Watery diarrhea, cramping, and feeling wiped out for weeks instead of days? That's not a typical stomach bug; that's often Cyclospora, a parasite that shows up in DFW most summers, usually tied to contaminated produce.
Regular food poisoning clears up in a day or two. Cyclospora can drag on for weeks if it's not caught and treated properly.
If a stomach bug is lasting longer than it should, it's worth getting tested instead of waiting it out.
