Stomach bug?

Hi everyone,

i had the DS June of last year. This week my wife had a stomach bug that I guess she passed to me. Here are my symptoms:

today at lunch I had 2 bowel movements. One was normal but the other very loose. I turned a greyish color and was visibly ill. I also got such a bad back pain (lower right) and on the way home the only way I could get comfortable was to lean over and put my head down. I haven't had a fever.

some of these symptoms my wife also had, but I guess I'm a little concerned.

my color is better but I've been laying in bed most of the day.

any reason you'd all be concerned? I've been able to eat today and definitely feel better but there is still some pain in my back. I also feel a sharp pain when urinating but it's happened before when I don't feel well. I have a slight sore throat so I'm guessing im a little dehydrated.

Looking for some guidance. I'm 6'2", 173, and am pretty active. In fact today was leg day at the gym.

Have you ever been checked out for kidney stones? You could also have the start of an urinary track infection. If it was me and I was in Pain like that I would go get checked out.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking yesterday. If there wasn't a weird bug going around I probably would have gone to the emergency room.

That being said, this morning i'm feeling much better.

Have you made any dietary or vitamin changes recently?  If I inadvertently make a change to my vitamins that makes a change to the colour and or consistency.  Grey says to me did you start or increase your iron intake?

I'd normally expect changes in iron to cause constipation though - did you forget to take or change your type of calcium?  Lack of calcium could cause loose stalls.

I actually think my body was just fighting off the bug. I just had blood work done a little over a week ago. The good news there is my bloodwork is much better than it was 3 months ago.

anyways, thanks for the suggestions, but I'm much better now!
