3. Diarrhea
Diarrhea is the most common sign of a stomach bug. Abnormally frequent trips to the bathroom accompanied by pain and cramping could indicate a stomach bug. Not everyone experiences diarrhea as a symptom, but it’s a primary indicator.
A stomach bug normally attacks the gut cells and makes the reabsorption of water difficult.2‘Stomach Flu (Gastroenteritis): Symptoms, Causes & Diagnosis.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/12418-gastroenteritis. This results in stools becoming foul-smelling and watery. A physician can prescribe something to help with persistent pain and loose bowel movements.
