It seems I may gotten rotavirus or astrovirus, or adenovirus , one of those stomach flu viruses going around right before my birthday which was yesterday ( happy birthday to me!). I stayed in bed 98% of the time because getting up made me even more nauseous. I was like this for 24 hours and then I had some gluten free cake made by my husband and son only 6 ingredients but all those flours were not good for me. Boy oh boy what a mistake! Brought me back up to being in the bathroom last night from 3am to 6am , lots of runny water coming out and showers happened in those 3 hours. ( so sorry for the detail) my stomach is also slightly swollen now after …releasing.

On top of that, I had JUST done a GI map test with Zonulin two days before this sickness started so I am with the hope it reflects on the GI Map test since these types of viruses take a couple days to manifest from what I have read.

I am currently on a simple BRAT diet to not aggravate my stomach any longer and Oregano oil capsules to remove w/e is in there. Binders, sole water, bone broth for electrolytes and ginger tea. I wanted to cleanse this month so I guess I had no choice but to do a forced cleanse.

I also want to mention I’ve had some pretty intense dreams which I know, for myself, when I have intense dreams there is a critter somewhere in my stomach. For comparison, I use my previous experiences with bugs in my stomach. I’d get really intense dreams before and during the removal part of them.***

Community, Bern, anyone that has experienced this before. How do you tackle this?

I want to mention my kiddo has made a full recovery ( he is still very picky with his food so I’m not sure if to do a cleanse on him) and so has my husband ( he has a stomach of steel but I still feel he needs to cleanse as well).
