I've had strep about a hundred times, but mostly as a kid/teen, so it's hard for me to say personally. But I did see my brother with it not too long ago, and I do think it was 4-5 days before he started showing any real improvement. And yes, he got a weird rash, too. I think losing your appetite and all the rest are pretty normal symptoms as well.
Even so, if you're not feeling better in the morning, I'd definitely call the doctor and ask if that's normal. I'm sure he's going to say it is, but it can't hurt to have the reassurance. 
I wish I had some good home treatments to suggest, but my mom's standard illness remedy - a good strong hot toddy - is kinda not-IBS-safe, heh.
Hope you feel better soon, Kelly!
