I did not have vomiting, and I did have some gas, not much now because I am barely eating. I went to Mexico the 16-22 of this month. My stool were a little dark, but not really unusual.
Brief Answer:
Fiber supplements
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
Thanks for the information.
Its been pretty long for the problems you have to be connected to the fact that you ate fish for a considerable time period.
The problem now could be either Irritative bowel syndrome or chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Both need extensive workup to be ruled out.
I would recommend you to take fiber supplement like Psyllium husk every night for a minimum of a week and observe. If the symptoms come down, then continue the same for a week more. If not, do consult a gastroentrologist who can do specific tests to rule out the conditions mentioned above.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
Please do ask if any doubts.
