Sick feelin prior to BR usage?

[Galadriel]

Hey all,


Sorry to be graphic or anything, but do you ever find your stomach feels real yuck/off before you gotta go #2 sometimes? I get like this and it really scares me! Right now its about 2am and I've woken up with my stomach feeling odd, and I've been using the BR, hopefully it'll get better feeling here soon. Sometimes tho I get afraid I'm gonna v* I get so yuck feeling, but I never do I just gotta go BR. Is this common? It usually happens evening/nite when it does occur. I think one thing that would help is if I didn't eat anything say past 7 or 8pm cause I'm finding that seems to keep the digestive tract going when it needs to rest.

I used to do that quite frequently when my GERD/IBS was really bad. I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling like I might *v*. My stomach would hurt and then after I would use the bathroom a few times, I was usually just fine. I rarely do that anymore and I'm glad because it is a yucky feeling. And, you may be right about not eating too late. I try not to eat anything heavy after 6:30pm. If I try to eat a meal after that, I'm usually up in the middle of the night feeling sick!

I actually get that quite a lot and put it down to the fact that i don't actually 'go' that often. Where i am eatingnext to nothing,i seem to be in a permanant state of constipation and i always feel yucky before i need to go, no matter if it is day or night. I never eat after 6pm anyway as i am worried about waking up in the middle of the night and feeling sick.


Hope you feel better soon x

I think that is probably normal. I will feel yucky sometimes and then use the bathroom and feel fine again. Now that you know this about yourself when you feel this way again you can see if you need the bathroom before letting yourself worry that you are sick.

I know, as a teacher, if a kid says his/her stomach hurts, the most common response is: "Well, go to the bathroom and see if that helps." (Except as an emet teacher, my response is more like: "Ahhh!! Get out of my classroom!!!" )
