Tummy problems... apologies!

[beckaboo]

I've had a bad tummy since Thursday evening... very loose bowels (its yellow too), some cramping, bad farts & lots of belly rumbling (tmi I know) but no sickness or nausea...
There doesn't appear to be anything in particular that sets it off, some food I'm ok with & if anything liquids make me erm... more liquid!!! I had my gallbladder removed last year & I've noticed my bowels haven't been great since but this is the worst it's been!
How long do I leave it before seeing the docs? I've tried Imodium but its not helping & it says you shouldn't take it for more than 24-48 hours!!!

Go tomorrow, or now if you can. It takes 5 days for a stool sample to come back from the path lab x

keep your fluids up, try to take some dioralyte to balance your salts and speak to your gp .... a bug like this can take a week or so to sort itself out ...

Thank you both!!! Sipping loads of fluids & got some bananas, rice & apples to do the BRAT diet.
Paula, seen you've been having troubles too, have they got any idea what's causing yours? x
