honestly. i don't care anymore. i should, but i don't. i'm the only one in pain and the way other people act its like oh, lexia's in pain again, so?

[Mytical]

*hugs* I am sorry you are going through this. I would text you, but my phone is lent out right now..*hugs again* they just let me know about a text you sent me.

[Midnight12]

its turning into something more personal. but it began with eating something I did not realize was loaded with something acidic

[Midnight12]

mmm

k. too much acidic stuff not help either, yesterday i had plain spaghetti. added some marinara sauce for sauce effect....hour later it come back up...same results as last time. only if there was blood i couldn't tell due to the sauce.

right now i am in an i don't care mood because....well i don't. last two nights have been traumatic nightmares and feeling like i have been abandoned...its just....easier to be numb

If it's gallbladder, and you have an attack, you will feel like you have a knife in your upper middle or right stomach. Pain can radiate to the back and possibly right shoulder. Nausea is another possible symptom. My dad used to work swing shift. He'd eat greasy dinner, come home, and throw up at 2:00 am. I know 'cause it woke me up. He had emergency surgery and almost died on the table because he never recognized the symptoms. But if you catch it you can control with diet and have the doctor monitor the condition. I've had some attacks, but never actual vomiting nor blood.

Ramen noodles are actually fried before they are dried and packaged, just fyi.

The best diet to follow for tummy trouble is the BRAT diet--Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast (plain, dry, maybe w/ a small amount of honey). Jello, gingerale, and sprite/7-up/sierra mist, popcicles and italian ice are okay to eat, too. I find that instant mashed potatoes made w/ just hot water and salt (no milk or butter/margarine) are ok on the tummy, too. Doesn't taste as bad as you'd think, either. Cream of wheat hot cereal also made w/o milk is good, too.

If it is your gallbladder, fatty or greasy foods will probably upset your stomach, as well.

been keeping an eye on it. will start a food journal from the day it happen to the best of my memory to current as if anything happens from one end or the other will at least have some clue.

thank you for the well wishes.

there was no actual pain during or after but if i eat anything that has the slightest bit of spice - spicey - or pepper to it, it comes back.

A little late to the party and glad to hear you're ok. However, the above quote makes me think gallbladder problems. Definitely keep an eye on any further symptoms. Start a food journal if you start feeling yucky again so you and your doc can spot any patterns.

Hopefully you won't have to, though.

It's better to know it was nothing serious. Trust me

[MyNameIsn'tSweetie]

Glad you're at least okay..still sending you good thoughts.

[Midnight12]

managed to get in this morning. all will say is that i am ok. no more mouth wash, continue to lay off the spices and watch it. so...ramen, noodles (pasta) and bread ad lay off spices for a while. i can have sandwhich sliced meat maybe for protein.

for now just...yeah. feel dumb, but was more scared than anything

also the stress from the past few weeks did not help

[Greenday]

Yea, I tend to look at it in two ways.

1. It's no big deal and you wasted money. Sucks.

2. It's a huge deal and you do nothing...well, yea.

#2 is kinda worse.

My bf ignored a nasty pain in his side, and his parents got him to the ER just in time to operate before his appendix would have exploded.
