What Causes Chronic Diarrhea And Stomach Cramping Over A Long Period Of Time?
I picked up a stomach virus or bug while visiting friends over Christmas, they have small children and everyone had recently been ill when I was there. Right after Christmas I had chronic diarrhea and stomach cramping which lasted about a week. But still to this day I have diarrhea and cramping, which is relieved for a period right after using the bathroom. I am wondering how long a bug can last, and whether I will ever again be able to use the restroom normally, as I used to...?
you need to see a gastroenterologist to get diagnosed for irritable bowel syndrome . If it is there then some medications and lifestyle changes will help u with it .
Thanks
