Last September I was hit with the dreaded vomiting bug. A week later I was rushed to hospital and it was found I had gastritis (inflamed stomach) from the vomiting. Dr gave me some tablets and told me to take nurofen for the back pain it caused (I only took it once a day) It got somewhat more bearable but still hadn’t gone after 2 weeks so I went to the gp, she told me that taking the nurofen was irritating my stomach which in turn was causing the back pain 😩 so I had to stick to Paracetamol which really do absolutley nothing me, she told me I couldn’t eat spicy food, hot drinks and fizzy drinks, no issues apart from the spicy food as I live for spicy food. Finally got back to normal beginning of November. Ever since I’ve had stomach issues, constipation, bloating, cramps etc. Not caused by any particular food just randomly happens. It doesn’t help that I also have congenital hypothyroidism which comes with its own array of side effects and issues. I’ve learned to live with those but now these on top is starting to get me down. I still go to work, raise the kids, housework etc despite the lack of energy thyroid issues cause and now this on top it’s getting harder to manage. I think it might be ibs. Anyone else been in this situation or any drs or nurses that can give some input 😕
