I feel like hell!

Okay, not sure if I'm dumping or not. Goodness knows this is lasting forever so I'm thinking I have the flu or food poisoning. Last night I made beef stroganoff for the family. I ate a little of the sauce, about 4 noodles and some of the beef. I felt okay until about 3 hours later and got chills and shaky...not sure about my heart racing. I felt very gassy last night and didn't sleep well. About 5 this morning I had diarrhea and then dry heaves for a good 5-10 minutes. I'm not feverish but damn I'm weak and terrified to eat anything so I'm sipping water and peppermint tea! This was the first time I tried pasta and maybe that did it to me. The rest of my family seems okay so I don't think it was my cooking but I never rule that out! This had better pass soon! Criminy...or I need to just knock myself out till it passes. Lissa

Sure sounds like dumping to me. And pasta or noodles, beef and flour are all on my "to avoid" list, so it could have been one of those for sure. I have heard that some people never go back to beef, but others have no problem.

It could be dumping or it could be tummy flu - especially if it's lasted this long. I know my sister (with normal tummy) just got over the tummy flu so I know it's going around again. Hope you feel better soon!

I think I am getting over the flu too. Since the weekend everything I tried to eat set on my tummy. I wanted to and could not. So I went on clear liquids and dramamine for 2 days per the doctor's office. Today I am back on regular foods with no problems. Make sure you are eating the prescribed amounts and no more. It could be too much for your tummy and that is why it is not going on down.

I got food poisoning from bad mayonnaise on week 3. It was sheer misery. I too had the throwing up and then the dry heaves. Nothing was good on my tummy. I ended up subsisting on saltines and popsicles for a couple of days until it passed. Hope you feel better soon!
