Details:
3 weeks in June requiring 2 ER visits due to explosive bloody combined with severe nausea and dehydration. Blood work during ER visits revealed no parasites or bacteria present.
beginning again here in September, 7 days thus far, explosive in nature but so far not bloody. No nausea yet.
Could this be Victoza related? I'd guess not because it is not constant.

In the studies, the most common Victoza side effects included:
* Nausea -- in up to 28.4% of people; * Diarrhea -- up to 17.1%, it could be Victoza related.
It is better that you seek medical attention & perhaps ask your doctor to try & prescribe another med to control your blood sugar, take care & be well!
