Brief Answer:
Stomach

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
Often after a stomach virus passes through, it can take days, or even weeks, before the stomach completely heals. Sometimes taking a daily probiotic can speed the healing process.
Additionally, whenever illness lasts this long, it's possible something else is going on. Sometimes Mononucleosis can give us this picture. I recommend discussing this possibility with your doctor.
