I NEED HELP RIGHT NOW!!!

[Girlygirl1980s]

Last night, my stomach felt off, so I didn't eat dinner. I slept fine, and ate cereal this morning. Now I feel extremely n*. I took a Reglan and some Pepto-Bismol, but I still feel yucky. Anyone out there?

[Girlygirl1980s]

I thought my Reglan would have kicked in by now, but my stomach feels horrible. I'm trying to keep my mind off it, but it's hard.

[kasey]

Hey, I am here...


OK what's up...talk to me. Try to calm down though...What did you eat last night?


I'm here.

[kasey]

Maybe you feel n* because you need something to eat...Eating cereal is about as good for you as the cardboard box it came in, I think you need something else to eat. No dinner and just cereal todaycan make you feel off...


If it was a sv*, it would have hit you last night when you first felt off...at least that is what I think.

[Girlygirl1980s]

Thanks Kasey. I'm pretty sure it isn't a sv*. I have a lot of stress right now with my dog having cancer. Last night I had some Dorritos, which I usually do, and then by the time my husband wanted dinner, my stomach felt yucky. I did have some ice cream before I went to bed, though, which again, I usually do.

[kasey]

Yep, not a sv*...You are fine hun...Stress will do amazing things to our bodies and so will doritos and ice cream[img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]


Have a good day and if you need anything, I am here.

I just hope it isn't an ulcer. My stomach sort of burns and hurts and feels overly full, even when I don't eat a lot. I do have acid reflux, but I take Prilosec for that, and this feels different.

Hi, Cereal always makes me feel really sick ESPECIALLY on an empty stomach, or one that i salready upset from th enight before...The milk isn't the funnest thing to digest. Are you alright now? I hope your reglan has kicked in...

[johnlp]

I'm here too! Hang in there. I agree with Kasey. I think you are in the clear![img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

[Girlygirl1980s]

Thanks guys. I guess I'm more worried it might be an ulcer or something from all my stress. I feel better, but not great. I think the Reglan must have kicked in because I don't feel so full now.

[kasey]

Well I think I might have an ulcer also...you need to get that checked out and so do I...I burn a lot and also just get stomach aches about 4 times a week...It's not IBS...It's a dull pain...weird.


But you should get that checked out.


Not sv* though.

[Girlygirl1980s]

Thanks Kasey. I know I should get it checked. I've had an upper GI and an upper endoscopy before, so I know what to expect. I just don't have time. I'm probably going to be running my dog back and forth to Cornell University 3 to 4 times a week for her radiation treatments soon. That's about a 2 to 2-1/2 hour drive one way. Tomorrow is her first visit, and I hope my stomach is feeling better by then.

Reglan works miracles. I love it. I think probably all of the milk products. Ice cream and milk would put me over the edge. I've always loved milk. Sometimes I can do it and sometimes I can't. Before I went through the upper GI and stuff, I would get a simple blood test for H-Pylori. Most all ulcers are caused from H-Pylori. Biaxin will cure that. I feel so bad about your dog. We took my sisters Pom to UGA for months to get radiation treatments. It was so hard on us. We loved him so much. I hope everything turns out OK with him. He looks precious.

[Girlygirl1980s]

Thanks Kayron, about Sammie. I hope everything turns out OK, too. I've been praying every day for her. I agree that the milk products may have added to my discomfort. It seems to keep coming and going. I ate a few dry crackers, and then I felt a little crappy again, and now I'm OK. Who knows what's wrong!

[kayron]

Milk causes me to get bad gas. That could be the crampy, full, churning feeling. Maybe a gas-x would help. Couldn't hurt. I'll be praying for Sammie too. I am such an animal lover. I am so weird I don't even like to call my Katie a dog. I call her baby. She is truly like my baby. When I first adopted her from the local shelter, I had to get up at night and rock her because she had kennel cough. It is the only thing that would ease her. Then we dealt with Parvo 2 weeks later. Nice shelter huh! She is doing great and I love her dearly. I commend you on doing what you are doing with her. Some vets scream the dreaded 'put them down.' That is not an option for me. I just couldn't do it. I would do all that I could do.

[swiftette]

I know this is gonna sound strange but Dorritos could have been the problem. We had this discussion a while back and alot of people surprisingly have this stomache fullness and yuckiness with eating those darn things.

[harmonygirl72]

I was thinking that,too, Swiftette! I don't usually like to tell people on here what I ate last before doing the deed, but I shared that one once because it seemed that it had happened to many of us! I don't touch 'em now!

Kayron, I also refer to my dog as "my baby" or "my little girl."Thanks so much for your prayers [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

[kasey]

My dogs are my children...I am thinking of you and Sammie and ya'll are in my thoughts. I know how hard it is to watch your baby be sick or in pain...


I am thinking of you.
