Need support

[Sounds]

I need some support for gastro symptoms that have lasted for almost a month. I am waiting on another stool sample test result. I have a phobia of vomiting so this has been grueling. I am so tired of feeling like this. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm getting very desperate at this point as I have tried a lot that hasn't helped yet.

You fail to say what issues your having ? You said your for another stool sample. Why didn’t the first sample tell them what they were looking for ? What are your symptoms that brought you to the Dr ? Do you believe your stomach issues are anxiety related ? Are you seeing a therapist for your anxiety? Are your taking any medication to control your anxiety ? I ask all these questions because you may come to the answer to why your having stomach problems if there anxiety related. I have had a lot of stomach issues like Diverticulitis. In fact I’m having another flair up as of today.

I had what I thought was a gastro bug starting on Dec 21 but after nausea and diarhea for 8 days I went to the doctor. He requested a stool sample and it said that there were white blood cells and some kind of crystals in there so I had to do two more samples and I am waiting on those results. I have changed my diet- no coffee, alcohol, dairy, wheat or sugar. I'm taking supplements but I still feel nauseous almost all the time and have diarrhea some times. I am sick of it and just want it to go away. I have a huge phobia of throwing up so I am having a really hard time

I had major stomach and intestinal problems. Gerd, acid reflux, divorticulosis, constipation. My stomach would hurt when I drank water. That was last summer. Since, Ive been taking 50 billion live cultures in an SBO probiotic a day, a T apple cider vinegar in a glass of water (w/the mother) daily, organic chia seeds 2T in 5oz unsweetened almond/coconut milk warmed a minute in microwave then add seeds with a Packet of stevia, a couple times a week, and bentonite clay, a 1/2 t in 5 oz water a couple times a week. I also drink kefir and komb. Its taken me 4 months to get my stomach healthy again but it worked. Good luck 🍀

Ok. Thank you for that advice. 4 months sounds like a long time! I'm glad that you are feeling better though

Yes it does but when you have a bad stomach, intestines and gut it can take a long time to repair it back to normal. Its not a quick fix. You just have to be persistant in healing it. Good luck!

Sounds kind of like what I'm dealing with. Have you been to the Dr?
