What Causes Intermittent Diarrhea And Weight Loss While Having Stomach Flu?
Question: Have been sick with Stomach Flu, and MAJOR Diareah for the past month On & Off, losing 11lbs. in weight between Sept:16th. and 21st.
No Dr's visits have as yet established what's going on, and am currently taking MANUCA UMF +20 Honey,
which was recomended by a Neighbor for "Chem-Trail Flu" Sumptons, which She believs may be my ailment?
Just FYI. Weight has gone up and down with some days with a semi-solid stool,
and others pure liquid form.
Current weight today is seven pounds below that of Sept:16th. 2016.

Brief Answer:
Serious issue
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
A one month of on and off diarhoea with close to 11 pounds loss in weight in just a week's time should immediately seek medical attention. This is irrespective of any other serious symptoms like fever, fatigue or blood in the stool.
You need to be investigated for tumors in the gut. You need basic blood counts, tumor factors, stool testing, and possibly a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy.
Please do not waste time in take the Honey. The flu symptoms do not cause weight loss in such a drastic manner.
I no longer waste time instead take an immediate appointment with a Gastroenterologist.
