Do you swallow? If so, food poisoning.

Rama · « **Reply #2 on:** May 04, 2010, 03:00:19 PM »

I picked food poisoning.

Fiero · « **Reply #3 on:** May 04, 2010, 05:19:11 PM »

The dog.

B E C K · « **Reply #4 on:** May 04, 2010, 06:02:52 PM »

I thought it was the dog, too but I think it's actually some wonky sort of food poisoning. I was perfectly fine, on my laptop on Sunday reading about how Alielle in El-Hazard is a total lesbo and I just got so much pain I couldn't sit. I had to stand up and walk around. I won't detail the further adventures of that day because they're of the gastrointestinal sort. The next day I felt better but not by that much. I was able to hold in my bowl of cereal. That did not happen today. I did eat a taco salad just now and feel okay, so maybe it's finally going away... whatever it was. Fuck you, Marmaduke.

Speaking of which, I found this. And I didn't even google "Fuck you, Marmaduke":

It could be the weather/ high pollen counts. My Dad, brother, and Kary all are feeling like shit.

B E C K · « **Reply #6 on:** May 04, 2010, 08:26:53 PM »

But does it give them the shits? Because all in all, I feel fine except that my stomach's fucked up and I've been getting minor headaches. But yeah, it's mostly mah poor tummy.

Rama · « **Reply #7 on:** May 05, 2010, 12:22:49 AM »

It could. But if you haven't noticed a lot of drainage, then I doubt it's that. I was having some stomach troubles over the weekend, but that was due to some bad Chinese food I got into on Friday. You eat anything that didn't settle well?

Give me all your symptoms. I'm a hypochondriac so I always think I have all the diseases in the world, so I research them for hours. I'm a walking human webMD

B E C K · « **Reply #9 on:** May 05, 2010, 08:10:35 PM »

Okay, Dr. Faye. Here's more than you wanted to know:

My stomach's been very delicate lately, sometimes it feels like its made out of bits of paper and tape. If I eat the "wrong" thing, even a little of it, I feel sick. (There seems to be constant debate on what the right and wrong things are, however. On Monday I couldn't eat cheese but yesterday I had a little and today I could.) I feel a mix of queasy and bloating. Sometime it's foul gas out of one end, right now it feels like there's a knot in my throat and I can't breathe right. Most meals, even ones I hold down, require me to be very still and do nothing while my stomach settles itself. If I sit down too hard, it can be very uncomfortable. I thought I felt okay today but realized I was walking "too hard" (I know, wtf) and my stomach didn't like that. Stools are kinda loose, like rats went up my butt and nibbled on them and I somehow didn't notice. It almost feels like fluid is coming out of my colon, like it's trying to retreat from my body, but ultimately nothing comes out. It's just feels that way. (Now I'm wondering if water isn't being absorbed right.) A couple of times, I thought I could taste bile but I didn't hurl. Every once in a while, I get a little pain. (Sunday was really horrendous but that only happened once.) I also feel tired, but I don't know if that's less a symptom of whatever I've got and more an effect of it.

Sounds a lot like acid reflux with a mix of irritable bowel syndrome. Had that during the last 2 months of my pregnancy and I couldnt lay down after eating cause then I'd feel like the food was coming up but it was like "acid". Completely uncomfortable
If it is in fact acid reflux you can drink milk, take Tums, eat a salad after eating something, among other things.
If it is irritable bowel syndrome, its a little more complicated since you have to stop eating what your body "doesnt like" (probably dairy...maybe you just became allergic to it?). Check these two illnesses online and tell me what you think

I would like to note that, while I chose "Fucking virus that will kill us all." as an answer to the poll, by "us all" I meant "you all".

I'll be fine because I am amazing.

She may be right here. I thought Acid reflux when was reading that as well. Specifically the mention of the "knot in my throat". The gas and loose bowels can also be symptoms of that as well. And laying down always seems to makes it worse.

B E C K · « **Reply #17 on:** May 06, 2010, 10:14:47 PM »

It's weird because my body has always selectively liked dairy. Every once in a while it's just noxious.

I did the "eat a salad after eating something" thing the other day and the greens did agree with me. Kept everything calm down there.

I'll look those things up in detail in the weekend when I got mo' time.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #18 on:** May 07, 2010, 04:40:18 AM »

DONT WAIT TILL THEN, YOU CAN DIE TODAY
nah im jk.
But there are a lot of cases in which adults suddenly become lactose intolerant, like from one day to the other. And it doesnt have to be severe, it can be very mild

Fiero · « **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2010, 04:25:02 PM »

Stop eating dairy.

Problem solved. =D

Seriously, only infants should have milk.

Derrick · « **Reply #20 on:** May 07, 2010, 06:52:08 PM »

You obviously don't live close to a dairy farm. Nothing beats farm fresh milk and the baked goods said farmers bake with it.

Fiero · « **Reply #21 on:** May 07, 2010, 07:01:12 PM »

I do not need dairy to enjoy great food.

Theres no fucking way I could ever live without dairy. You know how many yummy things contain lactose??? A couple of weeks ago my baby got a rash all over her face and a friend told me that it was probably a milk allergy so I was practically forced to stop eating dairy for a couple of days until I went to the doc. But when I went there she told me it was just a baby rash, no allergy. It was SOOO difficult to stay away from delicious ice cream, cheese, milk, butter, everything.

Nah. No need. I have plenty of delicious foods to eat in its stead.

Admittedly, those Tofutti Cuties are good. I also had these coconut ice cream sandwiches that were good and said they were lactose-free.
