Ok.....I am 19 and up until about a month
ago had really no abnormal stomach
problems. Then over christmas break,
there was one week where every single day
I woke up feeling so nauseous, afraid I
would throw up. I never once threw up or
actually got sick though. It would get
better through the day, I wasn't eating
much lunch, then after I ate dinner it
would hurt again. Like I said, lasted a
week and then I was back to normal. Now
it seems that atleast once a week, usually
more often, I have kind of re-occurances.
I've also started having very frequent
heartburn/indigestion. When I take an
antacid for the heartburn, it will help
ease my stomach a bit. I've also kind of
been alternating b/t constipation and then
not quite diarrhea, but close. Anyone
have any ideas of what it could be? I
would really appreciate any input at all!

Hi there! Sorry to hear about your
problems, I have been there and still have
some problems. I am not a Dr., have
you talked to your Dr. About this?
It sounds like it could be i.B.S(irritable
bowel syndrome), galbladder problem or
gerd, you might even need to get a
colonoscopy, again, I am no Dr., it does
sound like something you should get
checked out, please keep us posted.
The best to you!
Sincerely,
sandy

It sounds like what I had over the month
of december.. Which turned out to be a
stomach bug that just wouldn't go away!!
It doesn't sound like ibs because that
wouldn't make you nauseaous... I was
constantly nauseaous (mostly after I ate
or when I woke up) and it seemed like no
matter what I ate it just made it worse..
I would go back and forth between the
diarrhea and constipation as well. It
gradually got better and took over a month
to fully go away. I would keep an eye on
it.. But the fact that it came on
suddenly makes me think you have something
viral. It could have irritated your
stomach to be causing the reflux. I
would try taking the prilosec otc medicine
once a day for the next two weeks to get
the heartburn down.. This may ease the
reoccurence of the stomach aches.. Also,
if your stomach is still not settled down
it can cause indigestion which can cause
diarrhea or contipation.

Thank you both so much for replying!
I'll try and wait it out a little
longer...I've been taking the generic
pepcid for the heartburn and it helps!
If it doesn't go away soon, i'm gonna call
the dr's and see if they think I need to
come in. Thanks again!

Somthing New Now... Posted: 02-10-05 20:15pm
Okay, the upset stomach is pretty much
gone now, finally! But it seems like I
get full really quick when i'm eating, but
a few hours later i'm starving already!
Any ideas about what it could be, or is
still just me getting over a stomach virus
or something? (if thats what I had)

Sounds like it might just be your body
compensating for not eating normally from
the stomach "bug".. Sounds normal.. It's
a pain isn't it!
