came down with a crummy virus and my stools were a strange color, had respiratory problems and still have some GERD.

would love to have some help but nobody would see me so got an app't for march 27th. a pharmacist from India (I could tell from his accent) helped me more than my doctor's office.

Just get me in, get my co-pay, charge my insurance and have me drive for 45 minutes. hope i get to cancel out. and i will of course say ... HAVE A NICE DAY and only give them 24 hours notice.

Some viruses can last awhile. What color were your stools? If they were yellow, it could just be that your food is be passed very quickly through your GI tract, from the virus. Try to eat yogurt and take a good probiotic. The virus may have destroyed some of your good bacteria in your intestines.
