weeks.

Don't eat any red meat or anything like curry or rich foods as they're harder to digest and put more stress on your guts. Chicken, white fish, pasta, rice, scrambled egg will be better.

Also, I'd advice you to carry on with anti-diarrhoea tablets as they may help more after the first couple of doses if taken regularly.

If it gets really bad then go to the doctors and they can look into it further and can also give you stronger meds to help stop the diarrhoea. But yep, keeping yourself properly hydrated is the most important part as it means you're not going to get as ill from it and you're also more likely to recovery a bit quicker as your body will be in a better condition to fight it off if it is caused by a bug.
