All started 5 days ago, Went to bed and 1 minute I was burning up, then I was freezing cold, woke up, heavy head and neck and stomach distress!

Constant visits to the porcelain throne, feel like I need to go, but hardly anything comes out of me, I've had this sickly feeling non-stop in my gut and uncomfortableness around my belly button area, when I have eaten Im having to dash off to the toilet - very gassy tiny stools and rabbit pellet types??? I've drunk loads of water, tried some boiled veg and fibre but nothing seems to be helping, Can't empty my bowels, its like having constipation and diarrhoea at the same time, hardly any gas I've noticed but I feel bloated. I've been stuck indoors all day ever since it started and I don't want to eat and drink as not sure whats helping and what isn't. Also can't get to the doctor as feel like I need to be near the toilet all the time

I've had upset belly before but never lasted this long, I went to the docs last month regarding bad diarrhoea and had a stool test with nothing showing but this seems to be the opposite of that, also very uncomfortable lying down, better sitting down or with knees up to chest.

sorry to ramble just feel so fed up with it all!!1

    If you have a virus, there isn't much you can do but wait it out until it goes away. Viruses don't respond to antibiotics. Your doctor will tell you this

    Thing is I think it all depends on the problem as I've read a few articles which say don't have dairy., others say have a probiotic, some say the opposite

    So day 7 and I feel slightly better but still getting intermittent stomach pain and my stomach feels heavy and bruised, stools still very furry and float, been on a bland diet, lots of water, started passing a bit of wind last 2 days as had none b4, been on metranazidole for 3 days now... I've always had trouble with my bowels. Had blood test yesterday but never heard back today, which I hope is a good thing. Heavy foods do seem to prompt an immediate visit to the bathroom though
