Could this be a "normal" stomach bug or something else??

Last Thursday morning, I woke up with stomach cramps, had breakfast, felt dizzy and unwell and then started having diarrhoea. It happened a lot that day and I made the mistake of bunging myself up with Immodium as had to do school run! Friday all day and night I felt terrible - no diarrhoea but terrible stomach cramps I'm sure caused by the Immodium! Eventually Saturday morning, I had my first BM since Thursday and still feeling tired and non-energetic but surprisingly still hungry. However, every time I ate, I had diarrhoea. This continued all weekend. Last night I felt bit better, ate something and this morning I am back to the diarrhoea. This is my 5th day. I am still able to eat OK - still actually feeling quite hungry - but it's like my stomach can't cope! I have also felt quite hot and definitely not as energetic as normal.

Does this sound like a bug or could it be something else that I need to see my GP about? Am just a bit surprised that I don't have nausea/vomitting and lack of appetite if it's just a bug!
Thanks

Could be food poisoning. I had similar symptoms both times I had that. I think it cleared up after about a week, but you could see your GP if you are worried
