Headaches, gas, muscle soreness, vomiting and diarrhea are all things that you feel when you are sick with a stomach ‘bug” why does it actually hurt so much? And what is happening internally as it goes thru your body?

As ironic as it sounds, it’s not the bug. That’s your body telling you “you messed up, and we’re gonna fix it”
For example, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting are your body’s way of flushing your system. Poison can’t kill you if you propel the poison away from you as fast as possible. XD
Fever is one of your body’s ways to kill infections. Most microbes can’t survive intense heat, so your immune system heats you up like a furnace to burn the infection to death.
This feels bad for you because it’s technically killing some of your own body. Not much, but enough to make you feel weak and sore. Your body is trying to kill the infection before the infection kills you.
