loose motion leave - #19820

Veer

I am really confused and a bit worried about this whole situation with my stomach. For the last week, I’ve been dealing with loose motion, and honestly, it’s been a nightmare. One minute I'm fine, and the next I'm racing to the bathroom. I thought it was just something I ate, but it’s just not going away. I've tried to stick to a bland diet, but even that doesn’t seem to help. I also work in a pretty demanding job, and taking loose motion leave feels impossible. Like, how do you even explain that to your boss? The other day I thought about asking for a few days off but then I feel stupid saying, “Hey, I cannot come to work because of loose motion.” Would they take me seriously? I've been drinking a lot of fluids and I've noticed I'm feeling kinda weak from not eating much. I just don’t know if this is something I should worry about. Also, should I be seeing a doctor about this loose motion issue, or is it something that could just resolve itself? I guess I'm just hoping for some guidance on when to consider taking loose motion leave and what signs I should really look for before making that decision. Would love to know if you've been through something similar!
