Upset stomach after Pfizer?

15 replies

Has anyone had upset stomach after Pfizer? I had my first couple months ago and my stomach was not right for a few weeks after. Settled then I had my second a week and a half ago and it's been dodgy again. Like ibs type, cramps then needing the loo, although not diarrhoea, just needing to go more often. I don't feel unwell though. Did a search and cant see anyone else posting about it, I suppose could be unrelated!

Yes me. I had this a few days after second jab. I had zero issues with first, not even a sore arm, but the second gave me awful Ibs cramps. I didn’t have any other symptoms just a dodgy messed up tummy. Took a little over a week to settle. My sister had the same as me.

Not just me then! Looks like not many people have had this problem though?

My son had diarrhoea after his first Pfizer jab.
He's 18.

I had similar last week after my 2nd AZ jab!

I was the same roughly 48 hrs after my 2nd Pfizer jab. Horrendous abdominal cramps all night long, nausea and feeling rubbish.

I had this; the first one my stomach was a bit off for a day then the second one it was a few days

Thanks for the replies, I'm glad it's not just me. I do suffer from a sensitive stomach at times I always have so maybe the vaccine immune response has just set it off. Annoying more than anything!

I had really bad cramps through the night, thought it was odd, but thought it must have been something I ate. Interesting that I wasn't the only one, thanks!

Yes :(
I could have written your post . Hopefully it settles again.

It’s a week after my second Pfizer and my stomach only just feels like it’s starting to calm down. The first day I was fine (apart from sore arm), the second day I had a splitting headache and general aches and pains, the third day I felt better but tummy was a bit sensitive and I realised I hadn’t been for a number two since the jab (usually go every day). Was able to go at day 4, but tummy is still sensitive to touch and I’ve had a few occurrences of severe cramps followed by needing to run to the toilet.

This is me also. I just too immodium and my arm is still dead ish. The cramps are uncomfortable.

Thesearmsofmine · 20/07/2021 09:21

Interesting. I had mine on Friday and have had the same thing for the last couple of days, hoping it settles soon.

Had my second pfiezer yesterday and my tummy’s been dodgy . Nausea coming and going in waves

Emmmie · 21/07/2021 05:37

Yes, my husband had cramps after the first dose. My daughter vomited 9 times after her second shot and also had a horrendous headache. She was fine the next day.

custardcream1000 · 21/07/2021 11:15

I had my 2nd pfiezer jab on Friday morning, by the evening I was vomiting and had a pounding headache. I've not vomited since the first day, but I've still got an upset stomach.

Sorry that others are suffering too.
