A member asked:

I am having fatigue, loss of appetite, weakness, sneezing a lot, and most importantly 10 plus bowels a day of only diarrhea for at least 9 days straight. no medicines or anything are helping. i cant see my primary doctor for a week. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

9 days is too long: Normal, healthy, young adults can get the stomach flu or food poisoning symptoms from time to time. A patient will usually vomit and have diarrhea until her stomach is all empty, and then start to get better. However, more than 2-3 days of symptoms, or even 1-2 days of bad symptoms, means a visit to the doctor. At 9 days, some lab tests may be needed. Sometimes an ER visit may be needed.
