Increased monocytes: If your notation ""14.5 Mono" refers to monocytes increased in your blood, you should consult your healthcare provider for advice. You may also have a vitamin deficiency. Influenza can produce diarrhea and gastrointestinal symptoms, but monocytes may also represent other blood diseases.

Diarrhea, weightloss: Three weeks of diarrhea can certainly cause you to lose weight, for which you should be seen by your doctor. You should modify your diet to avoid dairy products, sugar drinks, etc. and easy to digest foods such as yogurt, soups, crackers and meat broths and probiotics. Gradually advance diet as tolerated.
