Holiday 2nd day

[ivesy]

So it's the second day of my holiday. Struggling a bit to be honest. Spent the morning beside the pool, didn't feel great. Now I'm back in the room feeling sick. Is this all in my head? My wife and friends are going to the on site waterpark now and I'm stuck in the room. I hate this illness so much!

Hi we all understand how you are feeling, hope you feel better later and can enjoy most of your hol x PS it is not all in your head x

I've just had 4 nights away in a lovely hotel on the seafront and by the 4th evening, I was feeling really ill with the runs. I just can't do 4 nights in a nice hotel with dinners. Struggled back home yesterday and was so thankful to get back! It's not fair as holidays are supposed to make one feel better, did the exact opposite; oh dear! It is definitely not in your head. It's just I think that most people have much stronger constitutions and our bodies won't allow us to "keep up". Being stuck in hotel room feeling unwell on holiday is no fun. Hope the 'flair/episode' will pass for the remainder of your hol.

Motilium is great for nausea....long as you are not on meds for heart problens

I've run out of motilium frustratingly. Do they still sell it over the counter? I'm feeling a little better now. Don't think I was eating enough so didn't have there energy and was feeling nauseous. Planning a day out tomorrow so really hoping I feel ok. Thanks for your replies. Really helps.

It is otc in Ireland. I take it you are on hols in Europe.

Yeah I'm in Rhodes at the moment. I've got a load of Imodium for worst case but it's all the nausea that's doing me in!

[calista in reply to ivesy]

Lovely.

I was there in 1967...happy out no tummy issues!

I hope you get mottilium...I find it the best....or Brandy !

So sorry to hear about your difficulties while on holiday.

To be honest, "planning a day out tomorrow" is enough to stress me into a very bad spell. I've learned to hate plans of any kind, based on the "disorders" with which I live, (gastroparesis and IBS).

I wish you a wonderful day tomorrow!

Buy yourself some ginger chews if you can find them. Ginger will help control nausea. More readily available, perhaps, are Ricola lozenges. They contain real peppermint and are very soothing. I'm never without both.

JAJJV, I know what you mean about plans.I feel the same. They hang over you like a heavy weight. One day at a time is best for me. Re holidays, I find the end quite stressful as i know i have to travel home and it could be a bad ibs day.

[missymo]

No its not in your head!! All of us on this site know exactly what your going through!! Ive lost 3 holidays this year!! Felt to miserable & royten to go anywhere.god bless!!

[Montykat]

Im ao happy to hear its not just me that hates to make plans. Obviosly not happy that we are all having to suffer this. But im sure my hubby thinks i just make it up sometimes to get out of doing things but i really dont. Making plans stresses me out so much it amkes me ill. And yet its the thought of being ill while im out that makes me not want to go out in the first place. I hate ibs. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Lol x

[ivesy in reply to Montykat]

I feel the same way monty. My wife doesn't blame me but I always feel so guilty for cancelling plans. I made a big effort and went out for the day. Felt fairly terrible all day but made it back to the hotel now! The only thing is I've barely been able to eat anything all day so have literally no energy! Probably one of the only people that loses weight while on holiday lol! Chill day tomorrow so hoping that I feel a little better!

[Sweepy13]

I know just what everyone means!.... In my early days I was awful I'd have IBS for weeks before and always ruin one or more days away..... Then I had a few really good years where I was in control.... Still had flare ups but manageable

But this last year or so I'm back where I was and as I think some of us do I started to panick that it's not just IBS

Came home early last week from a few days away had a meltdown with it!!! Doctor did all my bloods .. All normal thank the Lord so now I'm try to look at what I eat again ! Might try FODmap but need to research it first

All the best to all fellow sufferers X

[Eternity78]

i can totally relate to every pain and agony that all sufferers here on this site talk about ...but really how or what should i answer some one who asks me ignorantly (why your doctor doesn't give you a good treatment if you are suffering like this ?? may be you should change your doctor !! ) this frustrating question alone can trigger a bad ibs episode ..huh..there is no Exit way out of it 😣😭😤
