ohh nooooo they are the worst! feel better  

No fun! I had a touch of that yesterday but much better today. Hope you start feeling better quickly. 

Nope, doesn't count just like weight gain from water retention. Drink at least 8 glasses of water each day and rest up. You might need to give it a few days before you can get back to it. Listen to your body.  

Hope ya feel better soon! 

Thanks all. my dr thinks it may be a stomach ulcer.... im afraid to eat a real meal. my diet has been graham crackers all day. I get my meds tomorrow 🥴 

I believe You're over the worst of it and will soon be feeling better! 

Stomach ulcers are no joke. Feel better. I am getting a colonoscopy later this month. Same thing. 

I feel so bad for you, those stomach cramps & nausea are the worst! I went through a time when I took Topomax for my migraines & it destroyed my stomach! Gave me a stomach ulcer in just 2 weeks of taking it! I had to guve up my beloved (caffinated) Chai's cold turkey & all spicy food. I could only eat 1 hard boiled egg & an Ensure a day! I had crazy weight loss - down to size 4 (I was normally a 10 then)! i was VERY thin. When my stomach healed (on Nexium) I leveled off at size 8 for years! I thought I couldn't gain weight anymore, so I ate whatever I wanted - till my body said Oh no you didn't! 😆 Now I'm a size 14 trying to lose weight, & still on Nexium bc of chronic GERD. So much fun! 🥺 So, I hope you don't have a stomach ulcer, just a bug you got from your kids! Hope you feel better soon with the meds too!  

Kaylin, sorry to hear that you got sick. Hopefully, a medication helps to improve symptoms. There are some foods which are good for healing and protecting stomach, so don't be afraid of eating real foods. Good foods make you strong and healthy. I saw your profile and you described yourself as a stress eater. You know that stress can cause so many health problems, so think about your situation. Are you getting any stress? If you are, don't let stress eat you. Regarding stomach diseases, I have a family history and myself had acute/chronic gastric ulcer and GERD previously. If a doctor prescribes antibiotics, don't forget to eat probiotics especially. Antibiotics kill not only bad bacteria but also our good gut bacteria as well. I hope you feel better and get well. 💖🌹🌺🌼🌻🌷 

Anne thanks SO much for the advice! yes i know stress is a big part. its caused my ldl to be above normal. Anxiety. and stomach problems. i didnt consider a probiotic because of the antibiotic. thats smart, thank you!
