Hi everyone,
I've been doing okay with my emet for a while now, even though my family had a SV about 3 weeks ago and everyone but me got it!
Since then, I've been eating tums, which I didn't used to do. I probably have 2-4 max per day and not every day. My anxiety has been higher since the SV hit my house.
Yesterday I felt fine all day other than a bit of stomach discomfort after eating lunch. I had a bm and felt pretty normal. Got hungry for dinner, ate, went out, and had 2 pints of wheat beer between 11pm-midnight. I went to bed around 1am feeling normal and slept normally.
Ever since waking up today I've had really horrible full abdomen stomach cramps. Here's where it may get a bit graphic, FYI. After having one of the bad cramps I feel the urge to have a bm. The bm's though, all day, have been very little to no fecal matter, have been soft, and yellowish in color, and are accompanied by some gas. The cramps leading up to them are SO PAINFUL and are very similar to the ones I had when I last had a SV. I've not been nauseated and was starving around 2pm. Tried to eat a few bites of pasta but it became repulsive pretty quickly. I am having these cramps and bm's about every 20 minutes since 2pm!!!!! They were happening this morning too just less frequently. I have been drinking ginger tea and took 2 tums in the morning and 2 tums a bit later.
Do any of you think this sounds like a SV? Could it have been the beer? Something else?? PLEASE share with me what you think if you are reading this!!!!
