Upset stomach with virus

4 replies

Tinks15 · 19/02/2026 09:06

I came down with a virus 5th Feb started off generally just not feeling right, turned into a temperature, fatigue, loss of appetite, couldn’t quite taste/smell as usual then upset tummy with cramping & tummy making all sorts of noises & then eventually turned into a bit of a head cold. I haven’t felt 100% since it all started however I do feel as though I am getting better. Although, I’ve still having an upset tummy & nothing has improved much in that department.

Has anyone had anything similar to this? Or can share some advice?

Thanks

Could be a touch of flu

Avoid dairy for a bit..that can often exacerbate toilet issues for a while after a virus. Are you taking decongestants? They can also cause stomach upsets…

Drink plenty of fluids, rest while you can.
