Hello all. First allow me to say this. At times in my life, I've had the Stomach Flu where I'd have diarrhea, nausea for a couple days and then it would go away. I've hard random days and nights where I may have a little indigestion and heartburn. These day were few and far in between, sometimes I'd take an Alka Seltzer and everything would be OK. Things are a big different this time. Around last Thursday, I had a "bubbly stomach" and headache driving to work. It was fine once I got to work, but when I returned home, I had th same symptoms again. A bubbly stomach with a slight headache. No real nausea or anything. I assumed that I must've just had some mild stomach blu or bug. Well, a week has passed and I'm having the same symptoms (bubbly stomach, diarrhea, slight headache, and at different times, heartburn). It doesnt feel as bad as when I have the stomach flu, but it's been a constant nag of these symptoms (frequent urination too, and I drink a lot of fluids). Does this sound similar to anything you guys might have been through. I have no idea if I should tech meds and wait it out or does it sound like I need to professional medical attention? Tonight is even the first time I bought anything to take for it, because the heartburn was really bad. I took 2 Alka Seltzers and the heartburn is gone, but my stomach still feels hot and I have diarrhea still

    Sorry I left this out, but I've felt fatigue and sluggish too.

    Hi, this does sound familiar, although relatively mild? From the way you are talking about it ? I would speak to a doctor, ongoing digestive problem should be investigated I think. They might be able to give you a better strategy for dealing with it or just reassurance that nothing serious is wrong.

    How long have you had these symptoms? If longer than a week, see your doctor.  Frequent urination could be either an infection or the result of you drinking lots of fluids. What you have could be many things.

    Hi jay.ceega, I was always told changes in bowel habits warranted further investigations so see your doctor, you just need to know what it is

    Good luck. 🤞
