My stomach has been extremely sensitive these past few weeks. I haven't been able to eat much without feeling terrible and dashing for the bathroom. I don't know what's wrong, and I'm not home so I can't see my doctor, which I plan on doing when the break ends. It's not detrimental but I've realized that every time I eat a meal, I feel sick anywhere from ten to sixty minutes later, and my stomach reacts as it would dairy (I'm lactose intolerant) and I have d* etc. I've been good about eating - I've been eating a lot better, no dairy, minimum wheat, but for whatever reason, my stomach has been hypersensitive.
Not to try and overshare, but usually once I've used the toilet, I feel absolutely fine, but today has been weird. I had a weird stomach ache in the morning and used the bathroom, then I was fine. But tonight, I went to the bathroom feeling fine, left feeling terrible and I've been nauseous for about an hour. I'm laying down now with tea and a heating pad, I don't want to take any medicine because I need to really try and work on this myself without constantly relying on medicines.
And off topic, well off the topic of now, but I also found out that I had another stomach virus when I was only two. That doesn't impact me now. But I had grown up thinking I'd only had one stomach virus and was only sick from it once - well no, apparently, I had a very bad one when I was only about two. It bummed me out to be honest. It didn't freak me out, but I was so happy that I'd only had one stomach flu and then to hear that I had had another one was a bummer. But thankfully, they were both under the age of four. But that's part of my fear - the unknown. It's been over ten years since I've been sick!
Anyway, I hope everybody had a fantastic Christmas holiday and a happy new years. Hopefully my stomach feels better. It could be wheat, despite the fact that I haven't been eating pasta, or much wheat at all actually... I have a slight wheat intolerance, I originally tested positive for celiac but then they retested and said "borderline" or something like that. It wasn't a definitive answer, really, and so my doctor basically diagnosed it as a wheat intolerance. I'm not sure, it could just be IBS, sometimes my stomach just likes to be an asshole and put a damper on things!
