What is this pain? Is this normal? Is there a way to test it at home? Does it sound serious?

So it's been six days and I still have the runs (going back and forth to the bathroom). I have eaten everything the same as my family, but none of them have it. my stomach is always in a lot of pain, and I just keep going to the toilet. I will wake up in the morning due to the pain of needing to go. And mind you, the pain is really bad. And the pain is so bad it wakes me up. Then when I get up to get ready for school, the moment my stomach hurts, I have to stop what I'm doing because the pain is really bad. when I crouch down, or bend my knees closer to me, the pain starts again. I don't know what's going on. please help. it's affecting my daily activities and affecting me at school. I can't go to the doctor's for another two days. please help

You need to see a doctor. Food poisoning doesn’t last 6 days. Call the doctors office and see if they can put you on a cancellation list and/or explain the situation, see if they can see you earlier. If it gets even worse, don’t be afraid to go to the ER. Something isn’t right.

Thank you so much. It's exactly a week as of today. I feel even worse. I have to go to school, so I'll go to my gp straight after. But I feel really sick, I want to throw up. I almost fainted as well. I don't know what's going on. I woke up in extreme stomach pain. I'm really worried

Thank you. I know, but I don't have a choice. My teacher isn't replying to emails, and I have an assessment due today that I need an extension on. I have to attend. I don't have that, but I'll see if we have any. Right now, I feel like I'm going to throw up

Try Imodium ID. You can buy it over the counter.

Thank you. I'll see if my chemist has any. A family member gave me that or something similar, but it didn't help

Your welcome. Hope your feeling better.
