We are not doctors and it is very easy for any of us to say that you probably have a stomach bug or ate something that hasn't agreed with you. The thing is we are not doctors and cannot an should not be offering diagnoses.

What I will over you is the advice that you need to see your doctor. Being sick this long with diarrhea and vomiting can cause dehydration. Not only will this extend your recovery time it can be very dangerous if you get overly dehydrated as it causes an electrolyte imbalance.

If you are dehydrated there are some over the counter products that can help rehydrate you. If you are to dehydrated you may have to go to the ER for IV re-hydration.

When something hangs on for more than two or three days with no sign of recovering it is always best to at least phone your doctor and see if you should be seen at the office or if they want to monitor you at home for another day or two.

i'd probably say you have food poisoning, and thats how your body is getting rid of it and explains the gas. so you should see a doctor get meds for it. and dont eat heavy food for a while till you get rid of all the bad one in you stomach. hope that helps

I would say you definitely have some sort of stomach virus and it's best if you just lay in bed. Drink lots of fluids (though try to stay away from juices and most sodas) and eat saltines. Ginger Ale and Sprite are the best things to drink when you're sick because they have no color and are soothing. Sodas like Pepsi and Coke are horrible to have so definitely stay away from those.

I would give the doctor a call and see what they think. Take some immodium in the mean time so you can stop making multiple trips to the bathroom and just try and stay hydrated. All of the throwing up and going to the bathroom is going to wear you out, so definitely keep yourself with lots of fluids in your system.
