stomach issues

[alexis_the_tiny]

Does the weird achy feeling in the solar plexusfeel like your stomach is hollow and empty but you're quite bloated and full? Stomach problems can usually be anxiety or stress even if it is caused by a bug.

Go to a doctor and see what's up with it. And eat easy to digest simple carbs for now. White rice porridge always works for my stomach when it does anything like that...

I suppose anxiety can play on the bug. It's been about a week now, and I think it was kind of weird before, but it started getting bad after a meal I had last Sunday. A couple of hours later I started getting intestinal cramps. I took some activated charcoal so it didn't transpire into diarrhea, but I suppose that may have kept the bugs inside my body a bit instead of diarrhea flushing it out? sorry it's a bit TMI.

I would imagine this will eventually pass, but my boyfriend didn't think this was normal. I haven't thrown up, nausea doesn't get that bad, but it really does impact my eating and apetite. I may just pop into a walk in clinic to rule anything serious out.

Could you be pregnant? I had a similar stomach problem when I was pregnant many, many moons ago. I totally thought I had a bug and didn't figure it out until I saw the doctor for something entirely different.

pretty sure I'm not, it'll have to be an immaculate conception

LOL! Well, miracles do happen, right?

Do you think its an ulcer/reflux? I have a myriad of stomach issues and what you are describing sounds like what I had - hollow feeling in the same region, nausea which felt better after I ate but then returned shortly thereafter. Turns out that I had h-pylori which is the bacteria that causes ulcers and reflux. I went on antibiotics to get rid of the h pylori and nexium for the reflux and it went away. I would see a GI if the symptoms persist.

I'd second going to a doctor. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Can you eat yogurt, do you eat yogurt? I have irritable bowel syndrome, and find eating yogurt keeps it happier.
