Accepted Answer

Gastroenteritis: 14 days with gastro? Are you sure of your diagnosis? Usually simple &quot;stomach bugs&quot; don&#x27;t last that long. My usual recommendation is to push fluids for the first 24 hrs, then when adding food back to follow &quot;BRAT&quot; diet for another 24-48 hrs. I suggest a visit to your doctor for a thorough assessment of what is going on.  Good luck!
