Nauseated....and meds
 

Maybe I ate something bad today...I feel nauseated and am not sure what to do about my meds.
I have been taking tums and mylanta trying to see if that will quiet my stomach....which is hurting.
I can't believe that this situation has never come up for me before...I never get an upset stomach....
blah blah blah....

I am so sorry you are feeling rotten. I wonder if tea might make you feel better. I would take the pills and if you throw up you throw up. I would wait til tomorrow to take them again.
I wonder if it is something you ate? There is a flu going around here but i think it is more a coughing flu.
Feel better and keep warm.
Love
Bobby

Thank you bobby,
I took my meds and also some advil and 1mg of klonipin which I never take anymore but remembered someone telling me to take that for bad cramping...
I also drank some lemon in hot chamimille tea....so who knows what has helped..I am feeling no nausea now but still bad stomach ache....heading to bed....going to try a heating pad, my back is hurting as well as my pelvic area, too soon for that time of the month.
thanks for listening to me.

i hope I sleep tonight:o

Dear Bizi,
Yuck.
Sorry about this.
The only med I worried about missing because of nausea is the benzo (2.5 Klonopin) I take.
Most meds you can take a half day later and be ok on.

I hope that the pain abates and that you are getting to sleep now.
You'll feel better in the morning.

:hug: hi sweets. i'm sorry i wasn't online last night. i didn't realize i hadn't logged off when lil'monkey took over the computer. :rolleyes:

try and stay on your meds if you can. if you think you are going to throw them up...then wait. keeping your chemicals balanced is usually the best thing. or take them as close to on time as you can.

you know me...gonna ask the questions...is your urine clear?

symptoms of a bladder(urinary track) or kidney infection are pretty much the same as the cramping before your period.

any fever?

i hope you got a good nights sleep. :hug:

Thanks you guys,
I feel better this morning.
Stomach is sore from cramping, but slept great on a heating pad which helped as well.
going to take it easy on food today.
thanks again

I came and went quickly (12 hours or so) who knows what is was, doesn't lsound long enough for a flu virus....I think it was something I ate at lunch, had a bowl of gumbo that tasted like chicken enchilada soup...even had jalepenos on it...for a gumbo!!!!!! not!
any way I am glad that I am so much better today...pretty much back to normal.

I have this same pain tonight after eating at a local chinese restaurant. But I am wondering if this is gall bladder pain, same location right jsut below rib cage on right side....aching and cramping no nausea this time...crap this jsut happen 2 weeks ago.:(
Maybe it is my gall bladder acting up...great! jsut what I need.
what is the treatment, food restrictions meds for this if any or do they just take out the gall bladder?
I don't know anything about this.
anyone here have any experience/knowledge of gall bladders?
thanks bizi

low fat
 

Bizi,

If you suspect gall bladder, go ahead and make an appointment. According to this CNN article below, some blood work can be ordered for possible diagnosis.


Or you could go zero saturated fat and tons of fruits and veggies and water for a few weeks and see how that goes. (After gall bladder removal, patients are told to eat less fat I think.)

I've seen gall bladder flushes described on the web. You are not supposed to do them when you are in the midst of an attack. One time hubby tried to do a liver flush --- but that was with the help of my acupuncturist. I don't know enough about that stuff to mess around with it on my own.

I rarely eat chinese food. I don't even like the taste or smell. But mostly I feel miserable afterwards. Something about the food doesn't work well with my body.

So I have no good guesses about what is going on with you. I hope you will feel ok soon.

Contact Mrs. Bear. One of her sons had gall bladder surgery.

you can have just sluggish gallbladder,
 

and that will not show up on tests (except very invasive ones).

I had that problem and fixed it (by accident) with a tea called Yerba Mate. A friend gave me this tea for a gift a couple of years ago. Have had no right sided pain since! (my pain was in the back below the ribs and quite awful). All my tests were negative for stones.
This tea is an antioxidant tea, drunk in S.America culturally and is very popular there. It happens to be much higher in antioxidants than green tea. But it also
is a cholertic. ( I have a congenital malrotation of the GI tract, so I get torsions, nausea and sometimes obstructions with it). I use the organic unsmoked variety by EcoTeas. (have to get it online as stores don't typically have it)

Another thing that helps is the amino acid taurine. That is a very benign option.
(no side effects etc). It improves bile flow.

I use ginger for nausea. It works very well for me. It is inexpensive too.

Hi sweetheart. If you have gall stones, a flush could push the stones into the bilary tubes and cause serious complications. It would be best to see a gastro doc first.

Right side pain that presents after eating can be gall stones or a sluggish gall bladder. Both boys had slow empty-ing gall bladders and had to have them removed.

They were diagnosed by a hyda scan. Which was very simple. They laid on a bed and the tech observed their digestive flow with a CAT I think (or ultra sound, I can't remember now.) But, mid way through the test they introduced a chemical that made the gall bladder think that fat had entered the digestive system and then they observed how quickly the gall bladder emptied. Then the tests were interpreted by the gastro and we went to a surgeon from there.

They both had ultra sounds prior to this test that showed neither boy had gall stones.

A diet of limited fat was the only way to keep the pain to minimum. Keeping hydrated was important as well. But both boys were vomiting profusely.

I was told by several nurses that most people ended up in the ER because of the pain before a diagnosis was made. Con did not, but Wes did. He had vomited so much he was bleeding in his esophegus.

SO, don't let it get that far.

If it is a gall stone issue, and ultra sound will see them.

My oldest sister and my brother had slow gall bladders and my youngest sister had stones. Only 2 of us left out of 5 siblings without the surgery.

Hang in there and get thee to a doctor.

:hug:

Thank you mrs. Bear....
the weird thing is that I did not eat that high a fat content at dinner...but ate a lot of stir fry shrimp maybe there was a lot of oil in that???
I aprreciate your post and that is alot of folks in your family having to have the same surgery...wonder if it is heriditarily linked at all.

NOt sure what to say. I have a gall stone with other things. But they aren't doing anything with mine. ANd some kidney stones, nothing there either at this point. Other issues more in need of taking care of.
