I’m 5 months po. I battled initially but am now taking digestive enzymes and probiotics and have had few problems in the last month. Sometimes I slip up and eat the wrong thing and then, usually the following day, I get diarrhoea, nausea, bloating and some pain from the trapped gas.
My question is this: when I get a reaction I also feel unwell, as though I’m coming down with flu, aching muscles and joints and muggy head. Once my digestion settles down, which can be anything from one to three days, the flu feeling also disappears. Does anyone else get this reaction and if so do you know why this happens? It’s almost like having stomach flu or a tummy bug.
It does’t feel like a tummy bug to me, I just have pain under my right ribcage and it shoots directly through my body into the shoulder blade area.
I will howerer say, that once i have the pain, it will go away after about six hours, but it seems to be triggered easily within the next few days and then I’ll go a month or so without it.
