A member asked:
Is it possible to have the stomach bug and just have diarrhea ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: The stomach bug usually involves both the symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting. Diarrhea alone would increase the possible causes. If this doesn't resolve see your doctor with a stool sample. All the best. Careful hand hygiene.

Yes: Most people with gastroenteritis have both vomiting and diarrhea. However, one can present with just one of those problems. REF: https://badgut.org/information-centre/a-z-digestive-topics/gastroenteritis/
