Nausea, Gas, and Loose Stool

For the past 6 days I have been experiencing nausea on and off throughout the day.  Along with the nausea I have had loose stool and have had to go to the bathroom numerous times a day.  I have been burping a lot which is not that abnormal for me, but have been doing it a lot more than normal.  I get really hungry and when I eat I feel nausea for a bit then just feel as though something is just sitting in my stomach for the rest of the day.  I am worried about what this might mean, because I thought it may have just been a stomach bug that had been going around, but I have not experienced any vomiting.  I just need some answers.  Thank You

i have had the same thing for the past week also.  i just got up one morning and after eating the same breakfast i always do, i felt terrible.  same feeling of something just sitting in my gut, and nausea.  actually same symptoms as you exactly.  i went to the doc and am going for a gastroscopy and colonoscopy soon to see what the problem is.  dr thinks it  may be an ulcer, so i am on zantac, and that has helped a bit, but got nausea again tonight after eating a relatively small meal of boiled rice. like you i am over it already and really want answers.  i will post here again once my tests are done.  i have a history of anxiety, so wondering how much is panic related?  
good luck finding answers for yourself, its painful and worrying huh!?

The burping is probably fine, part of the nausea. The loose stool and nausea for 6 days seems a bit long. I'd go to a doctor might need meds or something if bacterial. Not a doctor, just think 6 days is a bit long for a viral bug.
