advice pls-start taking immodium or suffer it out

[dietstartstmoz]

I have caught a yucky tummy bug off DS2. He was off colour for days then had mostly diarrhoea and a few vomiting episodes for 4 days. Now i have it. I have had diarrhoea since thurs night and still have it. My stomach is churning and i feel rotten but today i am able to get out of bed.
So should i start taking immodium or just let nature take its course? Never had it last this long before. The immodium leaflet says not to take if had symptoms for more than 48hrs.
Any medically knowledgeable people to advise? Thanks in desperation

I recently had a bug and just let nature take its course - took about four days. If you can avoid Imodium I would - could you get hydration sachets though? They really helped. I also only ate a banana and dry toast for a few days (after 24 hours of water only).

I'd give it another day - hopefully you will feel better by tmrw night.

Thanks. I hope so too. I have avoided immodium so far as i dont want to keep the germ in but its grim.

I would let nature take its course. Would not use immodium.

You could try some plain live yogurt or the yakult stuff to put the good bugs back
