Sore stomach

[mycats]

I have had a really sore stomach since yesterday afternoon :-( I was up and down all night before I gave up and got up at back of six. My stomach feels tight and is swollen. Any ideas what it could be or what I can do?
I thought it was trapped wind but doesnt seem to be. It's driving me mad!

poor you. your stomach will tend to bloat if you have a grotty tummy. Imodium is fantastic and works very quicky so get some of that and drink plenty of water. You may just be dehydrated. try and stay away from dairy products and if you need to eat something have a bit of dry bread or biscuit. god you can tell im a mother cant you. get better soon x

Aww mycats thats a shame. Excellent advice from mammy spanner though, I find a hot waterbottle could help too if your crampy. Hope it feels better soon x

Hi. If you live in the UK & have a SAVERS shop near you, they do a variation of Imodium called Diarrhoea Relief.It has the same ingredients as Imodium & only costs 99p for 6. The main ingredient to look for is Loperamide hydrochloride. Both makes have the same amount 2mg in it.

Oh mycats, you poor thing. Try some peppermint tea too, that will help with any gas and bring the swelling down. It's not the nicest drink in the world but you'll have had a lot worse in your life I'm sure!

I'm stuck at home in the middle of nowhere *sob* poor me lol
I tried a hot water bottle, didnt help, but thanks.
You are soo right though jiggy-jb I have had a lot worse, I'm sure I'll cope lol x (I had a cat called Jiggy rofl)

Fantastic name for a cat, lol! I was meaning you'll have tasted worse medicine, like kaolin and morphine (sp) and indian brandy! If i ever tried to bunk off school my mum always offered me the choice of taking either of those medicines or going to school...I went 9 times out of 10, lol!

Just take it easy and tried to get comfy, you'll be fine soon and you have us lot for company x

Ah right Jiggy, sorry didnt get what you meant, but you are right
