NO WATER 3 DAYS, FEELING BETTER

I have spent the last 5 days in misery. I am not sure what I did to myself with an egg, but I was convinced I would never get over it. I went back to see the Dr because I was having intense pain with every tiny sip of anything, even warm water! He gave me Carafate and told me it could be an ulcerated area or a stricture forming. I was to see if avoiding water helped, and return in 1 week for testing if it was not resolved. I qui****er and it improved! I quit all but gatorade, which still hurt, but not as bad as the water. For 3 days I lived on about 8oz gatorade daily. Yesterday upped it to 20 oz, and 4 oz soup and today I had 1/2 baked potato, cream of wheat and tuna/eggsalad puree. 24oz watered down gatorade and did pretty well, some minor pain. A few swallows of water in the shower were painful! What's up? I am having stools and no vomiting, any ideas???

Wow, Deb, I'm not any help other than I sure hope you are feeling better and I'm thinking about ya! I can't imagine why water would be hurting you! Let us know what you finally find out! Lori (Ohio) RNY 2/21/05 242 / 224 / ?

Hey Deb B. I've heard of this before and it seems odd tha****er would make you hurt but it does happen. A friend of mine had this problem but hers didn't appear until about a month in. She had to just wait it out and let it heal on it's own. Good luck and be strong Temeka
