This might have some gross things in it. Not for the weak.

So about a week ago, I woke up in the middle of the night clenching my stomach. It hurt so bad. So I went to the bathroom. I had SEVERE diarrhea. I went back to sleep but tossed and turned all night. When I got up, every member of my family was sick. So I assumed it was that. The only thing is that, I'm the one to NEVER get sick. But I let it go. Everyone else was feeling better by the end of the day.
I felt better, but I wasn't better. I still had a very loose stool. There has been a lot of red in it, but I eat tomatoes pretty regularly, so I figured it was just that. Except that recently I've been eating organic, home-grown fruits and vegetables only.
The cramping was gone but the stool issue remained. Until today. I woke up with the same cramps and same diarrhea problem, only this time it was accompanied by puking.
I don't have a fever. I checked.
I can't eat anything without throwing up now.
Every time I go to the bathroom (number 2), it just looks like spit. I don't know what that is.
Recent problems I've had are my lymph nodes. They have been swollen for 4 years. My doctor felt them, but said they were fine. Occasionally, they swell up and hurt extremely bad.
Also, I've been having 2, sometimes 3, periods a month. But I think that is just because in my house is a pregnant sister and a menopausal mom.

I don't know if any of these problems are connected, but I could really use some help. Do you know what this could be? Do you know what will make me feel better?

You might have a hot appendix. But you have such a variety of symptoms that I'd go to a different doctor, or the ER. To help out the doctorT'd give up the tomatoes so they'll have a better idea of your real stool color. You definitely need a blood draw, in case you're septic. This sounds incredibly uncomfortable and I wouldn't hesitate to get to the doctor. Please don't wait. Good luck!

i agree with the first 2 answers.



maybe food poisoning, stomach cramps.



but tell all this to your doctor tomorrow ok so they can help you get better



you could have some kind of toxic in your body. first you need to drink alot of water so you will not dehydrate from the diarrhea, and second see a doctor.



you could try some malox or soemthing for your stomach, but get it checked ASAP so you wont regret it later.



take care and hope you get better
