I have had a run with something terrible going on my second week. I woke up one morning extremly sick to my stomach and felt that way all day, and threw up a few times, that night I felt a little better I thought until 1:30 that morning I woke up with the chills, D, and throwing up, I ran a fever also. That was the worse that but sense then I have felt terrible off and on. Has anyone experienced it taking longer to get over the common stomach virus than the average person?

I have just felt weak, my bones ached, and yesterday my tummy cramped up so bad I couldn't move. My dad seems to think it is just moving out of my system, but it has been 8 days now so I need so more input?

I would suggest you see your doctor. Stomach viruses can take a while to get over, but they don't often cause such extreme symptoms for so long.

If symptoms are persisting that long I would begin to think it something other than a stomach virus, something bacterial maybe. With the fever and chills you had initially, infection of some kind is indicated. I certainly would see the doctor.

Yes, please call your doctor--it sounds like it might be bacterial--maybe not, but 8 days is long enough to warrant a doctor visit to see what's going on.

Hope you get to feeling better soon :)

I hope you go to the doctor or the ER, it could be a lot of things, including apendics...

Thanks for the replies, I actually went to the doctor today and was disappointed as always this should be a whole other thread. BUT.... my tummy was still hurting with sharp pains no other symptoms. I went to the same doctors office I went to when I was so sick with finding out I had celiac the doctor I saw that time told me he refused to test me for Celiac that there was no way I could live the rest of my life without wheat gluten and it was all mental. Therefore he put me through everything else and so I got another opion and the test came back positeve for Celiac Disease.

SO today I went to the same office of the doctor who refused to test me, but saw another doctor and in my chart was a blood test that said I was negative for celiac disease. This doctor never did the test though because he was so aggainist the other doctor I went to for the second opinion diagnosed me!!! So i am goin in today to see if there was something wrong with me and he tells me I dont have celiac and wants to re scope and biopsy me!! I mean are you serious!! I could not bbelieve he was telling me this I am so sick if I am to even get a crumb of gluten!! Sorry I had to rant I am hoping my parents do not let them re scope and biopsy me... I am having a cat scan done monday to see what the pain is from.

I hope your tummy feels better soon!

Let us know the results of the CT scan.

So sorry about all the doctors being jackassses. Just remember, out of the thousands of doctors practicing medicine, only one of them graduates at the top of their class each year....some barely make the cutoff. The trick is finding a doctor who's both intelligent and empathetic.

Good luck to you. I finally stumbled across several good doctors whom I deeply respect and appreciate. However, it took 16 years to find them.

Prayers and hugs headed your way! -Julie

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      This may not be the cause, it's pure speculation on my part, but for 10-15 years I had a tingling/burning/electric-like shock sensation that emanated from my right-neck upward across the right-side of my head. I was worried about having a stroke or something so got all sorts of tests done, including an MRI, which found not much--only a minor degenerative...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This may not be the cause, it's pure speculation on my part, but for 10-15 years I had a tingling/burning/electric-like shock sensation that emanated from my right-neck upward across the right-side of my head. I was worried about having a stroke or something so got all sorts of tests done, including an MRI, which found not much--only a minor degenerative disk in my neck--which I just accepted as the cause. Fast forward to when I was ~45 and I was hit with shingles in the EXACT place that this sensation would travel--I ended up with a very painful case of shingles that felt like the right-side of my head had been set on fire, and had the blistering and pain that ran along the exact path of nerves that I had felt this sensation travel along for the prior 10-15 years. For me, that time period was a shingles pre-cursor, and all those feelings were likely inflammation in my nerves. Needless to say I've not had this since getting my shingles vaccines at 50.  Your situation could very well be something else, but I just wanted to mention this possibility because your symptoms sound similar to what I experienced. I'm not sure if you're in the age range to get a shingles vaccine, but it may be something to consider.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Richard Rusnak! The short answer is "No". Barley is a gluten-containing grain. The three gluten-containing grains are wheat, barley and rye.  Barley and rye contain less gluten than wheat but still should be avoided. Understand that smaller amounts of gluten may not produce a noticeable reaction in so far as symptoms go, but they still may be causing some inflammation in the gut. Products derived from gluten-containing grains should also be avoided, for instance malt and malt flavoring.
