I get sick with diarrhea and stomach sickness every few months. Is that a possible flare up? I have never gotten so sick as much as I have in the last 2 1/2 years.

You might want to try Imodium for Diarrhea and either Nauzene or Bonine Tablets for that sea sick feeling. Saltine crackers are also helpful.
I hope you feel better.
