Feeling hopeless...

[Ruralquirks]

So I arrived at my boyfriends a couple of hours ago, went to the loo, and became very ill very quickly. Bad stomach pain, stomach cramps, loose motions, alot. I started feeling very hot and anxious. I've taken Imodium to calm it down but I feel so so hopeless. I was just crying for an hour because I don't know what to do..

I woke up this morning with sharp stabbing pains in my low left side which I could barely move from, this has happened a couple of times in the past, but not for a while now..

I'm starting to go gluten free as I have cut out lactose in the past for a good 8-10 weeks and that didn't help 😣

Oh gosh sound like you're suffering as much as I am! Maybe a food intolerance for you with the left sided pain? That's what I have at the mo too! Xx hoping the immodium settles things for you. I have my nephew here at the moment as soon as he's gone I'm going upstairs for a damn good cry! Xx

I think it could be a food intolerance, wheat seems to be a problem for ibs people and high lactose x

Please look into the low fodmap diet with dietician guidance. Monash University have an app which tell you safe foods, its an elimination diet, will show you your triggers its life changing for 70% of ibs D cases x

Have you spoken to your gp? I had something similar a couple of times where the pain was unbearable and went to a&e i had a stomache infection, had iv fluids, paracetamol and antibiotics and that seemed to help. Hope you feel better.

I have a telephone appointment with my GP tomorrow. I'm going to write down what I want to discuss with her and hopefully that will help..

I know exactly what you mean! There’s so many different things that could be affecting your stomach, but it’s so hard to find what it really is. I think mine is just sugar along with some other artificial sugars. I’ve continued to have some gluten, but I also get some gluten free things just to try and make sure I’m not having too much. I had ham, cheese, and potato casserole last night and I woke up in a lot of pain this morning and have been on and off the toilet, so I think I might have to cut Dairy out too :// I understand your pain tho, it absolutely sucks not really knowing what you can eat on any given day.
