Did my DD have a stomach bug?

[Lalarara10]

On Thursday DD who is almost two went off her food and milk - ate her breakfast but nothing else and was a peaky. Friday morning she had one explosive nappy with very pale stool (sorry TMI).

Friday night my sister who is staying with us and spends lots of time with her starts being sick and by Saturday afternoon I’ve also got d&v.

is it possible my DD gave us the bug? Trying to work out if I need to try and protect her and not give it to her or if I can be more relaxed because she’s likely already had it. We can’t think where else we would have got it!

No way to know for sure but possible.

My DD once had similar symptoms - a couple of dodgy nappies and no appetite. She was looked after by my in laws that day (as part of regular childcare, we didn't know she was potentially ill in the morning). A couple of days later they, and DH, all started throwing up. They'd only had a few mins contact with each other when dropping off DD2, so realistically they all probably caught it from her rather than from each other or from some separate sources at the same time.

It's hard to keep away from a 1 year old when ill, so if she doesn't come down with anything in the next day or two, it was probably her who had it first.

Thanks for your reply @YellowHairband - it’s funny how they can get it mildly and yet it can be so savage for the adults!

All 4 people In my house this week have had a ‘bug’ and all presented slightly differently.

me - griping low stomach ache, explosive diarrhoea, sweats and chills, felt tearful and flat.

DS - all the above plus vomiting

DH - griping low stomach ache, acid stomach, indigestion, no appetite, sweats and chills, exhausted

DD - as per DH but no acid and very weepy/fed
up.

it would be too much of a coincidence to be varying bugs, I think we’ve all just had it in a different dose or handled it in a different way?

@Mykittensmittens - sorry you were all unwell, hope you’re all on the mend now! Definitely seems similar to what we’ve had going on here and there seems to be a lot going round at the moment!
