Could this be a bug?

I’ve felt really weird all week with a bloated, gurgling stomach. Lots of gas and some diarrhoea (sorry if TMI). The weird thing is I haven’t felt unwell as such, and my appetite has been fine so I’ve been eating normally but then I’ve had times where I’ve had the most horrendous cramps and diarrhoea after a big meal. Other than this it just feels a bit uncomfortable. It’s been going on since Sunday now which seems like a long time for a standard tummy bug.

Dd who goes to nursery has some loose poos last week and that lasted quite a few days without any other signs of illness so I’m wondering if it’s the same thing.

I don’t generally suffer from IBS issues although google tells me that’s exactly what it sounds like. Anyone else have any ideas? How long would you leave it before seeking medical advice?

I'd eat bland for 24 hours and see if it settles

I’ve had a tummy bug a bit like this before, think it means the infection is in your colon and diarrhoea is how your body is dealing with it. Especially as dd had the same symptoms. You could try eating lighter easier to digest foods like soups etc for a few days to see if that helps avoid the cramps?

Yes probably a bug. It can go on for a while.
