Hi hun

I'm sorry to hear that you are suffering with Stomach issues. I also suffer with problems digesting food, I get crampy, feel nauseated and it generally makes me feel like crap.

I read this article last night, I thought you may like to read it.

Is your STOMACH the main reason you're so stressed? dailymail.co.uk/health/arti... @MailOnline

Hope this helps

Aw hun.

I think being stresses causes a multitude of problems but we don't always realise that they are connect.

I have had to give up work after being off for a year due to endo and Adenomyosis and this bowel rubbish causing me no end of trouble and causing so much pain.

I'm constantly exhausted all the time sometimes I feel even walking up the stairs hard!

I hope that this improves for you soon hun xx

aww bless you and sorry to hear that you have all those and i have endo and IBS and still working wishing i wasnt though...

i expect you feel exhausted all the time all that things you have..

sometimes i rather be at work than being at home to keep me occupied and forget things but sometimes it doesnt work... but hey never mind...

i need a break from work as the last holiday i had was February for a week...

i am hoping to feel better as i have anxiety which making feel so mad and my blood boils.. right now i am awfully tired as got up at 5.15 am this morning... like to go to sleep now hehe...

anyway hope you feel better soon xxx

Yes it is really tiring, all I want to do is sleep lol, but that doesn't happen as I have 3 kids I have to look after, though on bad days I will nap when they are at school.

Yes i know what you mean I try and keep myself as bust as possible in the house during the day in the hope that I will sleep better at night.

Yes sounds like you could do with a rest hun. Was that pain that woke you up that early in the morning xx

gosh 3 kids eh?? aww adorable and how old are they? sorry for asking... i have no kids... well i certainly dont blame you for having a nap when they are at school...

yes i agree with you to keep busy in the day and sleep well in the night which i do... sleep long hours mostly at weekends...

i got up early that what time i get up for work and i thought might as well get up early this morning as went to bed after 9 ish last night... i only have pain in the mornings when i get up if i am stressed, have anxiety or depressed then my abdominal pains in a nightmare as i sweat a lot that when i get the pains and feeling hot in the mornings and once it over i got really freezing cold afterwards... then ended up with different pains like joins pains, go really tired (fatigue) or headache or something else once i had an infection after that before and that was awful... it was very weird to have that...

everyone at work keep telling me to rest as i want to be careful with my holiday entitlements.. as booked a week in October and November already as got planned but i am not sure to have it this month or next month or August... or maybe work straight through to October... go maybe go off sick for the week which i love to do... hehe... am i that naughty?? xx

Yes 3 of them lol and they are all close together, 12 , 10 and 9. The eldest 2 are boys and the youngest is my daughter who is 9 going on 19.

I do if I'm really not feeling good I feel like I have to nap.

Oh hun that's early to be up, I'm up at 6 to get my son ready to go off to school he gets taxied as he goes to a specialist school.

Oh that's isn't good I find that stress makes my tummy problems Worse.

I seem to pick up any illness that is going around I think it's because endo makes a immune system weak.

Yeah why not be naughty and some time off sick xx

Probiotics are really meant to help your stomach by adding good bacteria to your stomach, I take them and I do think that my stomach calmed down a bit after I started taking them, it might be worth a try xx

Peppermint oil capsules are good for cramping as is Peppermint tea or cordial. I find if I have a pain flare I quite often get bowel spasms and diarrhea and it often leaves me feeling a bit beaten up for the next day or so just like if i had a tummy bug. I used probiotic drinks for years but stopped when I tried dairy and wheat free when undergoing bowel tests and have not had any noticeable difference so am saving my pennies; I know some people swear by them.

I suspect that my uterus is pressing on my bowel or the bowel adhesions I had removed before are back. I have no trigger I just get "that" pain and know I'm going to be a repeated visitor to the loo. It means wherever we go I always know where the nearest toilets are and I always have tissues with me! Ironic reading this thread as I am recovering from an out of nowhere bout this afternoon but this time with vomiting first just to add to the fun! Good news is I don't need a summer diet!

thank you for your reply and sorry to hear that... peppermint oil i have tried that but it making my stomach upset which it shouldnt...

thanks

No worries. I think that if your digestive system is delicate it is really easily upset. I've heard eggs are good to settle things down but I loathe them in all their forms.

Reply

yeah eggs as i am afraid to use it as i got it bad as i have cooked it well but i thought i give it a try again... tonight hopefully... my digestive is pathetic as i cannot even eat green peas... which i love having...
