Tummy Pain

For about a week now, and it's worst at night. I'm not running a fever, and the pain seems to be right above my belly button. And I don't have my gallbladder anymore, that was taken out when I was 15 or 16. Also, the pain doesn't seem to matter what I eat, although I have been very nauseated the last few days too on top of it. And ideas would be nice. Thanks.

oh, and there is NO way I would be pregnant (smile, in case any one should ask that question)

oh and this is not a should-i-go-to-the-doctor question, ok? I'm a little anti-doctor right now, and i'm SICK OF TESTS and POKING and Prodding. so , i really would just like suggestions... 'k?

Do what you can to make sure things are moving in the colon, and maybe get what ever kind of exercise you can.  Do you swim?

Hang in ther.  I completely understand the sick of doctors thing.  I am tired too.

Oh Sweetie...I feel for you honey and we don't mind the little yell coming from you!  Opie may have a point in that you may be a little constipated and you may need to get things moving a little...I don't know...perhaps it's a little flu bug???

I just hope you start to feel better soon and I can relate to being anti-doctor...I am too and I have decided that for the most part, going to the doctor is a big waste of my precious time.  I hope things start to work better for you soon sunshine!

Lots of soothing hugs,
Rena

I did put a call into my doctor for a renewal of my Prevacid which could help my acid which is a lot worse this week, along with the nausea. It not a constipation problem (smile)... as I'm having the opposite of that. Could be a flu, but I usually run a fever with that and ache, and that's not happening this time, and it's been a week now, so I'm figuring that my tummy is just unhappy right now.

Hopefully it will allllllll just get better soon.

Thanks for the hugs!

I'm just healing up from a virus that didn't give me a fever, but gave me awful pain in my stomach, nausea; heck, I went to the ER in case it was appendicitis!

Viruses can apparently make you feel really awful without giving you a fever and body aches.  I just felt really tired, kind of like usual, lol!

My doctor's advice nurse keeps calling and checking on me, and told me to eat a bland diet, specifically bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast.

It's been just over a week since my trip to the ER, and I'm feeling a lot better.

You can try giving your tummy food that's easy to digest, not spicy or high in fat, and see if that eases things some.

More hugs from me!

If you're having *that* problem, it could be your colon cramping up.  It'll also cause your stomach to be upset, because it's just like squeezing a tube of toothpaste.

As Kathy says, a bland diet wouldn't hurt - and if it's the colon, it'll help keep it from cramping quite so much.  Spastic colons react more to hard-to-digest proteins like leafy greens.
