Big Orange Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Is there a particulary nasty Stomach illness going about? I myself have been plagued by moderately severe tummy/bowl problems (which includes disturbing back sensations and pale yellow stool once) and when I was sitting on the sofa the previous weekend I thought the radiator behind it was too hot, but realised it was my lower back overheating! Anyway I booked myself in for a GP appointment this Monday and suspect it's a virus (I emailed a friend who said he had rectal bleeding that seemed more serious than it was and could be down to viral infection, while another friend posted he had very odd severe head/neck/arm pains instead). Anyway my nasty tummy/back cramps are subsiding, I'm going to the toilet more normally (with mild dehydration and constapation), I feel a lot less like crap, but oddly sluggish and relaxed, like after a serious medical operation.

Frank Hovis Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I had the overheating and nausea last week, it came and went within a day (started about lunchtime, was pretty much ok the next morning) so maybe just a mild form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riedquat Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Sounds similar to what a few people at work have been off with, although yours sounds rather more severe (not that I expect anyone at work to have gone into the detail you've done).

I say I did the wrong and should've stayed at home right away and maybe my symptoms wouldn't have extended past a full week (with the extreme drowsiness and anxiety on top of the scary gut rot prompting me to see medical help).

Yellow stools, back pain, tummy problems/pain and bowel problems are classic coeliac disease symptoms. Give up all gluten and see how you feel in 30 to 60 days. It can take long for gluten to leave the body but you should begin to feel better in about 7 to 10 days. Of course, you need to go see your GP.

MrPin Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Pale yellow stool. Pictures please! Mr Renting is a bit of a turdologist! Yes I think there is "something going round". Not been so good myself! Couple of people been off sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you need to go see your GP. Perhaps, but those symptoms overlap with stomach bugs as well, and it came up when I typed up the symptoms (but looking up any symptoms on the Daily Fail or Chuffington Post would scare you into thinking you'll be dead inside six months) but the worse of my symptoms subsided relatively quickly (though four days felt like four weeks) and practically gone now, but a better diet and excercise should stop this thing getting worse and make me recover quickly.

19 year mortgage 8itch Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I would prescribe rectal vitamin D supplements for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Orange Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 You need a blood test to find out you're gluten intolerant, but I suppose this is my bread heavy diet catching up with me if confirmed by my GP, and virus may have triggered it properly. My appetite has come back, I'm sleeping more normally, my stool has more or less been brown for many days, and my back pain feels much fainter. People with gluten tolerance I read have been hit harder. I'm having soup this evening and as breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suing you for misrpresenation in your username! I don't know whether that's a good idea or whether travelling on the tube every day (or equivalent) and so catching everything builds up a general resistance. I seem to get most things but in a fairly mild form and I have the hope that fighting these things off is a good workout for my iummune system. It could of course be nothing of the sort and every bug is a brand new battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had similar to this last week, felt quite flu like and was going to get worse but, like you, decent night's sleep seemed to mostly shake it off.

I would say, in the years of my working life, where I mixed closely with the general public, all day everyday, I hardly ever got ill, if at all.

workingpoor Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I think your more likely to catch bugs & illnesses from mixing with co-workers. Someone brings their own problem to work and spreads it around hoping to avoid a sickness / time off disciplinary etc Very selfish. Like those who get on cruise ships carrying Norovirus.

The Eagle Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 It's going round here in Germany too, I've avoided it so far by temporarily doubling my daily Vitamin D3 dose to 10,000 IU. I also heard from somebody in Mexico who said they have it there too currently, seem this virus is hitting hard everywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This didn't all start with you getting bitten by a mysterious wolf-like creature on a dark and lonely road, or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
