Please help, virus worries

[Pudding]

Please help me, this is going to sound ridiculous but I have had a tummy bug, diarrhea only since last Tuesday. I’ve been up at night with it until Saturday, suddenly it all seemed to stop and I was so relieved…..then after eating next to nothing except BRAT diet all week I had a little more yesterday, just some chicken and potato. This morning I had watery D yet again which totally freaked me out that it had come back. I’m frightened now that it’s not a virus and that something else is wrong. I have felt off colour with it as you’d expect and the final days I was light headed likely dehydration which has improved a bit and I feel a bit weak. Please tell me this is not unusual, I’m terrified I’m going to be up in the night again. I know of no one with a bug and I barely go out so goodness knows where I’ve caught it, is there a bug going round.

Totally normal. It can take the guy forever to settle down after a bug (it does mine!) we’ve had plenty of occasions where one person in our house goes down with something from god knows where and no one else catches it. It’s not unusual. Get some rehydration salts and small amounts of bland food until you can tolerate more. Obviously if you feel very unwell contact your doctor x

And I say that not because I think there’s anything wrong only in case you have an infection you might need help with. It won’t be anything major x
