Oh poor you YD!!
What happened!!!

A medical certificate doesn't mean anything to them, if they do not want to discount the period they won't. I had a medical certificate to open and close my sickness period and they still didn't discount it (I was absent for about 14 days in a single episode due to a problem with my ears which I thought was going to make me deaf....I was crying at night in my sleep due to the excruciating pain).

As for diarrohea/vomiting they only discount the 48hrs you need after your last episode, that is if I have a flight today, go home and am sick once because tonight I have had too much to drink, tomorrow and the day after I cannot go to work to comply with FCO, so I must be off sick (although I feel fine) for 48hrs. The company will discount that episode.
However, if for the same reason I am sick for 3 days the company and those idiots who have decided to work in this field (some of them really believe it would work with flying staff) would discount only the last 48hrs and the first day would still count towards EG300. So if you're sick again in the next 3 months you're basically
