Flu, bacteria or something worse?

[Zamyou]

I'm a 25yr old male..

I've always had a sensitive stomach but during the last 5 days or so it feels like i have a mild cold (mild headache and warmth) along with a sore throat. On top of that, i have diarrhea and an upset stomach and constant gas. I also feel pretty tired. Its worse in the mornings.

However, i dont really feel like throwing up, in fact i have a pretty basic appetite, no acid refluxes and definitely not any blood coming out of anywhere.

I went to a doctor and after feeling my stomach and doing some blood tests (which came back normal) she suspects some kind of stomach virus (like Adenovirus) and nothing alarming..

Im pretty worried tho.. Ive gone through all options from IBS to cancer but i dont know.. It seems likely it could be a virus tho..

What do you think?

there are stomach bugs that can last up to 2 weeks. I would wait and see if the symptoms persist past the 10-12 day point. hopefully they will stop by then. I would also pick up a strong probiotic (10 billion cultures or more) as your gut flora is going to be all messed up from all the diarrhea.
