suffering from loose motion - #14614

Rian

I am really worried because I've been suffering from loose motion for the past four days and it’s starting to freak me out. It all started after I tried some street food that didn't seem too bad, but now I can't even keep anything down. I thought it was just a mild case at first, but the loose motion is just relentless. I’ve had cramps too, and I can't tell if it's my stomach being sensitive or something worse. I mean, I seriously doubt I’m dehydrating but I’ve been downing water and electrolytes like crazy. The thing is, I just don’t know if this is something that will pass or if I should be more concerned. Should I be taking anything to help with the loose motion or just ride it out? I did think about calling my doc, but everything just sounds so overwhelming. The last time I was suffering from loose motion, it was after I ate some bad eggs and I just ended up needing antibiotics, which I really don’t want again unless it's totally necessary. Anyone have advice on what I should do about this time? Should I just wait it out hoping this isn't something serious?
