Diarrhea for about a week! Someone help!?

Because you have no fever or other symptoms, we can rule out Gastroenteritis, also known as the stomach flu, though it has nothing to do with the flu. However excessive diarrhea for a whole week is concerning. Have you been eating enough fiber? If not, you should try to eat more fruits, veggies, starches.


The other problem may be lactose intolerancy. Have you been eating any dairy during this time? Try going dairy free and see if that helps, or go to the doctor to get tested for lactose intolerancy. And don’t worry, there are so many products out there for people with lactose intolerancy, including real milk that is lactose free, even ice cream made with real milk that is also lactose free!


Hope you feel better :)
