I'm on day 3. Day 1 was really bad. I am so much better but still have issues. I think it's norovirus, idk. Day 1 I almost went to hospital bc I felt so dehydrated.....pure water diarrhea and threw up 2 times. Happened quick at night. Now, leaky butt at night, water diarrhea, no appetite, no fever and my tummy feels, somewhat, bloated. I took pepto in the middle of the night but also read pepto can slow down recovery to get the virus out of my system, if that's what I have. Any other suggestions? Then I wonder if I have something else and not a virus...maybe there is a problem....idk.

I had your exact symptoms last week. Lasted 5 solid days for me. I took cipro and it helped. Every stool culture including noroviris was negative.
So hard on a holiday weekend...maybe it will pass. If not, I'm sure I'll end up in er and try to get antibiotics
Antibiotics are not helpful for norovirus. Many of us are trusted by our doctors to have antibiotics on hand to promptly treat pouchitis when it occurs. The presumption is that we’ll use them wisely.
I'm certainly taking a stab at norovirus, just based on symptoms. Definitely ready for it to be over
Cleared up after 5 days. As always, thank you for your support ❤️
