intestinal flu?

I just had the most "fluid" bm ever!  Almost entirely water.  DH had a somewhat similar issue a few minutes after me.  (Not quite as fluid, but still really loose).  I'm having lots of gurgling in the intestines  and intestinal cramping.  Had anyone else been thru this, and can you recommend any meds to stop the discomfort?  Thanks! 

Hello Robin, I have always been told not to stop the the virus from coming out,,, just bear down and go with the flow. I had the stomach flu a few weeks back it was horrible for a day. Take care :)

Thanks kiddo!  I ended up having really uncomfortable intestinal cramping for about six hours.  Only one bout of "evacuation", at the beginning.  I took a really hot shower and took some tylenol for the discomfort.  It didn't help a ton, and so I went to bed.  Laying down helped a lot.  I woke in the middel of the nite with only minimal cramping (almost residual) and then slept in this morning.  I feel a little achy now, but am definitely on the mend.  Sure hope it's gone.  And I do agree, letting the disease come out is really important.  Thanks for your support.
