Denial is a great place to be until it winds you up in the back of an ambulance with a hot belly full of infection or ruptured organ. Let's stop asking US what your issue is and go see a medical professional? Really. It's unfair to us to put YOUR life in our hands and expect something good to come out of it.
dun yell at me right now, i'm cranky and like in no mood. If you read the post above, it says i WENT to the hospital today
So what if the food i'm eating isnt the BEST - atleast i'm fucking eating. Been eating alot lately. i had two cuban subs yesterday. today, i started jam packing myself with vitamins. vitamins, soy milk, v8 juice, boost, water with minerals and vitamins.. ummm and some crackers, ham, and cheese cos i think i'm gonna puke soon.
i'm trrrrrrrrrrrrrrying. give me points for effort!
You're trying, but you're not doing it sensibly. No wonder your body is acting out in every direction! I'd be puking too with a screwed up stomach having dumped 101 things into it, most of which your GI tract is likely to react adversely to.
Let's try this (assuming that you left the doctor/ER before they could give you these proper instructions) --
Guidelines:
-- Eat what you uch as possible in several small portions. Eating frequent and several smaller size meals may be more comfortable and easier on the stomach than two or three large meals a day.
-- Eat nutritious meals every day with a combination of all food groups like Starch [bread & rice], proteins [meats and beans], fruits, vegetables, Milk products (unless you're lactose intolerant.) -- Citrus fruits and juices should be taken only during or after meals and not in an empty stomach. Avoid more than moderate amount [1 or 2 cups a day] of decaffeinated coffee and caffeine free tea and colas. No regular coffee, tea, cocoa, chocolate, cola or alcoholic drinks.
-- Avoid pepper, chili and other spices.
BLAND foods -- avoid oils, spices, acids (tomatoes), things with seeds and hard to digest foods.
UNCARBONATED BEVS -- shoot for water, flat gingerale or coke (coke syrup from an old druggist is good for nausea as well), nothing acidic like orange juice or V8!
I'd steer clear of introducing NEW things to your system when it's already screwed up. Vitamins are tough on your stomach, and if it is something like a peptic ulcer, further challenging your gut is not what you want to force upon it. Complex things to digest are also not really helpful to your already taxed system.
Edit: I am just curious as to whether you're someone who eats alot of aspirin or NSAIDS (motrin, advil, naprosyn).
