Stomach cramps

[jammyredroo]

I've had a sore stomach most of the week. Bloating, constipation and pain. Last night I started with stomach cramps and diarrhoea. This morning I'm still the same. My stomach is churning and groaning and I feel a bit iffy.

I'm not sure if this is just an ibs flare up or could it be Covid? I've read other threads where people have started with it this way and tested positive.

Should I get tested to be on the safe side. I don't have any other symptoms.

It's how DP's covid started but there's so many other things it could be!

It feels almost like I've got a stomach bug but I don't want to waste resources going for a test. I don't have any other symptoms at all.

My DDs started that way as did my friends DD. Who knows, only a test will tell you. Please go get one that's why they exist.

My friends DH was admitted to hospital yesterday with pneumonia, coughing up blood. He has no underlying conditions and is fit

Please go get a test, don't think of it as a waste. Think of it as a way to protect everyone you are giong to come into contact with. They will thank you I'm sure.

Do it!

Appointment booked for half an hours time!

All done. I am really impressed with how quickly I got a test done. Here's hoping it is just ibs or a stomach bug.

Do report back OP - hopefully it is just a stomach issue.

I will report back. I've had stomach problems on and off for months but nothing like this.

Hope you feel better ASAP. Well done for getting the test you did the right thing

I ate some dinner but it's just set off the cramps again. I can't get warm and feel tired out.

I actually think it is just a stomach bug I've picked up from somewhere.

The diarrhoea seems to have stopped since last night 🤞I feel washed out and lethargic and my stomach at the upper left is constantly gurgling and noisy.
I'm expecting the test result to come back negative as I have no other Covid symptoms.

Negative test result.

That's good! Hope you feel better now.

excellent news ☺
