dehydrated

[lexi6510 56]

Ok...so I ended up in the hospital dehydrated over the weekend. Its not that I'm not getting enough liquids because I was drinking plenty. The problem was that everything I would eat or drink would go straight through me. For almost two weeks I've been dealing with this. I think I started with a small virus and I just never got rid of the diahrea. Has anyone else experienced this?? I'm drained. Cant take much more.

Might want to see a doctor for some labs you might have some intestinal bug that could easily be treated with antibiotics

Ok so I had this in the begenning too and ended up getting IV fluids 5 times. If you end up with burning diarrhea or intestinal pain, go to your doc and get a fecal sample done...I ended up with C-dif. and didn't know it and because I had it so long, the antibiotic was like $900 =/. He also told me to take a bulk forming Fiber supplement until the runs would stop.

Hope it get's better for you! =]

I did get a script for antibiotics. Haven't started them yet. They did do labs and nothing showed up. The dr on call said it sounded like maybe an infected colon from having it too long. They didn't do a stool sample I guess since I never went to the restroom. I'm hoping this gets fixed soon. I can't eat much and I try to just drink all day.

I went to the ER because I almost passed out.

Bulk forming fiber supplement??? Can u give me an example? My dr told me (before I went to ER) to take a stool hardener. I can't swallow the pill though. It gags me
