My family have the same symptoms for 5 days now?

Maybe contagious: Stomach aches plus looser stools can be from variety of causes. People usually see their doctors if symptoms are bad or if they last more than 1-2 days. When diarrhea first starts happening, a person can benefit by stopping eating and start just drinking small amounts (few ounces) of something like Pedialyte or half-strength Gatorade, every hour for one day. That should decrease the diarrhea.
