Is there a tummy bug doing the rounds? I’ve felt washed out, nauseous, tummy cramps , headache and loose stools for a couple of days now.

[CLKD]

There's always a bug of some sort doing the rounds.  Do U have contact with small children on a regular basis?

    I have iBS so veer from slow transit to sudden small motions on an ASAP basis.  Changing the clocks has the habit of making me feel tired and off colour 

[Elliebee]

No contact with small children only teenagers. Just feel washed out 😬

[CLKD]

I hate that feeling.  Keep to nothing other than sipping water for half a day to give the digestive tract a rest, boiled cooled water perhaps?  Keep an eye on the colour of your urine which should be pale straw - if dark then the body isn't hydrated enough.

Then migrate to dry toast or biscuits in the evening. 

My bowels would alter pre-period, within 10 mins I would have to 'run' or else  .  How bad are the cramps, R U doubled over?

[Elliebee]

I’m not feeling hungry and thought of food makes me feel sick. Cramping is like period pain and not horrendous. I’m at the end of my period (still light spotting) so it could all be linked to hormones? Feels like morning sickness. Yesterday morning I woke with a really anxious tummy and felt tearful all day.
Going to have a lazy day and hope I feel better tomorrow. I’m such a worrier so any change in bowel habits makes me think of bowel cancer! 😬

[CLKD]

It's The Change which includes heightened health anxiety.

If you are at the end of a bleed then yes, it is probably linked.  Certainly I suffered nausea, 'the runs' etc. throughout my menstruating years 

Get those feet up. Plenty of daytime 📺 to watch ;-) and keep hydrated.

Thank you CLKD. I fell reassured . Good advice from you as always. Hormones have so much to answer for !!

* feel not fell 🤣

[CLKD]

How has your day been?

[Elliebee]

Hi CLKD not too bad. Tummy cramps easing . Just hope I don’t wake up with morning anxiety and anxious tummy feeling.

[Kelloggs]

Hi Ellie… YES!! I’ve just had this bug too and it’s really awful.. felt really sick for a day or two and then terrible runs.. like I’ve never had before.. last a few days and I’m absolutely fine again now..
Hope you are feeling better.. but yep.. def a rank bug going around! X

[Elliebee]

Thank you Kellogg’s. Glad you’re feeling better. I’m starting to feel a bit more normal. Tummy still feels sensitive.

[Kelloggs]

I had the same.. give it another day or two and you’ll hopefully be back to your best.. x

I've been run down similarly, but for about 10 days and hence not on here, no energy.

Quite severe headaches and nausea, mild nausea, but after getting it randomly for ten days it grates.  Thankfully it's been gone for 3 days now   

Some friends said it was a bug going around.  Others said they'd heard it was covid.  I did a few tests, one was positive but others around it were negative so I'm not sure. And the red line, when I got it, was faint.
