Something is making your bowel muscles go into spasms. It could be food poisoning, a bug, gastritis. or any number of bowel conditions, like IBS. When I had gastritis it took 3 months to settle, and when I had Diverticulitis, it was over a month. Your doctor will soon set your mind at rest.
Since this is Sunday, you don't have long to wait for your doctor's appointment. Try to stay as calm as possible so as not to irritate your stomach further. Only your doctor can tell you exactly what is wrong. It could be any number of things including gastritis or IBS which are both triggered by anxiety.
im feeling better today thank you... my appt is tomrw so im more calm...
i ate some spicy wings and im thinking naybe thts what triggered it... because it had been two weeks ... my appt is tomrw but thank you... im hoping its an easy fix but when you have health anxiety is easy to think the worst
I had similar symptoms to you and I had gastritis, a hiatus hernia and oesophagitis. It was helped by ppi tablets but the only ones that really worked were esomeprazole though. There are certain foods and drinks which can upset your stomach more than others. Try and avoid acidic foods and drinks like citrus fruits and juices, carbonated drinks, caffeine, sugar and pickles. Also alcohol and fatty foods can be a problem. Anything you can think that repeats on you, try and avoid it until your stomach is better. Then just limit it because it can make your symptoms come back.
That's good; hopefully you can get answers.
im here at the dr waiting to see her so hopefully i will find out soon... thank you im hoping its a simple fix cause its been stressful and tiring
