Food Poisoning or Something else?
Posted , 3 users are following.
So I've had diarrhea in the morning for about 5 days now, loss of appetite for 3 days, and I feel generally tired. I also get nauseous when I try to eat food but no vomiting. My doc has already done stool/blood tests, all came back ok. Now she is suggesting IBS but I don't have any stomach pain which is normally associated with IBS. I also haven't noticed any triggers or other IBS symptoms. The only thing I can wrap my mind around is food poisoning or stomach flu. If that's the case, how long will this last?

And drink enough water, no sugar and make sure you get minerals and vitamins since the diarrhea flushes all out.
And take a probiotic to help the good bacteria.

Don’t worry about it; these things clear up and are very common particularly during the winter months. Start with small sips of water, then if you keep that down, try sips of milk. It is important to keep hydrated as soon as you can. Stick to a very bland diet once you are able to eat. Avoid fruit for a week after diarrhoea and try bananas or rice to firm yourself up.

Hi, coffee can be very acid and hurt your stomach plus it is very dehydrating. If you got shaky after the coffee and food made it better then coffee could trigger stomach pain but I don't think 5 days of diarrhea. With a sensitive stomach I would 100% recommend staying away from coffee and caffeine in general..
