I am wondering what to do. Should I consult? I'm worried because I haven't eaten much in the last 3 days since I'm not keeping anything down.

Question

I have nausea, vomiting Monday night and Tuesday night and diarrhea. My symptoms are especially present in the evening. I can hardly eat without feeling sick. I've been sick to my stomach since Sunday morning but it doesn't feel like a stomach bug since my symptoms are almost absent during the day. My stomach seems to bubble up after eating.

Hello, First of all, are you able to hydrate adequately? Do you have signs of dehydration, such as dry mouth, less frequent urination, weight loss, faster heartbeat, dark circles under your eyes, severe fatigue, cold and/or bluish hands and feet? Tell me if you have any of these symptoms and if so, which ones. Some of these symptoms require a trip to the emergency room. Next, have you tried taking something for nausea? Can you be pregnant? But indeed, since the symptoms are preventing you from eating properly, you should see a doctor if it persists, especially since a cause should be found. In the meantime, I would advise you to stay well hydrated, preferably with rehydration solutions. In addition, I advise you to eat easily digestible foods instead, such as white bread, white rice, bananas, applesauce, etc. I look forward to hearing from you!
