Watery Diarrhea, Acidity, Headache. Taking Medication. Co Workers Having Same Symptoms. Viral Stomach Flu?

Good day Sir/ Madam:
I have had watery diarhea for approximately 14 days. Other symptoms are gas, nausea and headache. When I take Pepto Bismal I have tary black stool? I have been taking Cymbalta for the past 2 months. When I search symptoms related to Cymbalta and diarhea was not one of them. I have been drinking water, juices and bananas but it temporary relieves the problem. Some of my co-workers have similar complaints. Should I treat it as a viral stomach flu or consult with my doctor? Thank you . Lise

hello dear
co workers and yourself having similar complaints of watery diarrhea strongly consider possibility of infectious source in working area like drinking water, food storage area, cooking area.
my recommendations are
1 take plenty of water
2 regular soft diet
3 sporlac sachet twice daily
if symptoms are not decreasing please consult your doctor.
