A member asked:
Diarrhea on and off and have also been getting really awful acid reflux. is this normal after a stomach bug/food poisoning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Viral infections of the GI tract can alter motility for several weeks following resolution of the acute illness. Over the counter acid reflux medications can help in the short term. If the symptoms persist or are interfering with work or overall well being, seek advice from your primary care doctor.
