u r doing well....stomach cramping is probably related to ur bowels rebelling as the narcotics slowed them down so much and now they are in full force...liquid imodium used as often as needed can help slow down the motility of ur stomach..it is in shock right now....easy to digest foods like the BRAT diet...bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast..phenergan can help as well and also any type of gas relief medication u have...gas builds as the stomach reacts and causes alot of cramping...when u eat u set the process in motion
just know this will pass and keep on going ..u have come a long long way...congrats!
Thanks for the advise
I guess heat sounds like the one thing I havnt tried yet. So when it gets bad ill get
a heating pad on it. Thanks very much. I took my 5th pill and I will make it now.
Bad day for sure. thanks again
You should also try immodium. It may help with the cramping.
Oh yeah - it took some meds to get my stomach in order. And it just plain took a lot of time also. The med the Doc put me on is Protonix. A proton pump inhibitor. You may want something like Prilosec or Bentyl for the stomach too. Try drinking yogurt type smoothy shakes ... avoid caffeine and carbonation. Warm flat 7-UP is good (open and sit out).. Use ensure or Walgreens brand liquid nutrition ......... ice yogurt ..... heating pad on abdomine ...... the benzo's will relax stomach muscles ... push fluids - H2O especially - renal kidney failure would be like cardiac heart attack!! Post again if you have problems getting the appetite back in gear ..... there are always things to do for it ....
