Diarrhea for a week+other symptoms?

For the past week I've had diarrhea every single time I've eaten and then some. Basically every 30 minutes to an hour I'm going. The color ranges from yellow to a grey color. There is no part that solids. It feels like pee coming out yet the other hole obviously.

I've also had "egg water" burps and have vomitted 4 times in the past week.

I feel relatively fine, slightly weak and out of energy but for the most part fine.

I'm 21 and female if that helps.

I just want to know what's going on. I don't have insurance so I only go to the doctor if I really have to.

    Diarrhea for a week or more then you indeed need to see a doctor.

    It could be anything, from a virus to a bacterial infection in your stomache, however i would not worry.

    Make sure you keep hydrated! As as we all know Diarrhea dehydrates you.

    I hope you get better soon! and good luck

    Have you had your thyroid checked? It sounds like you have a problem with it. The bad cramps and diarrhea are probably from the milk you keep drinking. You may have a dairy allergy or be lactose intolerant. I'd cut out that milk. A food allergy can really drag you down and cause all of those symptoms. Start taking vitamins and get exercise whether you feel like it or not.

    Something is irritating. Drink a lot of water, and take charcoal to buffer whatever irritation you have. (Probably some bug has colonized some part of your digestive system, and when you eat, you feed the bug.) after 48 hours, take a very small amount of liquid (fruit or vegetable juice) and see how your system tolerates it. There are a couple of other possible problems, and if after 48 hour of fasting with charcoal, you can't work up to normal eating over a two day period, (of gradually increasing the size of the meals) you probably should see a doctor.

    Have you tried any over the counter medicines? I think if you have diarrhea for a week, you really should see a doctor.
