How long after viral gastroenteritis leaves the body does it take to have normal bm?

Not sure: If viral problem is solved it may settle soon. Try going to the pharmacy and getting a good 10 billion or more dose bottle of probiotics. It is over the counter and should help stabelize your digestive system.
