I had problems with my stomach a few years ago, i was very ill for 4 weeks.
I was running for the sh*t and had 39,8 degrees fever, been to the hospital several times for bloodtests, stoolltests etc, but nothing has been found. after about 3 weeks everything went back to normal.
The doctor told me that it was probable a parasite or bacteria, which already left my body before the first tests happened, but the reaction of your body is still there.
Usually you start with 3 days being ill (bali belly, travel diahrhae etc), then you go to a doctor giving you a better/stronger medicine and by the time that medicine seems not to be working , you are already a week or longer sick and the parasite is gone.
