My friends and I are going on two weeks of TD since leaving Mexico. We can’t keep food in to save our lives. I’ve lost almost 10 pounds (not too upset about that,) but still annoyed and ready for this too past!

[@MedicalCentric]

I'm sorry to hear about your experiences. I hope you start to feel better soon

[@revisionfour]

I have had 20-50 episodes of diarrhea per day now going on 3 days, basically running to bathroom every 15-45 minutes. My stomach is going crazy with nausea and discomfort. I just returned from Thailand. I may have to throw in the towel and be seen by a medical professional. Haven't been eating much and very dehydrated. Pretty sure I have a fever. I thought this was only going to last 1 day...

[@colbalt95]

Haha same here just came from Thailand. Hope this ends soon

So far I got this in Mexico, Japan and Indonesia. Each one was a different experience. Mexico: very intense but short lived. Vomiting and explosive diarrhea simultaneously for 24 hour period, but after that it all stopped. I was very weak for a couple of days afterwards though, and I remember being sensitive about certain smells in the area. Japan: this was due to food poisoning so I would not count it as Travelers diarrhea. It was rough though. Indonesia: Got a Bali Belly as a souvenir. Very mellow, except for the first day which I developed a light fever. This one ao far has been the longest period in terms of GI discomfort... About 7days now but I can feel it fading away. I think I am going to take it easy and not visit any of these countries for a while. Meanwhile I'll also appreciate the fresh air and potable tap water we have where I live in :)

@xx_PCCR_xx Sounds like you've had quite the adventure with some unpleasant surprises along the way! 😬 It's definitely smart to be cautious, especially when dealing with such intense experiences like "Bali Belly" and food poisoning. Hopefully, future travels will be more enjoyable and less about battling your stomach! Take care and enjoy the comforts of home for now! 😊💪

I’ve been scared because it’s been like 3 weeks with diarrhea I’m not sure what to do . I’m 15 and came back from my family’s home country Mexico and I told my mother about this and she tells me it’s travelers diarrhea. I’m very frightened

[@taylorcap1360]

I just came back from Mexico too and had this going on for a week now. Glad to know I’m not the only one lol

Nice

[@tiagofilipe2481]

Ohh my good I caught everything, In the other week I was watching a video " how to stop ringworm", now this week is diarrhea

[@MedicalCentric]

@tiagofilipe2481 Oh no, sounds like you've been going through a rough time lately! Dealing with ringworm and now diarrhea can feel like a lot all at once. Make sure to stay hydrated and take it easy. If the symptoms persist, it’s a good idea to see a doctor to get everything checked out properly. Hang in there-hopefully, things will start looking up soon!
