Feeling off

[rubysoho120]

I went to the gym this morning and had an almost scid burp...and it
burned my throat and totally freaked me out. I went down the locker
room and grabbed a mint and kept working out (i was proud of that) well
then when i got home i made a bagel for a snack...and i had to go potty
again. This morning it was normal...then after the gym it was slightly
soft and strange...but i figured i had french fries the day before that
threw me off a little, and i had some again last night... i couldnt
resist they were soooo good. Well im thikning thats what threw my off
today too...ibs and french fries dont go..well now i feel kinda n*
maybe i think or just a little off. We ate turkey bugers and pickles
for lunch...andi cooked them, tehy were really thin and it made
me nervous becaue there was "juice" on top of the cookes ones, but we
ate them anyways..i have felt sick since then...so i think its just
nevers...i just feel off...i had to go poop again, still soft...im so
nervous, i dont want to gte sick...im eating crackers and tea...and the
peppermint isnt helping...my nose hurts on the inside and my throat was
hurting a little too...so maybe im getting a cold...i hope not. im
scared..i didnt get all the sleep i usually do last night..i dont want
to get sick, and im alone...so i dont know what to do...do you think
the burgers were safe????? am i getting sick or do you think its just
lack of normal sleep and french fries? I hate it....grr..and my friend
wants to go shopping but now im too scared

erm... hi, i'm new...

i'll hold off on my introduction, but i'm a fellow e-phobe and ibs sufferer... so... hi, i know what it's like.

so... on with it.

do you have allergies? not to food, but you know... to... like plants? it's possible that the irritation you're feeling in your nose and throat are due to allergies. are your eyes itchy? if they are, then it's allergies.

as for the food, it sounds like everything you ate was fine. i wouldn't worry about that.

in terms of aggravating your IBS, it sounds like you might be having a minor attack which is only worsened by anxiety... but like i said, it sounds like a MINOR attack...

my guess is that you're fine, and if you stay at home you're more likely to work yourself up and stress out - making yourself feel worse.

if you go out with your friend, you'll probably feel like crap at first, but once you're out having a good time you'll feel a lot better.

and when you get home, you'll be glad you went out.

my two cents. hope it helps.

honestly, i think you're probably fine.

Thanks...I keep burping..which scares me...it tastes like pickles and
burgers! i just took some zinc...so hopefully i will feel better...i
should go out i know i should...i think i will suck it up and get my
errons done and then come home in time to see my bf thanks....im
still scared but i will pretend im fine so i will be fine

my doctor told me recently that the more anxious we are the more bile we produce... which is what causes those acidic burps... (nice, eh?)

i was also told that you can't take too many tums/rolaids.

As for the burgers if you both ate them and your'e the only one feeling sick it's not the burgers. As for the acid it probably is the fries then pickles today probably didn't help either. You should be fine!
