I'm not the poo troll, I promise! I've been back from Egypt for a week now, couple of days before I came home I got a very dodgy stomach, no pain but chronic diarrhoea. I just took it as that's what happens. Anyway, 9 days later and I'm still crapping through the eye of a needle, it's like water 🤮. I don't feel unwell through it, it's just more inconvenient.
I'm not registered with a doctor as I'm very seldom ill but I'm wondering when is it time to go? Would you go now or just ride this out?

You need a registered GP whether you are generally healthy or not. You cannot access routine screening if you are under the radar. Get a GP appointment and get a stool sample sent off. May just be traveller's diarrhoea but after a week, likely to be some kind of food related bacterial infection.

Yes Dr appt. Phone consultation might be ok.

Drink lots to avoid dehydration in meantime with dioralyte (as I expect you know already Wink)

Thanks both. Hopefully by the time I register and get an appointment it would've cleared up 👍🏻
