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 goodI 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.

Hope you get better soon, badger. It might be simply worth not going into work for 1 day and simply rest in bed. Eat nice, healthy foods that feels comfy to you.
A few months ago, I had surprisingly powerful case of ..I don't know what it was..stomache flu. It lasted for about 48 hrs.
After a meeting in an area where the air quality is not the best (light industrial), I cycled 5 kms. back to the office. 2 hrs. later I was achy, dizzy and feverish.
I had to cycle slowly back home, just a few kms. Thank God for bike paths in the middle of the day when there's hardly anyone.
Then slept for 12 hrs. straight and ate nothing for lunch nor supper. I couldn't bear the thought of going to work-related big group free buffet luncheon-meeting. So I stayed at home. Good thing.
First time in life I had such a powerful negative response of fast-track virus or whatever.

遙知馬力日久見人心 Over a long distance, you learn about the strength of your horse; over a long period of time, you get to know what’s in a person’s heart.
hey, it's been a while!? any resolution?
Mine eventually went away, and I attributed it to anxiety because that was around the time (subconsciously) that I was getting ready to break up with my boyfriend. It still lasted a couple of weeks after that but all's well again.
