Dear-thanks for using our system. It is important to get a medical evaluation due to the symptoms described, specially because the decreased appetite and persistant diarrhea that can produce electrolytes disturbances . The "thick head" is due to dehydration and loss of important substances as sodium,potassium and chloride. The stomach cramps can be from flu symptoms.
Drink plenty of fluid and have a bland diet.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
