Help please.. severe indigestion and bloating

[sophiee]

I ate a tuna sandwich and the tuna was already made it was like a ready to eat tuna in a packet and every since then i felt sooo bloated nauseas and stuffed with nasty food on the bottom of my stomach and gas. I feel so terrible right nw i feel like gagging. Im deathly afraid i don't want to get sick.. I need reassurance i might go into a panic atack mode or something.. i tried drinking water but it has yet to effect anything.. What can i do? I have no medicine, how well does Tums work? does it make you get sick? Does it not do anything? What are some home remedies? I'm bound to digest the food out of my stomach sooner or later right? I think i ate around 4:40 and its now 7:18 how much longer will this madness go on... I still feel as bloated as i did right after i ate. I've learned my lesson i won't eat like that ever again Gahh! im repeating things im so scared D: What can i do?! Please someone help me... It feels so gross like the only way out of it is... well you know.. throwing up but i know there has to be another way! Will it digest on its own? How long do you think that will take? Im severely indigested and bloated i almost feel as if im pregnant ):

Sounds like either you ate to fast, or could there be something in the tuna you might have a sensitivity to? I don't think you will v* ...indigestion does not result in v*, tums will help if you have acid reflux but if not then they might just make you feel more full.

Do you have any anti-emet drugs ?

I find that sometimes in these situations I feel like i want ot burp but I can't, so a fizzy drink helps don't gulp it just sip it slowly and it may help, if you cna stand it squeeze a half a lemon into either some water (cold) or the fizzy drink and try to drink it. Lemon has great disinfecting soothing properties it works wonders for the tummy.

Also my mom used to make this (not sure how youd like it I found it made me gag but it workd) shed squeez half a lemon, about 1/2 to a cup of water and a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass and make me drink it. It will make you burp like a champ! if you can stomach it you will burp and digest lik a pro. Since i've lived away from home I haven't made it cause I hate the taste but there are days I feel like I could use it .

hope you feel better soon hon

Take some pepto, it sounds like indigestion. Those tuna packets are some of cleanest food you can possibly eat, so I don't think you could have possibly gotten fp from it. The need to gag is from anxiety (anxiety makes you tense up) so if you relax that will go away. The pepto will take care of the gas and acidity.

And I second the drinking something fizzy so you can burp. It will make you feel better.
