Annoyed with my body today

[belle1999]

So, I am technically in remission. Wouldn't that mean I would be feeling pretty good all the time?
Today, I am feeling fine except for this damn acid reflux! I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary. But I keep burping and then acid. And then my mouth waters up like it is preparing for me to vomit. I am hoping this isn't some kind of sign of things getting bad again. I hope it is just a weird "hiccup" for today. Oh, and I only ate breakfast this morning. Since then, I haven't been hungry.

Just had to vent a minute about my crazy body!!!

Sorry this is happening but I have a Hiatus hernia and it acts up for no reason. Maybe we just dont see why it is acting up. Too much food at anytime can get mine into action.

Btw I hate my body all the time!

I am often annoyed with my body! I had my 2nd bowel resection in March, I felt great for about 4 weeks and now for the past few weeks I'm not feeling very good again!! My Dr has assured me it's not a flare up, so why do I not feel good?? My "bowel habits" aren't quite back to normal. Why??

So I know how you feel. Our bodies never do as they're told!

Fingers crossed that you'll be feeling 'normal' soon.

Hope you feel better soon, Belle!

Is the acid reflux something new? Have you taken anything that helps?

I don't know if it's the same thing as heartburn, but Prilosec really helped mine. Also a home remedy of Apple Cider Vinegar, hot water and lemon juice. Sounds gross but it really helps.

Sorry you had such a bad morning. I hope you are feeling better.

Well, I got up and walked around a bit. Did a few things around the house. That seemed to help. It is still kind of there, but no where near like it was this afternoon. I really thought I was going to end up vomiting. That is kind of how my vomiting started before. I would feel tons of reflux and then later that day/next day, I would be vomiting. I think it scared me today because of what had happened before. I also got a little shaky earlier, so I made sure I ate something (even thought I wasn't hungry). Again, I am just hoping it was an off day or something.
Amy - don't have any prilosec around right now. might have to make sure i get some to have on hand. i would think that the vinegar and lemon juice combo would make things worse since it is highly acidic. but hey, i am almost willing to try anything when it gets as bad as it was this afternoon.

Yeah, you'd think the vinegar would be horrible, but I swear it works! Also keep in mind that prilosec takes four days to really kick in - you have to keep it in your system. Be sure to check with your doc to make sure it's okay to take along with your other drugs.

I believe it works due to homeostasis.
