Something is wrong with me (a bit TMI)

[Trillian]

How are you and the kids feeling this morning? This year seems to have produced some really funky illnesses that don't manifest like they are *supposed* to so its likely that its a plain old tummy bug thats just giving you the run around. I know when I've been sick with a bug that whatever I last ate will repeat on me for ages so maybe its the same for you with the egg?

[Mak]

Nasty tummy bugs here too - hope you are feeling better. xx

Well I'm at work this morning - had more toast this morning which seems to be good. Googled eggy burps and giardia came up as a possibility, eek!

If I'm feeling better should I still go to the dr?? Still burping egg...

[Lisa]

I found that I burped egg whenever I drank anything. I just had loads of small sips of water until it all went away. Hope you're feeling better real soon.

Blegh - you poor thing! I would go to the Dr just to be sure. It sounds hideous

Yes, that's what's happening!!! Thanks Lisa.

DF and i had a nasty tummy bug earlier in the yr and we were doing egg burps! even though we'd eaten no eggs.
hope you feel better soon hun

[Miss.September]

[peanutter]

Very gassy this evening. Still egg flavoured, blurregh. Managed brekkie, no lunch, little dinner. Praying I've turned a corner.... But thinking maybe not yet...

[Gigi]

did you manage to get to the GP Ocean Princess?

gastro is so debilitating, i hope you get some relief soon. i wonder if the eggy burps are SULPHUR coming from your system, not eggs as such.

get well soon hon.

[peanutter]

and please get checked out for giadia ... it's nasty!

[OceanPrincess]

Haven't been to the GP yet. I keep feeling fine against not worrying about it... Felt awful this morning but seem ok now. It's really weird..

OP I had a tummy infection years ago where I'd be okay for a couple of days then I'd end up with the runs again, then okay, then not, ITMS. I needed to go on ABs to get rid of it, as in the end I dropped 8 kgs over three weeks.

It had similar indications to other infections, I ended up with almost green diarrhoea in the end. But just the fact that I couldn't seem to get rid of it was enough. It was quite bad at a couple of points though.

[Lisa]

I couldn't go on the anti biotics as they're not safe whilst breast feeding. It took me about 6 weeks to be finally done with it. I haven't had any problems for 5 weeks now - thankfully. It did come and go a few times during that 6 weeks. Sometimes it was just the diahrrea other times there was vomiting, but always the gassy, egg burps.
I hope it's over for you soon hun xx

[OceanPrincess]

Lisa that's one of the reasons I haven't raced to the dr... I'm still feeding too and reckon they'd be limited in what they could do.

But six weeks of this? Gah. Couldn't do it.

[wysiwyg]

It depends on the antibiotics - plenty are ok while feeding - I had to take ABs to get rid of a stomach bug had in UK when DD was 5 months - I wasn't keen but then having a sick mum wasn't doing her much good either so as were in the ok category I took them - and cleared it up nice and quick.

[Jennifer13]

Try Rodney Whyte at Monash - I think it's unlikely that the ABs are not okay while bfing. His no is in the bfing section.
