Stomach Viral - Diarrhea / Loose Motions
Hi,I need help for my stomach viral(? I think) which started yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon after lunch I felt very uneasiness in the stomach, bloatedness uneasiness which became better after drinking Soda etc. Anyway, it became bloated uneasiness again in the evening, I grabed another Soda can but started feeling nauseatic. I threw up on my way back from work. I threw up two more times till last night about 12AM. I did not feel like eating anything & in general it is good to be avioding food so did not eat anything.
Last night, once the vomiting stopped, I had a very loose (watery) & smelly bowel movement. Today, till 1PM, I already had two very loose bowel movements. I do not have any more nausea or vomiting but want advise on diarrhea.
My allopathic doctor is suggesting Imodium, but I don't know if I will be suppressing the symptoms. I wanted to take someting in homeopathy to clear up the virus.
I had a little soup today but after an hour to 1 1/2 hr I had a loose bowel movement.
In general, just in one day, I feel very weak. The vomitings were very strong. I had fever last night of 99.3 deg F but now 98.7deg F.
Please advise on what I should take to help me clear my symptoms/viral so that I am able to go back to work tomorrow. I took the day off today.
Thanks & Best Regards,

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hello,
Seems like you are suffering from food poisoning. What did you have for lunch before these complaints started?
How is your thirst?
How is your tongue? any coating?
Any pain / burning during/ after passing stool?
Any other complaint apart from these?
Arsenic should help you , (it has a specific symp of "prostration out of proportion" with increased thirst for sips of cold water)
Please answer the questions in detail before starting the treatment.
Take care...

Thirst is normal.
Tongue is slightly coated white.
No burning after or during passing stools. Usually, a lot of rumbling in the stomach & movement of gas before stools. I had another bowel movement, 90% loose.
My fever has jumped back up again to 99.3deg F.
Question: How do we tell the difference between food poisioning and Stomach viral? Apparently there is a lot of stomach viral going on locally here. Could be food poisioning but I did eat home cooked meal in the afternoon but it was not fresh, meaning it was left over from a day before.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Arsenic can help you.
The indications of arsenic are:
1. ailmnts from stale/ decayed food or animal matter, sour beer, bad sausage, strong cheese.
2. Diarrhoea after eating or drinking. Stool dark coloured, offensive , and followed by GREAT PROSTRATION.
3. Exhaustion is not felt while lying still , but mentally restless so wants to move , and then least movement causes excessive prostation
4. Cant bear sight/ smell of food : nausea

Hi,
Thx for your replies.
I think I have stomach viral and not food poisoning.
I do not get diarrhoea after eating or drinking, I get it anyway. Stool is not dark. Now my last bowel movement was about 3 hrs ago.
I am extremely exhausted but not after diarrhoea, in general. Also I am not mentally restless, although I do want to quietly lie down & rest.
Yes, since this afternoon, I again don't feel like eating again as I am nauseatic.
Does Ars. still fits the picture?
Thanks

Arsenicum Album is very good. Restless and burning, 3am.
Also Lycopodium if evening complaints
Gelsemium if one wants to go to bed and curl up in covers to sleep it off.
Carbo Veg is very good for general stomach upsets with direah.

Yes ,Arsenic still fits the picture. "Prostration out of proportion" with mental restlessness is a strong indication for prescribing arsenic. You can take Ars 200 thrice a day. After taking first dose,if there is no aggravation of symptoms, then take the second dose. If the symptoms aggravate/change , report back.
Take 4-5 pills on clean tongue, and dont eat/ drink anything atleast half an hour before/ after taking the medicine.
Take care...

Thankyou Sabra & Magicure for all your help.
Since yesterday afternoon, I did not have any more bowel movements and no vomiting again.
I do not have any mental restlessness but do feel very weak. I do feel like going into bed and covering myself with heavy blankets and going to sleep.
I have not taken any remedy so far but will need to take something to get over this weakness.
I will open up another post/thread soon on my chronic problems as I am having some sinus problems & burning in the middle of the night.
Thanks & appreciate all your help.

If your vomiting and bowel movements ceased,but you are still feeling weak,take three doses of China 200,one dose every day.
It will help you to recover quickly.I am sure Magicure and Sabra will agree.

Good that you recovered from Diarrhoea on your own ..
Yes , as Murthy has suggested , if you still have a LOT of weakness, China can do wonders ( ailments from loss of vital fluids causing extreme prostration)
Keep us informed.
