does anyone have any idea what might cause repeated episodes of 24 vomiting and diarrhea? . i have had four episodes of vomiting and diarrhea in the last 4 months. in october it was a week apart. then nothing til the end of december then again in january. i have no symptoms leading up to these episodes. i wake up in the morning nauseous start having diarrhea for several hours then it progresses into vomiting and diarrhea. 24 hours later i am fine. i go back to eating normally and have no symptoms. . any ideas? any other possible explanations or things i can do to find out definitively?
to start out try a food diary. write down everything you eat in a day. note down when you have your symptoms. in time this can help you see patterns. you could have a problem with a food allergy or you could be getting some kind of cross contamination when you cook. if the food diary doesn't show patterns a doctor will be able to rule out other possibilities. it might help to note down times you are stressed out sometimes that can cause problems too.
