Stomach problems as symptom?

10 replies

Have had terrible stomach cramps, diarrhoea and nausea for 5 days now. With a headache on and off. Feeling shakey. Has anyone had just these symptoms and tested positive?

I have had a test this morning (at request of Zoe app) so will get my results in the next 72 hours.

Working from home and not going out so that is not an issue.

The only reason I'm asking is my Dad has dementia, in a care home and tested positive. He's not very well at all and have been told to expect a call.

Just want to prepare myself if I can't go in and say goodbye.

Yes! Me. All of those for five days then tested positive. No fever no cough no taste/smell change. Get a test and isolate till your results are available.

So sorry about your dad. How awful. Really hope you don’t have it and can see him xx

Yes, a neighbour had a positive test with just gastric symptoms.

So sorry to hear about your Dad.

Yes I had all of those symptoms along with body aches and shivers so it could well be.

Wishing your DF well too, that's very hard.

Yes me I had exactly these and I’m
Positive

Yes, someone I know had the exact same symptoms for the past week and has now tested positive.

Thank you. Will wait now for my results.

Did you get your results? I'm having the exact same symptoms now and waiting on my result. I'm pretty sure I've just got some kind of stomach bug or ibs flare up though.

Yes - my results came back negative. Probably took nearly 2 weeks to feel completely better though. Normally have a caste iron stomach so it threw me for a while.

Glad you were negative. Mine came back negative too. So I've either picked up a bug, am having an ibs flare up or something else!
