Re: New to group and need to start somewhere......

[Guest guest]

You sound about like me. I have two children and all of my problems seemed to

start several months after the last one was born. I have the same uncomfortable

feeling in my abdomen with burping and bloating but I never have vomited. I

went to the doctor and she immediately thought gall bladder because of the

location. Most of the pressure was under my right rib cage. The gall bladder

ultrasound was clear so they did a barium swallow. It was very simple and only

took a few minutes. It showed that I have gastritis. Several members on this

group thought my doctor was just grabbing at strings because he could not figure

out what was wrong but I am quickly getting better. The doctor put me on a

medication that coats the stomach about two weeks ago and my symtoms are almost

gone. I am supposed to take it for 30 days until my stomach is completely

healed. My regular internal medicine doctor is the only one I had to see.

Maybe your problems are something simple as this. I would not rush to the

hospital but a visit to your doctor wouldn't hurt.

New to group and need to start somewhere......

Hello,

I am . I am 31 (almost 32). I have 3 beautiful children ages 9, 6,

and 2. I did have a miscarriage last September at 10 weeks gestation.

This was really a shock to me as I have always had very healthy

pregnancies. At any rate, Since my 2 year old was born I have

increasing problems with my

Digestion Tract. I need to avoid certain foods or I find myself very

ill for about a day. So far the foods I must avoid are raw veggies

(especially broccoli, mushrooms, califlower) , cow's milk (although it

seems I can have food with small amounts of milk in it as long as I

don't have it several times in few days span such as ice cream), nuts

especially peanuts. And there are a few other things but these are the

ones that stick out in my mind the most.

** Sorry if this is more information than anyone wants...

Symptoms I am encountering--begins with a bloated feeling for a few

hours, rifting (small burps) which taste absolute horribly like vomit,

That usually will continue for about 5-6 hours. Abdominal pain as

whatever it is moves through my stomach and intestines. Diarrhea

(completely fluid form), and vomiting. This vomit is horrible! I know

vomit is not usually a fun thing but this is absolutely vile. Usually

thick and the worst smelling thing ever. Within the past 3-4 months I have

started having an itching and burning of my entire body associated

with this whole ordeal too! Last night my body felt as if it had been

coated in some form of hot acid. Luckily I seem to have a good idea of

which foods are triggering this most often. BUT I have at times

thought, " well maybe just this once..... " and I end up very ill. 2

days ago I had a handful of peanut M & Ms and I had an ice cream

sandwich my kids decided they didn't want.

Once everything has moved through I am dehydrated and exhausted. I

usually do not eat for about 12-24 hours after it is done. My insides

are sore--not from throwing up because I usually only vomit 3-4 times.

But sore as in my actual intestines and stuff feel tender or damaged.

My neighbor and I were discussing and she mentioned her gallbladder

was giving her some similar problems. So here I am.

I do not have health insurance and saw some tidbits on " flushing the

gallbladder " here but could not get the entire gist.

Does any of my stuff sound familiar? Any opinions as to what steps I

should take? or are you thinking I need to rush to the emergency room

and deal with the bills after I am taken care of? I just don't know

where to start and needed to bounce some of this off of other people.

Thanks for reading and again I hope I did not get more disgusting than

was desired.

I'll send you a wealth of info, off line.

This sounds rather like Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Is the itching

and burning associated with sweating? Do you turn white when

it happens? If so, this is your vagus nerve getting involved

because of the pain. It drops your blood pressure - I have no

idea why.

My biggest question is this: After your last child was born,

were you on any antibiotics? That seems to have been the

trigger for me.

If you think it might be IBS, I can send you a wonderful link

which may help.

And if anyone else out there can figure out how gallstones

and IBS may be linked, that would be hugely helpful to me!

start drinking small spoonfuls of raw apple cider vinegar a couple of times

daily - this should help with the burps and acid reflux. Your veggies should be

juiced or cooked, usually I cook mine with garlic and a good oil. Are you

exercising? I know you have 3 little kids, but you have to. Drink a lot of

water all the time. Do a liver / gal bladder cleanse. Use soy or rice milk.

Have your husband help with you doing all this and watch the kids when you are

cleansing.

if I remember - you have a OD I believe, not a typical MD. I prefer OD's. So

remember, she said she does not have insurance...welcome to America.

yES, I did have itching with the biggest one back in April. I was

itchy and burning and very pale. I did not realize that was a vagal

reaction. Wow the body sure is amazing isn't it? I assumed it was an

allergy reaction to something I ate that time but it didn't happen

every time. I did get the burning and paleness this past week though

too. My friend and I began walking daily (weekdays)about 3 months ago.

We walk between 2.5 - 3 miles in the morning. So I have getting into

better shape than I was before the walking. Slow and steady wins the

race. I have about 80 pounds total to lose but am giving myself plenty

of time to do this, no rush. I wonder if I can get myself cleansed a

bit better maybe the weight will come off easier too?

I was not on antibiotics that I recall. THanks for the advice.

I have been blessed with a wonderful husband and so he often has the

kids without any pressure at all. I also am proud to say I have been

exercising much more than before too 8) and I walk 2.5 - 3 miles

usually 4 or 5 days out of the week. i Have been doing much better

since getting this much needed exercise. Feels good to sweat you know?

I will try the apple cider for the burping thanks. I probably should

drink more water, I try to do my best. thanks 87)
