Me and my sister both have what ever this stomach thing is im 16 shes 14. mine has been going on for about a month and a half shehas had it for about 2 weeks we have both been out of school bucause we dont want to risk anyone else getting sick and cant keep food down for longer than a half an hour mine has come and gone but i have also been very lightheaded, I had a sharp pearcing in my right ear for about a weeek and, headaches for a week. My sister hasn't had any of the other symptoms. Niether of us have dieareha or a fever and it is worse in the morning, through out the day it gets a little better the pains seem to subside and we can keep food down for longer but it still comes back up. My mom thinks that w are faking all of this because we get emotional but the only reason for the over emotions is because I JUST WANT IT GONE!!!!!! My dad had a 2 day thing wil chills sweats and deareha but he was fine after that. If antone gets any feedback please tell us.
It has been almost 1 month and I have the same symptoms, mostly I am nauseas however I feel like I have flu like symptoms. I have absolutely no energy and very little appetite. I am 39 and in great condition, but whatever this is has me second guessing what my doctors are saying. I hope whatever this is goes away soon.
Have you had your stool tested because your symptoms sound like you may have a parasitic infection such as giardia parasite. I'm not a doctor, but I am familiar with the symptoms of parasites because myself and four of my children were infected several years ago.
yea we did get it tested its all better now i found out it was major acid reflux and my sister is gluten intolerent and lactose in tolerent
Have your water tested. Often times stomach ailments can be caused by bacteria in your water source...especially for those with well water
Stomach bug for one month now....very much the same as other posts. I work in a school and it keeps circulating.
It seems to get worse with protein foods..meat, cheese....
Just read the research about round up and Monsanto.....contaminating our food supply.....the feed for livestock...contaminated monsanto corn....They know that this feed creates inflammation in the stomach of pigs....then we eat the meat....gastrointestinal problems...gastroenteritis....there is something going here on a very large scale...
I too am having the exact same issues for a month went to the er last night nobody seems to know what it is or whats wrong
I currently have these EXACT symptoms. Are you feeling better now?
Did you ever get any answers? I've been sick for over 3 weeks. It all started with cramps and diarrhea,now in the last 8 days It's gotten worse been to the doctor and had tests done but they couldn't really help me,in the last 2 days I've been throwing up bile and had serious diarrhea,last night was the worst serious stomach cramping a puking,I feel better during the day but not for long,if you find anything out I'd really appreciate it.
YES I HAD A STOMACH FLU TEN YEARS AGO LASTED OVER A MONTH. LOST ABOUT 15 LBS DIDN'T THINK I'D EVER GET BETTER
I THINK I HAVE IT AGAIN, HAVE BEEN ILL FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS SO FAR, IT COMES AND GOES NOT A FULL BLOWN SICKNESS JUST FEEL CRAPPY OTHER TIMES I FEEL OK, NO THROWING UP JUST NAUSEA AND NO DIARRHEA FOR 2 WEEKS NOW
I have had this for over 4 months. Just terrible. Six months? OMG! So debilitating.
So glad to find this thread. I have been dealing with a stomach virus now for over a month. All my blood tests come back prefect and they can't figure out what is wrong with me. Also I'll start to feel better and then i'll feel crappy all over again. The worse part is I get really depressed and anxious which is not like me at all. I believe that this stomach thing I have going on is a result of a cold I had last winter. I believe it was a virus and it turned into a stomach thing. I had this last March and I went to the hospital and they couldn't find anything wrong with me. Eventually it went away within the week but now this time it's taking over a month to go away. I have started taking probiotics and digestive enzymes which have helped. But it still comes and goes. I feel the worse part is the feeling i'm never going to be normal again. Like it's never going to leave my body.
Are you better yet? I've had this horrible thing for 8 days. It seems to hit in waves and I can't eat any solid food with being in terrible pain. I was also given probiotics and Zofran for nausea, also Bentyl to "relax" my stomach- and I can tell as soon as it's time to take another pill. I had no idea a virus could last so long, I've already lost 5 lbs but it's very hard to go to work and to be normal.
My family have had bouts of recurring stomach virus for many years but it is more frequent in the last year or two. I have had symptoms on and off for months at times. I do think it is viral because of the type of symptoms and the fact that often we get symptoms at the same time or one after the other. Sometimes I get dizziness as well, at the moment I have mild stomach symptoms and am too dizzy to go to work.
Symptoms seem to get milder so that the adults now hardly ever vomit but get the other symptoms, our youngest still sometimes gets vomiting and temperature at the beginning. I think that it is possible the virus may become dormant in the bowel for indefinite periods and recur if one gets stressed or run down. There is some speculation in research about this possibility, but I agree that more research is required as i think more and more people are complaining about similar repeating illness. Possibly the viruses adapt to our immune responses and get harder to shake off.

It's been a month now that I've had a stomach bug. It went away for 2 days the beginning of the week. So great. Then came right back! Nausea, upper tummy pain, watery stools mixed with constipation (?), chills, weight loss ( 5 lbs !) This is going ON AND ON ! When will this darn bug go away??
