I have been sick for 9 days. The nausea finally subsided today. I was hospitalized in the middle of the week. I have consistent watery stools, the doctors seem stumped and are not sure what the problem is. The stool cultures were all negative. I go 9-12 x a day I am constantly taking anti-diarrea nedicine....

Can anybody relate?? Has any bod heard of this before?

Well first (((HUG)))....
all i can say on this is the STOMACH bug that I had
as a post op WAS a dozy to shake and rid.
I was with diarear for no lie 3 weeks....and it was
awful do to the other issues such gives us.
IT wasnt good.
EVEN imodium didnt help me.
THEY kept telling me stomach viruses dont last this long
and i was takeing myself off lactose products to no avail.
I even was sent to a gastro specialist but by then i was finally
better. I still saw him and he did discuss with me with the new
plumbing and less juices to combat things it is not concerning to him that as a gastric bypass patient i had it soo long.

FUNNY thing was 2 months later everyone was getting this long lasting
stomach bug. PERHAPS this is the strain going thru you!!!

(((HUG))) its not easy i know it was horrible.
I did have a good weight loss month that month too !! (bad me)
but i got rid of it...
if they havent find anything i would give it little bit longer
and see if it rids. i know i was miserable when i had this for that
length of time!
HUGS
again feel better!
(and the hemroids were the worst during this bug)

Since you were hospitalized, I take it you had a through check as well. If nothing came up, it's still a guess, but the chances are it's viral, as viruses are harder to check, and also, they don't respond to antibiotics. Sometimes, what happens is, if you are given antibiotics, that will wipe out the offending bacteria, but will bring out the virus that was hiding, because now, there's nothing to prevent it from wreaking havoc.
In any case, it's good to hear you're feeling a tad better, hang in there, be sure to keep up with your liquids for the moment.
