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.

Any luck with this badger? I've been feeling sort of the same way for a couple weeks. Only difference in my diet lately has been a little less yogurt (I can't eat that stuff and then run or bike for a few hours, so if I'm doing anything in the morning it's toast for breakfast). Running and biking pretty much make me queasy now, which is no good I was really hoping the whole thing was just anxiety about my race on Saturday but it's over and I'm still yucky.

Have you tried drinking some salty beverages? Seriously, I've learned over the years that for me it's usually mild hyponatremia, and if it goes on for more than a couple of days it's never been anything else.

I'm willing to try anything (that doesn't cost what a doctor's appointment would) at this point. I'd be surprised if that's it, after the soup I've had for dinner the past two days, but it's worth a shot!

It's frustrating because the smell of food, which usually makes queasy worse if I'm actually sick, is still very very enticing. But then when I actually go to eat nothing is appealing but toast or soup. I love food. I miss food.
