How long is "long enough" for Diarrhea...?


Question:
Slight nasea afternoon of Day1, Extreme cramping in upper bowels evening of day one. I didnt think anything to much cause it felt like gas or thought maybe the peach I ate that morning might have been bad. Day2 more naseaus and cramping nothing coming out either end, took some pepto for the naseau. Ate lunch and within 30 min was hurting severly, still in the upper regions. Went home and around 6PM had diarrhea every 20 min till 9pm. Took Immodium, 3 of them within 5 hrs, this slowed it down didn't stop it. Day3 feeling better and pain settling at the bottom, still have diarrhea but accompioned with gas and acid reflux. Have felt like throwing up but havent. ("Blessed" with being very rare to vomit). 33hr car drive Day 3&4, went every hr day 4. Day 5 No stomach Pain, Diarrhea "only" 6 times all day. Since the OTC meds didnt work the 2nd day I havent taken them again. Wondering if this sounds like an infection? Feeling better, should I just wait till it out till Fri or go to DR?

Answers:
Go to your doctor, Most likely It will go away being a bug, but at least the doctor can detect if its not something serious. I found that drinking pedialyte is a good way to rehydrate yourself.

Other Answers:
Your diarrhea sounds serious. Could be many things wrong with you. IBS, Chrones Disease, Spastic Colon. Need to check with your doctor even if you are feeling better.
Go To The Doctor!
Good Luck!
