Not sure what's happening? ... Help!

Hi there ... Firstly I, so grateful there is a website like this available.

I have been a sufferer for years alone and gone through periods of conqoring it and then having the phobia take back over my life. Currently my phobia is taking over my life again ... I do have a blood condition of candida and pyroles that cause constant chronic nausea and gut pain body aches etc all the time which of course doesn't help me it's hell to live with..

but the past three days I have had a different type of pain in my gut high left and also low ... It comes and goes ...comes for an hour and leaves for a few hours ...usually when I eat it comes back... And today I have just had a bout of bad cramps ....not really loads of nausea or d* at all .... Just wondering if it were a bug surely something would have started by now? Either d* of v* but it's just weird sharp pains .... Anyways it's causing me anxiety and to worry I just wanna relax and be able to enjoy my last night of holidays but I can't chill out I keep thinking what if it his is it.... Sounds stupid typing this out ... Just wondering if anyone has any advice .. Thank you

I think if it were a bug it would've started by now. I hope you're feeling better. Has your diet changed over the holidays? Mine has went to pot and my belly hasn't felt right the past few days and I know it's from all the good, gooey rich foods I've let myself have. It doesn't sound stupid, sometimes it helps just to type or write it out. I've found that most times when we have strange symptoms like that it passes and we don't know what caused it. Anxiety makes it worse of course.. This is my logical side talking..lol. I get the panic too when something doesn't feel right, I can stump my toe and interept it as n.

Lol I'm exactly the same its so ridiculous .... I'll have a sore hand and worry it will somehow lead me to v*

I have taken some zofran and I have been reading the reviews and everyone says it's amazing even with n*v* or with any of that stuff ... I wasn't even feeling out of control nausea but I was feeling anxious so thought it better I just take it to calm me down or help at least... It's been 3 days at least and my husband hasn't caught anything either ... We have been attached at the hip for the holidays ... And your right eating lots of bad food! Thank you I hope I just make it through the night

Fuck I can relate a lot to this post! Over the past year I've had weird sharp pains in my right side, and each time they come I worry it's appendicitis! Since Wednesday even the pains been back, and since then, around Friday/Saturday time? It's spread to my stomach, back (high & low), ribs etc. & ive been feeling weird spasms in my stomach area, and like cramping & period pain but with no period. It's been worrying me, too. I keep thinking "oh my is it appendicitis" "have I caught a bug" "surely I would have threw up by now" & on top of that I keep having anxiety attacks where I get a lot of spit in my mouth/my throat feels very blocked up ect. Its driving me mad. I just got done w one now, actually, which is why I'm here in the first place tonight haha. And it comes & goes! It gets bad in the evenings, like around shower time I can barely stand up because the pains easing through back back and back ribs at such force. It's weird. Right now I feel like gaggy in my throat, like I'm about to hyperventilate, you know? This phobias so awful, the way it flares back up like a bad smell
