Q: Sudden Fever, Nausea, Joint Aches, Diarrhea
asked by: edupat940 on December 23rd, 2007

Wednesday night i had a sudden onset of fever, joint aches, stomach cramps and yellow diarrhea. We had three Christmas parties at the office and I think I may have eaten something bad or caught a virus or bacteria somehow. The fever is gone and so are the joint aches. The watery diarrhea is also gone but i still have soft golden brownish yellow stools. It has been 3 or 4 days since I first got sick.

Any idea what this might be?

You shouldn't worry too much about it, Depending on what we eat. The color of our stool may vary. Though if it has a hint of blood in it, You might want to get that check out. But light brown usually indicates it hasn't fully digested (Read it somewhere). And a darker brown, Usually means you may have been constipated or the stool has been in your intestines for a while.
But don't stress about it, It should clear up a bit in a few days. If it persists, Try changing your diet and see if that helps. =]
