Hi doctor, I am a 20 year old female. My height is 5'8" and weight is approximately 140 lbs. The only medication I am on right now is birth control pill. I woke up three days ago with diarrhea and terrible stomach pains. I felt nauseous, but I have never thrown up. The diarrhea has been persistent, but stops when I take Imodium. It is day 3 and I am still having the same symptoms. I have thought about taking Ibuprofen to deal with the pain, but it is known to aggravate a stomach ache. Is there anything I can do to cope with the pain and diarrhea? I am a student and have big tests coming up tomorrow, and would like to be able to site through them comfortably. The stomach pain is on and off as if they are period cramps, but I just got my period a week ago. Thank you for any help you offer.
