A member asked:

Is it normal to have the stomach flu with vomiting lasting 2 days but severe diarrhea for a week following? what are some things to relieve it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diarrhea: It is not uncommon to have diarrhea lasting after the nausea and vomiting have abated. Try a brat diet (banana, rice, apple sauce, tea toast), avoid dairy for the next few weeks as well as raw fruits and vegetables.
