Hi
I'm on my third day of gastroenteritis with diarrhea and vomiting and still feeling very poorly and lost several pounds in weight (not a stealth boast I look bloody terrible).
I had my bowel removed a few years ago due to ulcerative colitis and now find I dehydrate twice as fast as the bowel would normally reapsorb water.
Today when I when to take the kids downstairs for breakfast my lower back went. Never happened before but feels like spasms and now unable to sit or stand upright.
Does anyone know if these two are linked? Didn't want to attend GP as I'm sure I'm infectious.
Iv'e asked a friend to bring them home from school later.
Any ideas, should I wait it out with pain killers (Ibruprofen)? No way I can drive to A and E.
Thank you.
