Stomach virus

[BlueEyes]

Please help! I caught a stomach virus on Saturday after flying and a stressful week. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and extreme stomach cramps that day and all that night. Since then the stomach cramps and a bit of diarrhea are all that remain. But the pain is when I eat. And again about an hour or two after I eat. They are waking me up from a sound sleep and I can't wander too far from my heating pad. I called my doc and he started me on a round of prednisone today. Only 10 mg for 7 days. But oh, the cramps! Feels like a sit up that never ends only more painful. Does anyone have any advice? Btw I have crohn's. Taking humira every other week.

I am sorry for what you are going through. Try a bland diet.

I was told steroids make a virus worse. My doctors would not allow me to take them, instead moro soup is proven to help with infections (bacteria and virus).
