I’ve been experiencing some digestive issues for about 2 weeks now. On and off nausea, loose stools, frequent urgency. I thought maybe I was experiencing hormonal symptoms (period came and went last week) or a stomach bug (DS had one 2 weeks ago).
It’s been so randomly on and off - not seemingly related to particular foods - I’m worried that something else is going on. It’s not particularly painful but it’s pretty disruptive. Would you see a doctor in my situation?

Of course go if you’re worried.
You might also wait a couple weeks and start keeping a journal. You could also try a probiotic, I would think it won’t hurt. But generally write down everything you are eating/drinking (like caffeine) and when the BMs and symptoms happen. Note outside influences like stress. Digestive stuff can be hard to diagnose and I would think some data like this would help them not just shrug you off. And if it is somehow related to the virus, a couple more weeks should let it pass.

I feel like digestive issues are tough for doctors to diagnose or maybe mine are just... inadequate physicians. I would only go if I was losing weight and felt like death for like 2 weeks.
Has something stressful come up in the last 2 weeks? I read somewhere that serotonin is directly related to your gut biome so that's why stress causes so many digestive issues. They're like instantly connected. For what that's worth.
