Help! What’s wrong with my stomach?

[Inbedbynine]

Excuse the Tmi. A week ago I started to have diarrhoea 4/5 times a day and was feeling sick with stomach pains but never was sick. This stopped after 3 days but I continued to have pain, nausea and no appetite. Yesterday I felt better and as a walk and felt ill but the best I had for a week. Went to bed last night with my stomach feeling ‘full’ and constantly gurgling a growling despite having emptied my bowels that day. Sat on the toilet and couldn’t go. Woke up this morning with the same feeling. The pains are back, I feel sick. Have emptied my bowels normally. I have no appetite and can’t stomach much food, has to be plain. I don’t know why Iv gone back to feeling bad today and don’t know what to do about it. What can I take? I don’t have Diarrhea and I don’t have constipation so what can I take??

SUggest doctors, could be infection

Won’t they just tell me to let it take its course? When my stomach is rumbling, as it would when I would normally be hungry it hurts rather than a rumble if you see what I mean?

I had this all last week, yesterday was the first day I felt normal, exactly the symptoms you describe.
I am feeling a little anxious at the moment and was thinking it was related, I could have written your post! Hope u feel better soon

Really? That does actually make me feel better. It’s so wierd? Not a sick bug ..... I don’t understand why yesterday I felt better and today gone downhill again. On the 5 minute walk to school by the time I was back my stomach really hurt. Right now sat on the sofa with a hot water bottle it’s manageable but feel crap, I feel full and sore!

Is it food poisoning? I was like this after I had eaten some undercooked chicken I was like it for weeks before it settled down. Just when I thought it was getting better it would start again. Hope you feel better soon

I don’t think so as Iv eaten the same as the dc and it’s all food cooked at home? I haven’t been sick at all. Just drinking a glass of water makes me feel really uncomfortable, sick and sore. It’s weird.

Think it may be viral, taking me so long to get going at the moment, here on MN now as my house looks like a tornado has swept through it lol!

I have plodded along all week as have dc to look after. Today I just can’t be arsed and haven’t got off the sofa with my hot water bottle!

My stomach has been weird for about a week but I do struggle with iBS so I wasn’t sure if it was that or a strange bug:

Stomach cramps like I was going to have terrible diarrhoea but although I’ve had to go to the toilet a lot and it’s been loose it hasn’t been full on diarrhoea, not much appetite - feel hungry but when I eat I feel nauseous and then the cramps starts again, tired and just want to get into bed all the time.

It’s eased over the last couple of days and isn’t so bad now. I’m leaning towards a strange bug.
