A bit concerned :S

[GlasgowGirl86]

I started feeling a bit sick yesterday after eating and after about an hour it would pass. Today I have no appetite and have just been eating for the sake of eating, I've started to lose weight and don't want to stop eating altogether. I've not had a bowel movement since yesterday morning which isn't normal for me. Just experienced really bad pain all over my abdomen radiating through to my back, thankfully it's starting to calm down. Don't really know what to think of this and don't know if I should be worried.

If the pain continues, you get a fever or other symptoms I would call the doctor. Hope you feel better soon!

How are you feeling today?

 

[GlasgowGirl86]

Thanks for asking SarahBear Still feeling a bit sicky and have no appetite. Lots of crampy pains in my lower abdo and relentless heartburn. My bowels have opened today (yay) a few times with a bit of mucous mixed in. I have a weird sour bitter taste in my mouth, no idea what that's all about!

 

[SarahBear]

I'm glad you're doing a bit better! Have you called your GI? In your situation I'd probably make an appointment, or at least let them know what's going on.

The sour taste is probably related to the heartburn. Do you usually experience heartburn?

I've yet to meet my GI consultant. I had my first colonoscopy + biopsies 4 and half weeks ago and I'm still waiting on my initial appointment with the consultant to get my results. Apparently he went off on holiday so not much was done while he was away. My only option is to contact my GP in the meantime while I wait but they don't have the biopsy results yet either. I had an issue with chronic heartburn a few years ago, it seemed to resolve itself but now it's back with a vengeance!

 

[SarahBear]

That's terribly inconvenient. Hopefully they'll get you scheduled soon. In the meantime, you might want to contact your GP to help you manage the heartburn and pain until you can see the GI, and definitely go to the hospital if things get too bad.

:hug:

I'll need to wait till Tuesday to contact my GP because it's a bank holiday here tomorrow. Chucking back ranitidine like there's no tomorrow in the meantime.
Ive went all day today again without a bowel movement. Seems like I have a day off, day on situation going on here!

So I've went a second day without a bowel movement, I don't have much of an appetite, my abdomen is very bloated looking and the abdo pain radiating through to my back has returned but not quite as bad as last time. I don't feel constipated, there's just nothing happening. Definitely phoning my GP first thing to make an appointment.

If your pain worsens or you start vomiting, head to emerg please. This is starting to sound a lot like the partial obstructions that I had when I was younger. If it is, you may need to have a bit of bowel rest as a starting point.

Ok thanks I will definitely go to A&E if I get any worse. Starting to panic a bit now!
