Not Celiac Related, But My Husband Is Really Sick

He has had a bad cold/throat/cough thing the last couple of weeks. Went into the doctor right after christmas, was told he just had a virus, and would be better soon. Mostly now he just has the cough. What I'm concerned about is the fact that he's had horrible D for several days, where he's just running back and forth to the bathroom (night and day!). Is this typical for what everyone else has been sick with this year? Even worse, am I going to be going through that when I get over the cold part? How do I know when I need to be worried? Thanks all!

My youngest Daughter had the same sort of thing, with diarrhea as well. So, it is entirely possible that your husband has the same problem, and it will pass. If the diarrhea doesn't get better by the time the doctor's office is open again next week, I'd take him back.

That definitely does happen with some viruses. Make sure he stays well hydrated, and (as tomorrow is Friday), I'd at least call the doc and leave word. If it's not resolved by Tuesday, he should absolutely call the doctor back about it. It's tricky with the long holiday season, but if he stays hydrated and fed, he'll likely be alright. Keep an eye on him, of course.

Hope he's feeling better soon!

Both my husband and I have this now. He has it worse than I do--and had diarrhea for several days. I had it the first day, and yesterday only. (!)

The other symptoms like sore throat and coughing are hanging on longer for us.

As long as he is well hydrated, he should be ok. I think with a virus, it's better to let it run it's course and let the body expel what is has to. Is he trying to eat some binding foods like bananas?

Definately have him see the doctor if it goes on too long.

If the diarrhea doesn't stop in 3-4 days from onset he should take immodium to stop the "cycle" of diarrhea.

Sweetfudge,

I hope your husband feels better soon...please post and let us know!

Patti-you poor thing. I hope you and hubby feel better soon! Like you need this!

Whatever this cold thing is, I got sick with it Christmas day and am battling it, too. I can sympathize. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery to all!

xoxo

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
