Just Wondering..

Why is it that I am having tons of stomach issues lately. I have been getting a lot of stomach bugs lately which I never did before also why is it that at some times I can eat certain foods and at other times that same foods make my stomach heave and I feel like I get the foamies and am having a heart attack. Just wondering if it's just me or is anybody else having the same issues. Just making sure that the further out I am if these issues will get better or this will never stop. I know I am feeling sorry for myself but I feel like this is something I struggle with every single day. Sorry to keep rambling.

Shilpa -

It may not necessarily be WHAT you are eating - but HOW you are eating.  I know if I eat too fast or not chew enough or put too much time in between meals / snacks - I dont feel so well  - alot like you are describing.

Just a thought.

The food issue happens to me - but not like on a daily basis or anything.  When it does happen I call it "prissy pouch" cause like  a little priss she will tolerate one food one day and then decide the next day she doesn't like it.

Most of the time, I have narrowed it down to me eating to fast or to frequently - but there are days when I "play by the rules" and it still happens.

As far as the stomach but thing I can tell you that this year has been a banner year for nasty nasty flu like bugs (stomach in nature) which many people can't get away from.  You are not the only one.  Most of the patients I have treated have had this or some form of it.

Feel better.  If it continues...you may want to get everything looked at just in case.

Shilpa - It has been a hard year on pouchies!! Stomach bugs bound!

I find if I eat yogurt with active cultures I feel much better! It helps to put the beneficial bacteria back in your intestines after a run with diarreah or antibiotics!

Hope you feel better soon! If you don't talk to the Dr for sure.
