Is it normal to have prolonged diarrhea? It's been 6 days!?

Question:

Sorry for such a nasy question but I just wanted to know if this normal? Everytime I eat less then ten minutes later I'm running to the bathroom. I hate the bubble guts!!

Answers:
First you need to determine the cause of the diarrhea. It could be related to food, colitis, or an infection, such as amoebiasis or even from intestinal worms. You would be well advised to visit your doctor, but try paregoric to slow it down and make sure you keep up your fluid intake....fruit juices, and such. Do not eat fresh fruit as it may aggravate the problem. A simple OTC drug called Gax-X will reduced the amount of gas. However do see a physician.

its not normal for 6 days...are there any other symptoms besides the diarrhea and bubbly stomach? you might want to get it checked out as this whole e-coli thing is affecting more and more ppl. go to webmd or one of those online doctor sites and type in your symptoms they can give you a generalized answer but it may be necessary for you to see a doctor.
