diarrhea after prizer 2 vaccine

I had pfizer dose 2 about 3 weeks + ago. I have had diarrhea every day since then. I have eliminated all fruits, veggies, beans, etc., anything with fiber. No relief. I am a senior citizen, and have never had this symptom . So it is extremely out of my ordinary health state. I am generally healthy, no pre-existing conditions. Any commonts are welcome.

@jshdma- That's a long time to have diarrhea. You must be feeling very poorly. Not having fiber could be contributing to it because that's what keeps your bowels firm. . Stomach problems are common after the covid vaccine but not as common as headaches or fevers.

If you had no preexisting symptoms prior to having the vaccine you are one lucky lady! Letting diarrhea go for this long can be very serious because you are also losing a lot of fluid. You could have coincidently had a stomach bug or infection too. We seem to think that after having the COVID-19 vaccine that anything after that is caused by the vaccine, but that's simply just in our minds because we expect something different after something new has been introduced into our system. There are still common colds, infections, etc. bugging people.

Have you taken any medication for it? I suggest that you call your doctor and see what he suggests ASAP. I would advise you to call today. I consider this an emergency.

@ishdma
I don't wish to alarm you but this is really an emergency at this point.
Please do as @merpreb suggested and contact your Doctor or possibly go to the ER. I had days of diarrhea many years ago and my daughter took me to the ER. My BP was so low I saw the Doctor immediately and was given an IV to get my fluids up. I remember feeling so much better but was admitted for a few days because the origin of the diarrhea was unknown and the only thing I could think of at that time was food poisoning.
I also am a healthy senior with no underlying medical conditions but this is serious for you at this point.

Please let us know

@jshdma That is a long time to have diarrhea.

You'll notice that I moved your question to an existing discussion related to vaccine side effects. I did this so you could connect with members like @rolla0812 @drleiferman in a central location.

May I ask what you are doing to stay hydrated?
