Since i have had gastointitus, i have been poohing roughly 8 times a day... is this normal and i'm constantly feeling sick and on anti sickness meds?

Gastroenteritis: Gastroenteritis is usually caused by a virus or food poisoning, is self limiting and should clear after a week or so. Your symptoms are not under control. For a short time slow down your bm's with kaopectate or imodium (loperamide). Follow a bland diet low in harsh roughage and if symptoms persist, have an evaluation by your pcp or gastroenterologist.
