I'm no doctor and have never experienced the symptoms you are talking about; however, the vomiting and diareah (sp?) sound very familiar.


HOPEFULLY IT'S ONLY A BUG!!!!

Have you had a colonoscopy? I'm not asking to frighten you but back in august while my mother was preparing for hers she vomited up all pf the the liquid and what passed through was diahreah. They did a CT scan first and a blockage. Then a colonoscopy revealed a tumor--- cancer. They got it all, no chemo or radiation needed.

Like I said before...I'm not a doctor but you may want to think about it.

I'll be thinking about you and praying it's only a bug!!!!

Gentle hugs!

Thanks Abbie! I will be mindful of what you have said. I am trying to see if a change in diet will help. My rsd has been really bad lately and I just couldn’t help but wonder if it wasn’t internal rsd perhaps in my stomach or intestines or something. I try not to jump to an rsd conclusion, but it’s all been so weird that I have started to lean in that direction. I have not had a colonoscopy.

Ps.. no worries, I don’t freak out too easily. And if this keeps up, I will have to bit the bullet and start to pursue further with a doc.

Thanks again and your prayers are appreciated!

I have RSd that affects my stomach, along with gastoritis. I get severe pain like someone is squeezing my stomach. They have detected issues with my gullbladder before with sludge going through it. My pain gets so bad that even my shirt touching my stomach hurts. I get horrible spasms and my digestion is very slow it takes my stomach nearly 3 days to digest the food I had eaten that day so it just gets backed up.

The meds I get for them is
Prilosec for the heart burn
Reglan for nausea
dycolosiclomine( not sure of the spelling) for the spasms

I have to eat very soft and easy to digest food and eat small meals every so often instead of a few big meals.

I dealt with this for years. Several random episodes per month. Rantindine (sp?) helped. It was very unpredictable and happened several times per month. There were periods where the only thing that didn't hurt to eat was ice cream. Ugh. Sparkling water also helped calm my tummy.

I've found that once I got serious about the 4 F's, while following a Paleo food plan, the issue resolved itself. It's been 2 years now since I've had this issue. If I start feeling like I'm getting the "flu" (and it's not flu, but very close) I get very strict with my diet (Paleo style, not regular dieting) and I can always head it off. Maybe I have gluten intolerance and the RSD exacerbates it, I dunno. It's worth checking out if food choices make a difference if this becomes an ongoing issue. With the holidays you probably were eating differently than normal.

And yes, it hurt for fabric to touch my stomach area as Alaska posted above. It felt like wearing skin tight jeans for 12 hours. Like my insides were bruised. And not just after vomiting, it went on for days or weeks at times. Then I'd feel fine, have no warning, and start throwing up again.

Thank you Lit Love! Oh yes, a change in diet definitely makes a difference and yes, I am guilty of not eating the way I should. However, this is going to force me to make new choices in what I put in my mouth. After I was Dx with rsd I gave up on dieting and if I wanted a cookie…. I had a cookie, or whatever else. Any reasonable person KNOWS this is not good for you. I think the depression was severe and I was feeding more than my appetite. So guess what my New Years resolution is?? You guessed it! Yes, get my diet in order and start to try and eat more healthy. I think my body is screaming for me to do just that.

It made my journey so much easier and completely changed my concept about what's healthy to eat and what's not.

on my way there now thank you!

My RSD caused gastroparesis, which makes me vomit daily. Lack of circulation from rsd causes stomach to not contract like it should to digest food. May be worth looking into. Kind of common w rsd'ers. Hope u figure it out n feel better!!

I've had rsd for 6 years,it really effects my stomache severely , I took all the different meds nexium and many others ,plus gull stones removed , gull bladder removed. Nothing helped. My stomache symtoms were severe cramps , gas pains , sweating ,bloating exc. my dr tried this drug called remeron.and let me tell you if u still have problems with your stomache and u have rsd .i think this can really help u as soon as u take it. The drug makes u tired ,so u take it at night . After u take the pill it makes u hungry ,the only time I really can eat without having pain or nausea .it is also a nuro med to I think. I would really recomend this to all of you.i think it will change your life, without sounding two dramatic.without this pill I'm bed riddin from the pain and cramping and cold sweats. I hope this helps you ?........"remeron"

Since getting this "oh so wonderful disorder" I've gotten gastroenteritis, and have bad bouts of diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. I don't know why it's effecting my stomach/digestive tracked when the disorder is in my legs, but it does. This is even when I'm not on any treatment I get the stomach thing going. Just out of the blue, and eating like normal I will have to run to the restroom and vomit, and have diarrhea. It got so bad I have a specific trash can in there for it. Isn't it just wonderful what this disorder does to us?
