Bad stomach!

[petes_dragon]

hi all,

Any ideas for a bad stomach - I've had a pain for about 4 days now, its kind of in the bottom part of my stomach if that makes sense!........As far as I know I haven't eaten anything unusual, I don't feel sick, i've been to the toilet (number 1 and 2) - just got a pain!!

I've tried a hot water bottle, taking painkillers, rennie and even Andrews (EURGH!!!) and nothing seems to be shifting it - and it seems to get worse every time I eat anything!!

I'm going to go to docs tomorrow if I can get an appt but is there anything you can recommend for now?

Thanks in advance

A xXx

you probably wont take this seriously but have a vindaloo tonight!

i use to suffer with a bad stomach and a customer told me to do this, i had one because evrything else failed ,the next day my pain had gone............only to be replaced by a burning sensation in my bottom!!

joking apart, when my bottom had calmed down, i noticed the pain in my stomach had gone!!

ps......i hate vindaloo's!!!!!

If you think you might have a bug try some acidophilus capsules, or those little bottles of yakult will be nearly as good. Also you could try hot water with freshly squeezed lemon juice and grated ginger. But I think you should get checked by the doc in any case. x

Get yourself tested for helicobacter or campilobacter. I had the latter one a couple of years ago and apparently 25% of the population carry it, and I was in bloody agony. Antibiotics will sort it out if that's the case.

i get that after eating fresh strawberries actually, especially if i pinch a few and eat them without washing them first, it doesn't last four days though so maybe you have strained yopurself doing some pushing or something.

if you've had it for 4 days i would def recommend a trip to the docs p-d.
on a similar note does anyone know why bananas give me a terrible crampy feeling in my stomach. i love the things aswell.

steviep - sounds like you might be intolerant or allergic to them - best leave them alone for a while.x

is it worse after you eat fatty food ?

[petes_dragon]

no, its when I eat anything!!

It's not an acidy pain (I've had a hiatus hernia and reflux for years & its not that)..........it's not a muscular pain (like period pain) either - just kind of a pain, kind of like a pain you get if you need to go to the toilet (number 2) but worse - I'm not constipated as I've been fairly regular!!

Think I'm definitely going to see my GP tomorrow!
