Can a stomach bug go on this long? (tmi sorry)

I’m suspecting more Norovirus.

I vomited Saturday morning and started having diarrhoea not long after (we’re talking water, no bits at all).
I was sick through the day on Saturday and Sunday and vomited yesterday morning. I’m still having watery diarrhoea and have woken up feeling like I could be sick again. All I’ve eaten since I was sick on Saturday morning is two slices of toast and some ready salted crisps.
I’ve been sipping water but definitely not enough for the amount I’ve been getting rid of. I’ve also been drinking the SOS rehydration/ replacement sachets mixed with water.
Has anyone else had this recently? I’d love to have a formed poo and something to eat! When will it end?!

There is so much about at the moment it's hard to keep up. It sounds like a nasty bug, give it a couple more days, if you can tolerate any foods just make sure it's things that will bind your tummy together to hopefully get you doing a solid poo!! Bless you. Hope you feel better soon.
If it does carry on longer than a week then there's no harm in ringing the GP to see what they say, as long as you have no temp or anything it's most likely just as you said x
