What Causes Diarrhea And Loss Of Appetite?

For 4 or 5 days I ve had diarrhea and it s been about a week since I ve had a solid bowel movement. I suspect that I have anorexia/bulimia but am too scared to say anything to anyone. It s 9 at night right now and I guess I m just wondering if I should go to the er and tell someone

Hello,

Vomiting and diarrhea can occur in gastrointestinal infection.
I suggest you take some home cooked light food.
Avoid fatty and fried foods.
I suggest you consult your primary healthcare provider for prescription of antibiotics for the infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
