What Causes Diarrhea And Stomach Pain?
I've been nauseous since Saturday and every food I smell makes me sick to my stomach and gag. I have pain that comes and goes in my upper stomach almost directly under my breasts. I've had diarrhea since late last night and it won't stop. I've probably gone about 8 times now. I can't stand the thought of any food either and feel very weak now. Please let me know what you think I may have?

hello
welcome to HCM
your problem may be due to bacterial or viral infection of gut or may be due to food poisoning.you have not given information about other complains like vomiting, fever or headache.
you are weak and dehydrated so first start re hydration. Oral rehydration solution (ORS) is best for you now. prepare solution and drink as much as u can and mostly after every stool. if possible, eat semi solid food and fruit juice till the diarrhoea subsies. dnt take any medicine now. if it persist, consult yr clinician
thank you
