Diarrhoea, Nausea, No Drinking And Smoking, Ate Mushrooms. Stomach Ulcer?

I have been feeling sick to my stomach on and off for almost a week now, I also have been using the washroom more frequently then often (sometimes Diarrhea ). The feeling as if I m going to throw up but I haven t yet at all. Some things they may be important are I am fairly stressed at the moment, I also almost never drink and do not smoke though I sometime have edibles (weed) no more then a few times a month. I also tried magic mushrooms for the first time a week ago a very safe amount and I did my research before hand , none of the other people I did them with have had the same problems. From what I read online I thought it could possibly be a stomach ulcer? Thanks in advanced.

Hi Liamem,
Welcome to healthcare magic!
Last thing first- You are very unlikely to have ulcer in stomach because it does not cause loose motions.
You are most likely having a gut infection(Gastroenteritis), it is over a week so more likely due to bacterial infection.
I would advise you to keep yourself well hydrated and take slightly more liquids orally than you are loosing in the stools.
You would get relief by antibiotics. Get them prescribed by your GP.
I would recommend a 5 days course of Ciprofloxacin and Tinidazole twice daily orally
I hope this advise would be helpful for you.

Still if you have any queries or doubts, please write me back,
I would be happy to solve them.

Wish you a great health!

Hi,
Thanks for query,
Your symptoms of frequent diarrhea & vomiting more likely due to your stress & not due to your mushrooms intake.
If you reduce your stress you gets relief of symptoms.
If you continue it you may consult your doctor.
thanks.
