After a day of extreme stomach pain, I called World Nomads for advice and they suggested I see a doctor. He examined me, did a urine and then sent me to do a blood test and an Xray. I returned with the results the next day and he said that I had a stomach flu, he had seen three other paitents that day with the same server symptons.He perscribed medicine for the pain.

I have a friend that has a stomach pain that has been going on for several days. She says that she has been having diarreah and that she feels dehydrated most of the time. Sometimes she feels very weak and does not feel like sleeping. At nights she has trouble turning around because of the stomach pain. Also, when she has trouble standing up, moving around and especially walking up the stairs.

i had the stomach flu a few days ago caused by chicken that happened to have tons of bacteria in it (thank god none too harmful). heres my story: i bought chicken from the super market and ate it for dinner and felt fine after eating. then when i woke up in the morning i didnt fel too good and i vomited all over my bed and on the floor then ran to the beth rom barfing 6 more times but i felt better and went to school. then around lunch i felt really sick again and didnt eat lunch and then told my teacher if i could be excused cuz i felt really sick and she gave me a pass i went to the infirmary and barfed right on the floor in front of the nurse who sent me home. my mom then brought me to the doctor who took a few vomit samples and said that chicken put tons of bacteria into my stomach and to continue eating and drinking and trying to barf it out which i did im finally better but sometimes get the dry heaves just thinking about that nasty experience.
