I am a type 1 diabetic. I ve been having loose stools for about 2 weeks. Sometimes, immediately after a bowel movement, I have intense hunger pains. I also have Hashimoto s disease, but I had a thyroid blood test yesterday and it was good. As soon as I finish eating, my stomach starts gurgling and I start feeling bloated. Within an hour, sometimes longer, I have a loose bm. Could this be a stomach virus? Do they last this long?
