Stomach bug

[Holidayyys]

Woke up fine this morning and went swimming. My stomach started to feel tender on drive home and I've been attached to the toilet since 8am with diarrohea. No sickness but awful griping tummy pains. Took some immodium a few hours ago and got some respite for an hour and a half. But its back and is now bright yellow. Should I be concerned?

I had bright yellow diarrhoea with covid, so it might be worth testing if you can (but I actually only tested positive on day 4). This sounds horrible though, and I hope you feel better soon.

I had the exact same thing happen on Monday in the awful heat. Appeared out of nowhere. I'm still pretty rough but having eaten a very bland diet all week, today has seen an improvement. I was really concerned yesterday though so I called the gp and I'm doing a sample on Monday to make sure it's nothing to worry about.

Oh btw, gp said not to take immodium with stomach bugs as it can prolong things or just make you vomit instead. Hope you're feeling better soon.

@HorseGallopingOnATomato I had covid 2 weeks ago so wouldnt have thought it was that.
@CreatingHavoc oh I never knew not to take it. It seems to have done the trick and eased off a bit though. Urgh almost a week of it doesn't sound pleasant. Glad you seem to be on the mend though.

@Holidayyys it's not been as bad as it was on Monday all week but still definitely not right. I don't know whether the problem is that I've not eaten properly all week or if I'm still ill at this point :/ stomach is still very much not happy though.
