WHAT Is Wrong with My Stomach?!?!

Sometime this afternoon, my stomach has been killing me. I'm soooo nauseous :( Every time I move or open my mouth I feel like I'm going to hurl. I never have stomach problems, so I'm being a huge baby about this. I haven't thrown up... yet... but it's taking every ounce of willpower to not puke. I can't eat. I'm crazy super bloated. I'm NOT preggers (I'm on my period, but never felt this way before)... I tried a little ginger ale but uuuugh... I kind of feel like I have to burp but can't. I can't get out of the fetal position on my right side (I'm on a laptop, LOL)... What can I take to make this go awaaaay?! Doesn't my stomach know I'm super mom and I've got things to take care of?! UGH.

What can I do next?

There's a bug going around, that happened to me about 2 weeks ago. Took a night and day out of my life. Go BARF and let the party begin :)

seriously-you should just go throw up. That is the only thing that makes you start to feel better. You need to get it out of your system.

And come to think of it....the only time I was so sick as to be in a fetal position it was with food poisoning.. Could that be it?

I smell mint whenever I think I am going to throw up, it really works for me. Also strange enough, smiling will keep you from throwing up too, its the opposite effect for the gag reflex I heard. Crazy but it works too. I really hope that you feel better and that this passes! Drink some 7 up and feel better!

answers from Chattanooga on

I hate the "I'm gonna puke" feeling more than I hate the actual act. If I feel like I'm going to be sick, and it doesn't pass within a couple minutes, I usually go stick my fingers down my throat (unless I'm really on the verge of puking without having to go so far) and get it over with. 1/2 the time, it just turns out there was something in my stomach upsetting it. If not, then at least I know there isn't much left in there to puke up if I need to again!!!

Lol! Yes, I call myself supermom as well. We are! I hear ginger ale and crackers ease a little stomach pain.

You said you are bloated, could it be possible that you have trapped gas? Some of the time enough can get built up in our bodies to where the symptoms you're having can happen. That is of course if you're not sick with a stomach bug. In the case of trapped gas sometimes taking something like gas-x to relieve the bloating can help with the nausea as well.

There is a bug going on, my husband just came out of it, difference is that he had no problem being a big baby about it, he is not like us "super moms".
The first days he only could have some apple juice, toast and some of the drink to keep you hydratering (sp?)
After 2 days he was able to have some home made chicken soup.
Well, now is so good that he is eating everything in our pantry!
I hope you feel better soon, if this is not the same bug maybe you are just very stress for the wedding, the house, etc.

answers from Erie on

probably not the case at all but i just heard tonight that an aquaintance was hospitalized for severe stomach pains, She had been on 2 different antibiotics and those antibiotics killed all the good bacteria in her colon, She said it was called C-Diff ?? very very sick from it.

I don't remember what side of the body the apendix is located but i'm thinking that would make you sick too.

sure hope you get to feeling better soon.

answers from Charlottesville on

I know this sounds odd, but could it be constipation? There was one day a number of years ago that the pain in my stomach got so bad I couldn't move. I ended up sleeping from about 6pm until the next morning and when I woke up, I felt much better. I went to the doctor that morning, and she told me it was probably just constipation. I couldn't believe it! I've tried to be good and get my fiber regularly since then. However, last week I started feeling bad again and felt like I was going to throw up. I spent a long time in the bathroom that night and after finally eliminating a bunch of stuff from my bowels, I felt much better. (Sorry if TMI!)

To me it sounds like acid stomach. I would suggest trying some tums since they are pretty fast acting. The burping is what makes me think that. I've had it before and that is the exact feeling. Sometimes eating can help but for me Tums is the fastest relief. Also, if this was happing last night...and you were lying down, that is also a good indicator of acid stomach.

Hope it gets better soon.

I would go to your Dr. Could be your appendix. I never got the classic pain on my right side but instead had what your are describing. My stomach just ached all over but mostly very low. I remember sitting in the dr's office trying to keep water down. I never actually threw up either just really felt like I had to. Good luck.

like the others said, go puke! then maybe some tums... let the ginger ale get flat or stir some sugar or salt to release its gas. Saltines when you do eat! hope you feel better!
