Been a VERY long time since I've been on these boards - at least a year or longer since I've visited. I was doing so well. I had a baby in March and the last time I was on here was when I was dealing with morning sickness at the beginning of my pregnancy! Once that passed, I was doing great. I started Zoloft for my anxiety and really felt like things were GREAT. I even v* during labor and was fine!
But ... today ... here is my issue and any advice would be appreciated!
My bowels have NOT returned to normal since I had my daughter. I went from occasional diarrhea to constipation then back to diarrhea, and most recently I've had a few months of constipation. I have a hemorrhoid from giving birth that was bleeding and causing pain so I went to my OB on Friday who told me to try Benefiber, and gave me some steroid cream. I started the Benefiber on Friday, and had some on Saturday too. However, Saturday afternoon I got really nauseous and had a bout of diarrhea. I felt OK afterwards, even ate dinner fine, but my stomach was "off" all night. Sunday morning, I was starving so I ate, and my stomach was still "off" but I just assumed it was because of Saturday. Well Sunday afternoon I got really nauseous again and felt like I was going to puke, but ended up having another bout or 2 of diarrhea. I took a small dose of phenergan and a few hours later I felt better and even went to dinner and ate (even dessert!). Well, I woke up this morning and felt like I was going to puke, and have had a few bouts of diarrhea again. I have NO idea what's going on. My anxiety has been sky high, I have been shivering/shaking from anxiety (on and off) - I'm starving but so afraid to attempt to eat anything. I've been sipping on water.
Any advice??
