for the past few weeks i have been feeling extremmly sick and cant stop heaving. .i am off food and can just about manage one meal a day. im survivingon murray mints and energy drinks

when i went to the doctors he prescribed me rehydration sachets cos i had the runs but it hasnt helped

he said he didnt want to give me anti sickness meds cos im only 18

ive had the runs for about 2 weeks now and feeling sick and extremely bad stomach aches

my mum says its becasue im not eating but i cant eat when i feel sick and she doesnt understand this

im at the end of my teather

any one got advice please?

Clear soup. By the bucket :p

A liquid diet can be beneficial as long as you're getting all the nutrients you need.

You probably aren't right now, which will only make you feel worse.
 
did the doctor suggest what could be causing this nausea?

i drink cold lemonade when i feel like that, it seems to take the edge of the sickly feeling, and sometimes stimulates my appetite.

clear soup, yep, and anything else really light, like clear jelly. maybe a multivitamin supplement might a good idea right now, too.
 
im drinking lucozade .. where do i get clear soup from?

my mums bought me a sandwhich and it made me heave.. i wish this would all go away :(

you can buy clear soups, either in tins or packets, from supermarkets, or if you're up to it, make your own with fresh vegetables & maybe a bit of chicken, then strain it when its cooked.
 
thank you

at themoment im drinking a stock cube in water

i dont know what else to do.. should i stay on clear fluids for a few days?

i think the doctors are sick of seeing me an di think my mum is sick of me heaving

i dont know how to explain to her that i just cant face food at the moment
x
 
I would stay on a liquid diet until your nausea starts going away. Sometimes you can get nauseas when you are hungry but that doesn't mean it's practical at the time to eat solid foods because you are unable to eat them. Stay on the stock, add some jello, and a good multi-vitamin.

This is one of the times that you have to sit your mom down and tell her what YOU need. I have had to do this with my parents in the past because although they are trying to get you better they often don't understand the disease and really it's hard for someone without the disease to put themselves in our place. You have to let her know how you feel and what's going on with you.

I hope you feel better soon
 
thank you

i went down to my mum and told her how i feel.. tbh she is at the end of her teather cos she is having problems with my brother and i know she is worried sick about me cos we dont know what is going on. i dont want to stress my mum out much cos she gets depressed but i cant carry on like this

we tried ringing the consultant i had who is a specialist with gastroenterolgy.. and suprise suprise he wasnt in (whenever i ring he isnt in.. he never rung me back when i last had a problem) and my doctor is away for 3 weeks !

where do i get jello from?

i should be ok drinking stock cubes, murray mints and lucozade for upto a few days shouldnt i ? im hoping that my tummy will get hungry enough to eat
x
 
it's always the case isn't it? when you really want someone - they're out of the country, or away on maternity, or have retired.. lol

jello is the usa term for jelly, laura.. you can buy ready made ones now - my kids love them.

how about ringing the gastro ward? see if maybe a senior nurse will give you some advice over the phone, particularly if it's a ward you've been a patient on.

i hope this sickly phase passes soon for you, its not much fun :(
 
I'm from the US and you can get it at any supermarket. I'm guessing you live in the UK since you are drinking lucozade. I don't know if they have it there. It's jsut gelatin with a flavor. Just another thing to put in your stomach with some flavor.

Best of luck
 
ive been feeling like this on and off for a few weeks.. today seems to be wrose where i cant stomach even a biscut and ive had the runs for ages ( it makes me embarrsed talking bout it lol)

ive tried seeing other doctors but they dont know my history so they give me something to stop me having the runs and thats it

ahh jelly :) yummy :)

im going to have fun tonight.. im working in a kitchen and no one can cover for me.. lovely as the smell of food makes me heave at the moment

my hospitals are crap.. they dont like giving help lol

they get rid of u as soon as they can weather your better or not
x
 
thank you

my stomachs hurting from the hunger.. i dont understand my stomach at times

x
 
thank you.. im sick of feeling sick.. if that makes sense lol

i have some porridge in the cupboard.. will need to get some soy milk.
i was meant to be on a dairy free diet but have still been having bits of semi skimmed milk

im drinking cuppa soups.. going to ring the consultant again tomorrow



my mum seems to have calmed down now and is trying to help me :)

thank you all for your advice and support.. dont know what i would do without you :):)
x
 
IT does make sense and I know what you mean. I'm having a nausious day myself. I get this every few months. *hugs*
 
Try chicken broth, you might have a problem with wheat. Try to go to the health food store and you can buy either soy, whey, or egg white protien powder. More than likely one of those will not cause problems by itself. Also try V8 splash, which you can mix with the aforementioned products.
 
wel.. my consultant is away until august aswell! im not amused lol

his secretary reccomended forti juice.. although they r abit horrible aswell

im so tired :( whats V8 splash?
x
 
When I was like you it was right before I had to have a surgury. V8 splash is a vegatable drink available in the Us
 
im quite pleased i managed to eat 2 eggs mixd up which is better than nothing

i will see if its avaliable over here :)

xx
 
*hugs*

I'm guessing you are having a flareup, judging by the nausea?

I agree with the liquid diet. I would be doing the same if my medications for my current flare didn't say "with food'..

Hope you feel better soon!!
 
I'm living on Knorr stock cubes at the moment. They sell them pretty much everywhere.

I get funny looks at work though :)

I don't think the funny looks are from the soup!

lol i found that out after.. i was in agony for about an hour cos i could feel it in my intestines :(
x
 
im drinking stock cubes, cuppa soup and forti-sips at the moment. can jsut about stomach 2 biscuts

its really getting me down my mum is stressing cos im not eating, i hate going into public places incase i throw up and my nana thinks im bullemic.

is it a flare up? i dont know if ive had one before. im new to all of this stil. wel.. ive never felt this bad before anyway. ave had the runs for about 2 weeks :(

x
 
laura, y'know, thinking about what you've said so far - that you've had actual vomiting and diarrhea for a number of weeks, cannot eat solid food.. i'm thinking more & more that you really could do with someone, a stomach specialist, taking a look at you. if the gp is just hearing one symptom - the runs - & giving you something to halt that, it's just possible it could be the wrong thing.

don't even let it cross your mind that doctors may be fed up of seeing you - you have every right to seek help & advice when things go wobbly like this, no matter how many visits or phone calls it takes.

if i were you, if the consultant is still absent, i would pester his secretary, or the ward, or anyone else on the gastro team, until i got some help.
 
ive only vomited once.. jsut got really bad heaving ..ive had the runs for ages now though :( my boyfriend suggested its all in my head :( i flipped a lid at him for that.

they also said i had low BP but said that was normal in young girls. its really really getting me down i dont wanna be ill just feel like im letting every one down

im not sure if my doctors is open until monday now.. i cant go the weekend feeling like this im so tired

i know this may sound bad but im terrified that i will have to have sometyhing done to me.. my friends got a tube in her tummy cos she cant eat but i dont want one.. i dont mean to sound mean or horrible i jsut dont want to be ill

thank you for your support.. dont knwo how i would cope without it atm

low BP can be normal for you - mine is on the low side naturally - but it can also be an indication that you're dehydrated..

i wouldn't wait for the gp practice to open - i'd contact the hospital direct. i don't mean to scare you hun, but honestly it sounds like you need some expert advice, and quickly.
 
iv bin on omeprazole since i was in hospital (about 6 months ago)

im sorry i jsut get really panicky. this is going to sound really weird cos im 18 but i usually wait for my mum tell me i need to go to the doctors cos i dont like going lol. ill jsut see if i can find the number for them. if i cant could i ring the helpline and get help from there?
x
 
Yeah Babe I know what you are going through. I have had that happen to me a few times before and I went to the hospital and I didn't need a tube. Just some medication helped out a lot.

Get better soon
 
I too have low BP been that way for many years. But here is the thing -

Say it isn't a flare say it's some kind of bug - you are still uncomfortable to the point it is effecting your daily life. When anything effects you to the point that it is effecting and interrupting your daily life you need to see a doctor. I.E. can't go to the store, can't finish a meal - so on and so forth. Even when I have a cold I can finish a meal, go to the bathroom decently, still go to the store. I know it is something more when I can't do those things. FYI Dry heaving is still considered throwing up - it's just you don't have anything TO throw up. So in short -

>in her best mommy voice< Hunny, you have to go to the doctor

Grrr, that sort of comment makes me mad :ymad:

Sometimes I wish that you could give people who say those things a day of Crohn's disease. I think that would shut them up.
 
well.. ive told my boyfriend me and him are on a break until i atleast get a little bit better because i need to focus on me and no one else lol... i think he took it ok.. if he loves me he will understand

my mum and dad said its in my head n all.. it just gets better n better

im going to ring the doctors tomorrow first thing in the morning.


can i ask.. does anyone notice anything about their tongue.. i know its a weird question but my mum said something about you can tell by your tongue if you ar ehealthy or not
x
 
well, sometimes if you have a tummy bug or you're short on fluids, the tongue can look whitish.. if you have a yeast/fungal infection, it can look yellow/brown or furry.. but i wouldn't promote tongue analysis as a way of detecting what's wrong. it's like treating a child's high temperature with paracetamol, & ignoring what the possible cause is...

it does seem your mum doesn't understand Crohns - what it does to us, and how it makes us feel. maybe you could buy her a book on it? many pharmacies here in the UK have little books on sale, covering many medical topics, and i know there is one on Crohns Disease.

how are you feeling now? did you get to the doctor? hope you're better than you were when you last posted ((hugs))
 
If you can tell someone is sick just by their tongue why do doctors get paid a lot of money for what they do? My sister looked completely normal and she had a brain tumor, my exhusband's father looked fine and he had terminal cancer. Diagnosing is just as much art as it is science. The tongue thing is an old wives tale and is completely untrue.

Try to welcome your mother to the 21st century.. it's not as scary as it looks ;)
 
my tongue is whiteish lol

wel.. ive been vomiting all morning. going to see the doctor at 10.50
and ive got the dentist at 9.55 wahoo someone poking around my mouth.. thats sure to make me feel better :(


xx
 
good luck at the docs, Laura. glad you're going today - sorry about the dentist as well tho, poor you.

let us know what doc says.
 
thank you... i usually like the dentist but im dreading it today

thank you.. im going to be really mad if they dont fix me today.. ive been waiting 7 months :(
x
 
aw :( it's been a rotten time for you. let's hope today is the turning point. i'll keep my fingers crossed for you hun. x
 
ive been to the doctors and she prescribed me 2 weeks of anti sickness tablets, ive got to do a stool sample (EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK)

she felt my tummy and said it was very tender ( what does that mean? it means sore doesnt it?) and she looked at my food diary and said i hadnt been eating alot at all and that i cannot wait for my appntment on 21st august so it must be brought forward because i cant keep loosing weight at the rate i am doing ( lost 1/2 stone in a week and now im only 8stone) and its quite obvious that somethings wrong

thank you Dingbat :)

atleast my parents and boyfriend now know its not in my head lol

x
 
yep, tender means sore.. she probably felt you tense up or saw you wince when she examined you..

well - it's been a positive appointment then, in more ways than one. i hope they can hurry up and get you seen in clinic quickly.. and it's a shame that it took this to convince your parents & boyfriend, but at least something has, now!

lol, i take it this is your first stool sample experience then? (insert evil laugh here)

lol
 
lol i had to do one in hospital cos i had internal bleeding and i was soo embaressed i got my mum to give it to them lmao .. i get embaressed so easily..although.. i wasnt embaressed by the colonoscopy ... im weird i suppose :)

i hope the anti sickness tablets work quickly! been trying get hold of the gestroenterology dept all afternoon and no one is answering.

lol u evil for laughing at me :p hehe
x
 
Ya I just put in a refill request today for my pain killers and anti-nausea - sometimes they help and sometimes they don't and sometimes they just make you extremely sleepy - so be mindful of that.
 
i will remember that. ive been so sleepy the past few days... if the anti nausea tablets make me sleepier ill be asleep all of the time lol

i used to get so embarressed buying personl stuff.. i used to go bright red lol

jsut trying to get my appointment moved forward with the consultant and still cant get hold of them grrrr :(
xx
 
thank you

i am having trouble sleeping keep waking up at 5am throwing up

got my appointment with the hospital moved forward atleast.. its now on the 14th but if i get worse ill need an emergency one

im drinking fortisip.. does that have dairy in?
x
 
hi Laura - i found the ingredients list on Fortisip on google - it does have milk protein in, plus a lot of excellent nutrients, vitamins, minerals etc.. sounds a perfect solution for you right now. i hope it helps you regain some strength until this flare passes.
 
thank you Dingbat :)

i cant wait til this passes im really fed up of being up at 5 being sick :(

does any one else find that mornings are worse?
x
 
Mine always gets worse in the evening or night. But that works well for me since my daughter goes to bed and I can just focus on me.
 
i am feeling quite abit better.. stil a little nauseus but certainly not as bad as i was and i can eat propper food now..although its not alot atleast its something
x
