first stomach ache

I am having an awful stomach ache....the kind where you don't want to put anything in.....I feel like I've been punched pretty hard.

I know that I need to at least drink, but I don't know if it will stay down. I am going to start with just hot tea and hope it goes away.

I need my coffee, but will have to wait on that.  I am hoping it passes.  I would take Tums, but I know they won't realy work since they neutralize stomach acid....which we don't really have......

This sucks.  I just want to vomit, I think I would feel better.

Have you eaten an unusual amount of artificially sweetened something?  I get a horrible tummy ache (feels like a knife - and is accompanied by an impressive amount of gas afterward) if I eat too much of anything with artificial sweeteners (particularly maltitol).  It should be a good control mechanism for me, since I don't dump.  Sigh.

If you haven't and if the feeling persists for more than a couple of hours or gets dramatically worse, or is accompanied by fever or chills, call Dr. P. 

Drinking water should help if it's maltitol or something similar because it will flu**** through a bit faster. 

Hope this helps!

Lots of fluids, warm peppermint tea (helps LOTS!!!). Did you eat something you shouldn't have or just feeling crummy?

Feel better soon!

i haven't had anything to eat, and the last thing I ate (I know it was too late in the day to be eating) but was a low fat cheese stick....

I woke up and felt fine, and just got to my office and felt terrible.

I went to the potty but nothing relieved. 

My warm tea made me feel a little better. Want to hit my protein bar but I am gonna wait on that.

A day or two of not eating won't be the end of everything.

Concentrate on fluids and fluids only until it completely passes.  Could be a virus.

And...if it gets worse call the primary and/or dr. p
