I'm freaking out! The news said that a new strain of Noro has been discovered and its just hit the west coast and is lasting 3-5 days and the cramps and v* are more intense than the regular strain. I...

It has to be bleach. Lysol or clorox wipes do not work. A lysol spray or a bleach spray is fine. the sv can live on surfaces for up to two weeks so your mom could have picked it up 5 days later, or...

I also noticed that if I don't get a dairy free probiotic then I am much more gassy.

Yes, that's the probiotic. Its weeding out the bad bacteria so you will feel gassy and bloated with some mild nausea for a little while until your system adjusts.

I think I rationally know the answer to this but I need reassurance. My co-worker came to work tonight and told me her 4 year old daughter woke up at 5 am in their bed and v* and d* everywhere. My co...

I had a day like that a couple weeks ago where I felt fine but had liquid diarrhea 4 times in one hour and twice the next day. I think I had a small bug or a bad IBS flare, although I haven't had...

So I woke up yesterday feeling a little nauseated. Then about two hours later I was out running errands with my two small children and I suddenly had to use the restroom. I have explosive d* 3 times...

You should be fine. I would lysol the bottom of your shoes though, just in case. When I was 8 months pregnant I went to the pharmacy to fill a prescription and I walked into a fresh pool of vomit. I...

this website www.stopthestomachbug.com mentions this website, and has some pretty useful info.

That pisses me off to no end. I kept my son out of school for an entire week when he got the sv*. Thats why it spreads so quickly in schools and daycares!

Every time I turn around someone is getting the sv* in my area and in my circle of friends. It's everywhere right now. My husband and I took my son to the Aquarium yesterday and there were kids...

I am so sorry! Did you touch anything at the elementary school? I am sure its just anxiety from all of the stress.

just anxiety. You are worrying about not washing your hands before you ate with is causing the physical symptoms. you will be okay!

i cart around peppermint altoids. And always a drink with ice chips. :)

My mom fed my son an entire carton of moldy raspberries last month and didn't notice until he had eaten the entire container. She claimed she didn't have her glasses on and couldn't see that they...

are you sure you aren't [pregnant? These symptoms are identical to the ones i would have in my pregnancies.

I am on an antidepressant for my anxiety and mild OCD. I also take benzos on occasion, but I do not have an addictive personality so I ratio them well. Sometimes I will go an entire year and only...

I'm worried i might have C. Diff bacteria. My stomach is worse tonight. Constant gas, abdominal pains, mild diarrhea, burping, bloating, passing wind. My stomach sounds like a gargle factory. I'm...

Yes, you must sip slowly. I think it's all the vitamins that make it feel heavy and can leave you a little nauseous if you drink it too fast. It's never given me diarrhea though. Maybe elderly people...

I started an antibiotic 10 days ago or a sinus infection. A couple days after I started it my stomach has been a wreck. Gas, bloating, weird bowel movements, feeling like I'm going to have diarrhea...

Thanks guys! I have just ordered both. The GermStar was pricey but if it helps prevent Noro then its worth its weight in gold!

well, I don't have experience with Prozac specifically, but I was put on Elavil ( which is an older antidepressant) because fluxetine antidepressants cause my anxiety to be worse. I also lose my...

Please someone tell me which ones work. I have a 2 year old who I have to allow to be active and have a social life but with all of these sv* going around lately I am panicking. After he plays or...

Just wanted to post that since most of us have IBS or anxiety and lose our appetites, I have been drinking Ensures for years when I don't have an appetite but need nutrition or the calories. Has...
