Diarrhea and intestinal discomfort for 5 days. Should I make an appointment with my doctor or wait a few more days?

It is likely that PeptoBismol is not helping your situation. I would recommend waiting a few more days before seeing a doctor if you don't have any alarming signs such as weight loss, blood in the stool, mucus in the stool, or dehydration. In the meantime, try to identify what you eat in the morning that is missing from your diet the rest of the day. Additionally, be careful with fruit as the natural sugars in it can also cause this effect. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
