I would definitely bring along some chewable dramamine! Usually with motion s* there is enough warning when one starts to feel queasy that you could give them the dramamine at the very first sign of...

Hi neuroticwisher,

How are you doing now? I'm sure by now you know whether or not that hot dog gave you any negative effects! It is probably too late to really be helpful, but once in grad school,...

Thanks everyone. I started feeling much better after taking the Dramamine...not sure if it had a placebo effect or what but I'm glad it worked. This morning I had some digestive upset as well but at...

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted in a while because I've been doing pretty well with my emet. I also have been doing well with avoiding self medicating for when I do feel slightly n* or s*. I have...

Hi Anw,

I'm sorry you didn't hear from anyone when you needed help. How are you doing now?

I think if you washed your hands well, and especially with the addition of washing your clothes, you'll be fine! Any time I'm not super directly exposed (like if I'm just around someone who has had...

One of the things I try to do when I think there is a chance it could just be anxiety (like if I have been doing well with hand hygiene and haven't been exposed that I know of) is I just try to push...

Is there a different bathroom you can use? I would just treat the house like I treat the "public" world - don't touch anything in the bathroom if you share the bathroom with them (use toilet paper or...

Thanks for responding, AoD. I am concerned too about the diarrhea. I've had some probiotics but nothing seems to have helped.

I rarely feel constipated, and usually only when I've eaten too many...

Thanks to both of you for responding. As of today, my stomach cramps are gone, and my temperature has been normal. I'm still having random bouts of d*, and it is still pure liquid with strange flakes...

​Hi again. I am now 12 hours from the start of my symptoms. Still having pretty severe abdominal cramping every 10-15 minutes and running a low fever at 99. D* quantity is less and I am only going...

Hey all. Doesn't look like anyone has tuned in to my thread, but wanted to update in case anyone replies. Fever has come and gone, but the highest it was was 99, so I don't know if that even really...

Took my temperature again and it was 99.3, then a third time and it was 98.9. I've been lying under the covers in bed so maybe that's why it's elevated? Please read and respond, anyone!

Also, forgot to mention, my temperature is a normal 98.6!

Hi everyone,

I'd like to share what's been going on with me for the past few hours and would love your opinions on what this is and what I should do about it. I'm pretty confused and scared.
...

I'm sure you will be fine! You probably won't even have an upset stomach or any noticeable side effects, and even if you think you do, it's probably just anxiety! I've swallowed gum many times, and...

Hi all,

I have been diagnosed IBS-D (mostly, although sometimes I think it's combo) that is very directly affected by food, particularly greens and dairy. I've pretty much completely cut out dairy...

Hi Anne!

I have felt this feeling too when getting on boats - I have lived for 27 years without feeling s* on a boat but when my anxiety is high (has been so the past couple of years) I feel...

Welcome Eszter!

While I don't think this idea is the healthiest, it really helps me in those situations. For me, probably about half the time I eat I feel some kind of discomfort after, whether...

Did you have an appetite today? If so, it's probably just the combination of foods. I bet pepto will help! In that situation I usually also sip on Ginger Ale or Coke. I bet you'll feel better after a...

Good evening everyone,

I had an appetite all day but had a long work day and wasn't able to eat until about 5:30pm, at which time I had some butternut squash ravioli. I have IBS that has been...

Hi KarMar,

Are you able to function normally just with discomfort? Are you able to go to your job? Distract yourself from your symptoms with TV or a book? Go for a walk? I had a SV with no v* last...

Hi ruhligv,

So yes, apparently SV's are running rampant right now. I'm in Austin and they've been everywhere around here! Here's the good news:
My boyfriend (who I live with), his son, his son's...

Hi Sarah429,

I'm so sorry you had that experience! I'm sure you did a good job with your personal hygiene and chances of getting it are very low. I know every time I've been exposed and gotten s*...

No more full abdominal cramping - just general malaise today with some light bowel cramping and one soft tiny bm. Took 100mg Dramamine last night and slept comfortably. Took pepto this morning since...
