undefined

so i've been kinda sick for the past 5 days. the first couple it all just seemed like a cold (sniffles, coughing, mucus)

then 3 days ago i woke up with really sharp pains in my stomach and those pains lasted two days straight and i also woke up with horrid diarrahea (some constistancy as my urine) and i counldn't eat a thing so after awhile my diarrahea turned kinda bright orange and sometimes yellow. and at the end of the first day of stomach problems i ended up with a fever of 102. by morning it was at a steady 100.5 and the same routine of stomach pains and diarrahea proceeded till night fall when my stomach let up some but my cough returned. now this morning i woke up, fever free, stomach pain free, but still nauseous, and still with rather intense diarrahea. and my cough came back and now i have really thick, sticky, green flem

so, what's wrong with me?

might have something like the stomach flu...take on a liquid diet for a few days. sprite, water, and alot of juices..apple, cran..nothing citrus.

With all the diarrhea -- you probably have washed away all your friendly bacteria in your intestines that need to be replaced.
Start eating a good brand of yogurt 3 teaspoons every 3 hours , take a probiotic supplement that you can buy from a health food store. Also, start taking a water soluble fiber supplement lie Metamucil with lots of water. It will bulk up your stool -- you have to stop the diarrhea and psyllium work very well.

There is a homeopathic remedy for diarrhea that works well---Arsenicum Album -- it's worth a try!!
