Ok well we're here to keep you company!

[Kitalpha Hart]

My iPad is dead, my phone finally on a charger, and they found nothing
They did recommend seeing a stomach doctor tho
And my diet is currently down to broth and water
Joy

[galled]

That happens a lot it seems--they don't know what anyone has! Stomach doctor seems logical. Might look into bulimic symptoms and treatments to see if you think it applies/offers some course of solutions. I hope they can schedule in to see someone soon. You'll can't go too long on broth and water. Are you still throwing up or can you keep that down?

[Lemon Cheesecake]

oh no! What a nightmare day. On the good side...it's nothing obvious...a specialist is probably a good idea. It could be as simple as food poisoning or something like a balanced diet so let's not think the worst,yet.

Our UPS driver just had food poisoning for several weeks from the CLiFF BAR recall for listeria. He ate a whole bunch of them that week before they announced the recall. Poor guy.

Around noon I can switch from just liquids to the BRAT diet
Aka all things bland
And if I take my new anti-nausea meds (zofran, under the tongue that dissolves. Worked nicely while I was on chemo), not even liquids until an hour and a half later
If i keep those down, then back to bland city
So we'll see
And hey, the soup I had about half an hour ago is a lot more than I had than yesterday
That was a couple of sips of lukewarm tea (and of a crap brand too), some water, and four crackers
Prolly around three I'll suck down a boost, since those are allowed (and recommended. Well, those drinks that add nutrients and stuff in general, we just get boost cuz it's the one I preferred during chemo)

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Your digestive tract sounds like it is inflamed so sticking to a bland diet sounds like a safe choice. Don't rush it though!

well, at least we are a distraction for you.

[galled]

Hey great to hear you're moving in the right direction! One step at a time and you'll get there.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Maybe? Idk
Either way my hips aren't sunken in and i don't feel like death anymore
Still, might as well find out what it was

[Kitalpha Hart]

Guy we saw today was pretty sure that it's irritable bowel syndrome
Which means a special powder (over the counter stuff) mixed in with a cup of water twice a day to help me poop
And more regular meals
And regular exercise
And a "normal" sleep schedule

And right now what's stuck can't decide if it wants to go up or down
And I'm sleeping a lot
Blegh

[Watery Star]

*hug* Been a rough week for you.:/
Have been able to eat the bland food?
IBS sucks. It would be a shame if it's that and not something temporary. But if it is then at least someone has found it now.

[galled]

Well, that's really great news! You have a plan of action and you'll be well on your way to recovery!

[Watery Star]

If its IBS then it's a condition that will have to be continually monitored for the long-term.

[Kitalpha Hart]

I really really really hope it's a short term variant of IBS but it's not looking promising at the moment

Right now, I can eat, I'll prolly puke it up way later tho...as stomach acid
Or just dry heaving

Showers feel good, tho I do wish the tub was a bit longer

[Watery Star]

Hope you can keep down your food. Can't really eat solids if it comes back up. Your poor throat. :/

[Kitalpha Hart]

So far no problems, at least nothing super bad
