What Causes Diarrhea, Gurgling Stomach And Belching?
Since Friday late evening I was hit with acute watery diarrhea and had to get out of bed 5-6 times that night. It continues to present time, last night being pretty bad. I notice it is watery, yellowish (now). My stomach rumbles and gurgles quite loudly and I m belching a bit more too. I don t have a fever and don t feel all that bad (a little light headed). No vomiting but some nausea. I m to hydrate as much as possible. What is causing this possibly? How long will it last? And when or should I see a MD if this persists? Thanks for your time. Mark

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a gastrointestinal infection.
I recommend using over the counter option like Imodium.
I also recommend using daily probiotics.
For the bloating, you can use simethicone medication.
The symptoms can last for 5 to 7 days.
Meanwhile, I suggest you drink liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
