Hi I am new to the forum and I joined because I am an IBSD sufferer for many years. I have been doing extremely well {I do tai chi and chi kung} until I recently had a bout of gastroenteritis. It has been two weeks since the attack and still cannot eat properly, nausea, abdominal cramps and loose BMs. I went to the doctor and got the usual meds for the virus - lomotil. On a previous visit he gave me librax which I hardly used but have to use them now - it helps. I have been on AD effexor 75 mg which works really well and has been helping me with the spasms and cramps.Just wanted to find out if it is usual to have the nausea/cramps still after 2 weeks. I don't have an appetite and only eat small meals frequently. Have lost some weight. Any advice will be appreciated as I am really worried this is going on so long.
