Something is wrong with me (a bit TMI)

Since Thursday I have barely eaten anything. I felt off all day, nauseous and cramps in my stomach, got home from work and promptly threw up. Pains in my tum all night off and on, felt sick all day Friday, no more throwing up but still pains...

Ate very little, thought I was coming good, Sat morning went to a brunch BBQ and managed to eat an egg and bacon roll, then had to drag the fam home as I was feeling nauseous again.

Felt yuk all evening and then started from the other end if you get my drift :redface:

Today I have eaten nothing... But I keep burping egg. Why would the egg from yesterday still be in my system??? Esp considering the runs I've had?!

Something isn't right :(

Can gastro hang around this long?

Please don't mention HPTs. There is no chance of that so please don't say anything along those lines.

*hugs*

sucks that your sick. I dont really have any answers..have you had a temperature? just please take care of yourself and I hope you get well soon. xox

hi

Poor you :cry:
My daughter has just had gastro on and off for almost 5 days, just when we thought it was over, we were off to the loo again.......
My son and i have had it, presumably caught from her, but we have only had 24 hour.
Just affects people different ways I guess.
Hope you are feeling better soon,

Thanks T, no fevers just the horrible tummy.

BF, thanks hun, sorry to hear your DD had something for 5 days!!! Poor love. My two have both had something - DD threw up last night and DS has had diarrhea today :( really hope they are over it by tomorrow...

Hate it when they are sick and you are sick too... Makes it so much harder...

DH recently had an inflammation in the bowel that gave nasty symptoms, bad pains etc. if you are still unwell tomorrow please get checked out.

take care

I have had gastro hang around that long - and I was burping egg even though hadn't eaten egg. I went to doc on day 5 but they didn't really suggest anything apart from to come back if hadn't cleared up by about 8 days - of course it cleared up the next day. What I had did come and go too - would think over it and then would come back.

We all had this at the end of Sept. It went through all of us and then went back through us all again. All up we had it on & off for about a month. You need to make sure everything is OTT clean. We wash our hands with anti bacterial hand wash anyway but we used hand sanitiser constantly. We used bleach in the toilet every night and used way too many cans of Glen 20. Apparently the virus is Giardia.

Thanks guys... Interesting someone else has been burping egg too!

HotI, thanks, I will. Don't think I could work like this anyway...

Lisa thanks for the tip, might need to go invest in some different hand wash and bits and pieces...

It sounds like a nasty bug hun. I hope you feel better soon, lots of hugs xoxox

I know i have gastro when i have that eggy burp :sick:

Hope you feel better soon. Gastro is awful.

You can also get a dettol wash that goes in with your laundry detergent, to help kill things off and sanitise.

DF has recently had a bacteria infection in his digestive system - he was really unwell for a few days before we decided it must be something other than gastro. Especially when it didn't spread to DD or myself.

He was put on two very strong antibiotics to make sure he was covered for whatever it could be and he has only started feeling himself again today - 4 days after starting antibiotics!

I hope it eases up for you. I hate being sick!!!

Sounds like a really nasty tummy bug but I would get checked out tomorrow if you aren't better. Just to be on the safe side.

I know you probably don't feel like it but have you been drinking much water? Even a sports drink might be a good idea just to restore some of your electrolites.

Also, if you have the runs still and it is like water, it might be a good idea to get something like Imodium or to talk to your doctor about it tomorrow. Apparently if it is really severe it can cause a syphon effect in your bowel and you can get really dehydrated really quickly. If you get a splitting headache in the next day or two (or if you already have one), it can be a sign that your body needs fluids. If you can't keep fluids down or in your system, you might need to see a doctor too.

I really hope you are feeling better soon :hug:

Thanks so much everyone... I've just managed to eat some toast... See how that goes...

Ds had the on again off again gastro about 18mts ago... turned out to be Rota Virus as this is the pattern it follows. A day or two of gastro, up to a day of feeling ok, then back to gastro again.

Hope it clears soon for you!

Hope it stays down/in OP.

Stick with really starchy carbs, plain pasta, potato, steamed rice. And reintroduce fluids slowly.

I feel for you hun :hug:

I had it a few months back and I would feel over it for 12 hours and then start again. It lasted 5-7 days for me.

Hope you are all back to good health soon.

have not read all responses, but I'd be asking your Dr about whether you might have giardia (sp...???). It's nasty and sounds like you're describing, but easily treated.

otherwise, there have been a few nasty stomach flus going around ...

or an infection in your gut?

stay hydrated hun - I hope you're feeling good as new soon xo

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? :hug:

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...

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 :hug:

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

And Nai :)

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

Yuck. Hope you're feeling better soon xx

feeling any better, hun?

xo

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...

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.

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

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. :sick: 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

What if I'm TTC? Will he know about that too? As in will he know what's ok to take if I'm TTC?

You can look up meds to check that they are ok for breastfeeding at LACTMED LactMed Search

A GP should be able to check that meds are ok for breastfeeding and for TTC.

With young babies, antibiotics in the Mum can affect their poos, but i'm not sure if this also applies to older bubs. It is more annoying than harmful though.

take care
