A member asked:

My family had stomach bug 1 day apart. felt very ill first day.. felt more energy second day but continue with diarhea 4 days later... is it a bug?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Virus: This is consistent with a viral intestinal tract infection and the diarrhea and bloating can persist for several days more. Virus can be found in the stool in certain cases for weeks but diarrhea subsides before that. Avoid harsh roughage, drink adequate amounts of water and take kaopectate and especially imodium only as necessary.
