I have been extremely tired the last 3 days. Last night I had nausea and a temp of 101.2. My stools were also a bit loose. Now this am ,I have no nausea or temp, but gone to bathroom with stomach pains with some formed stool and diarrhea. What do you all think ? Virus or flare ? I'm scared !

I forgot to mention in the last 3 hours I have had this semi-formed diarrhea mix about 6-8 times :0(

It's always so hard to tell. Unfortunately, sometimes you just have to wait it out to see. I know for me, there is a distinct urgency with my flares that isn't there with a bug

I'd wager it's just a stomach flu. We can still get sick, just like normal folks can. I'd give it a week and see if it clears up, if not then contact your gastroenterologist. If you saw blood then I might be more concerned about a flare.

Sounds like a gastro bug whether it be viral, bacterial or whatever.....if you do have rectal meds, start them nightly. That's just to help your butt from reacting to possibly trigger a flare.

Start probiotics, and mix some in water or just empty one or two in your mouth to go through your stomach.

Feel better soon,
