I had gastroenteritis (diarrhea no committing) for 5 days. I was better 3 days ago and started eating again gradually. I still have quite soft stools though. Is this normal after a bug?

    Hi

    Yes it's because of the unbalance in your colon From the Gastritis which can last for a week or more

    Buy some probiotic drinks from acdupetmarket or wherever you shop and that will get the good bacteria into your system again to give it a kickstart hope you feel better soon

    Take care

    Nope wasn't on antibiotics before the bug. Hoping it's just a sensitive gut trying to sort itself out. Do you think taking Imodium will cause a prob? Or just help to make it better?
