Stomach bug or not?
Hi, Last tuesday I felt sick all day but wasn't actually sick. The next day I was fine and had been until this monday (6 days later) when I was actually sick just the once before I went to work. Again, afterwards I was absolutely fine. I had no other symptoms at all on either occasion. I was wondering whether you could tell me if this sounds like stomach bug, or whether its something that I should see a doctor about? As there was 6 days between the two incidents and the symptoms were relatively mild Im guessing its unlikely it was a stomch bug. Thanks.

My son's health
My 37-tear old son is an alcoholic and frequently suffers several days of vomiting followed by-often-a seizure during which he damages his head, needing stitches or staples.A month ago, he started to vomit almost non-stop, all day for nearly a month.He lives with us and does not work. He adamantly refused to see a doctor, his stomach started to swell to enormous proportions and his skin is very yellow.Eventually, he agreed to see his doctor ,who took blood tests.My son has told us that he has e-coli.He is an intelligent, well-qualified...honours degree...adult, but often tells lies.We feel he is not telling us the truth now.He has to go for more blood tests tomorrow, but is still vomiting, having diarrhoea and sleeping almost all the time in between.He takes plenty of fluids, but I saw him with beer this morning.
My husband and I are extremely worried, as you can imagine.An uncle and a cousin of mine died young of liver failure and had swollen stomachs and yellow complexion.
If our son lies about his condition, continues to suffer and to drink alcohol, have we any right to ask his doctor for the truth? Are his symptoms consistent with e-coli?
Thank you for your time and attention.
