I went to my doctor on Weds....they just told me to coolect some stool samples and gave me a cup. I called today...they said I have to wait till Tuesday for the results🙁 Ah man, I keep waking up thinking my diarhhea is gone, because my stools are normal, but as teh day progresses, it comes back🙁 Today, I woke up with the worst stoamch ache. It got me out of baed at 3 AM🙁 The stools were normal, but I still got my staomch ache after i went. I went again in about 2 hours and I still had a stoamch ache. Then, at around 9, I went again and low and behold, loose stools🙁 The doctors keep telling me that I have gastroenteritis, but i read up on it an dthey said it usally lasts 7 days, however, I have had it for 10 days🙁 To make matters even worse, I have my high school graduation today and my g/f's prom🙁 Today is gonna suck
 
dude, I hope you make it through the day okay... just try and ignore it, and let your g/f know beforehand so she'll understand if you take off running for the bathroom.
 
Aw. 🙁 Have you tried taking anything for your tummy such as pepto? It may also be diet related (ask your doc). Try eating balanced meals and nothing too harsh or spicey. Substitute juice or water for soda and cutdown on sugar.
 
my doctor just called and told me that one of my samples came back and that it said I had no blood in my stools. I guess that's a good thing. She told me to eat constipating foods. Can you guys tell what foods are constipating besides rice and banannas? She also told me to stay away from milk based foods.....oops, I had yogurt last night because the doctor before her told me that I might wanted to take some yogourt because it had bactetrial clutures that could help me😱

That explains my big stamch ache this morning. Also, is lettuce a good thing to eat?
 
You probably want to ask your doctor what foods would be best to eat to firm up stools. Is she a general practitioner? You might want to consider consulting an gastrointestinal specialist if this continues for much longer.
 
i tried immodium, it worked well, a little too well. At the end of teh night, I was so constiapted, I felt like I was gonna explode🙁 The immodium still has not even worn off yet :Q
