Stomach Problems

I seem to be doing better now. I got some gatorade and some pink bismuth and they seem to help. Like I said, it goes and comes, though. I only go to the doctor as a last resort. I'm aware that it never hurts to be cautious and I'm sure you mean well. If it gets any worse, I'll go to the doctor, though. Thank you for responding and happy mylotting. Kathy.

It's okay. I was sure you meant well. I try not to tell other people what to do because I know how I feel when somebody tells me what to do. I hope you are doing well. Kathy.

Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Just make sure to drink lots of water too to prevent dehydration. But,never meant to make you feel bad and I did have good intentions. Just don't get to my age and not tell young people what they should do LOL good going tho:)

HI Kathy; aaaahhh!! Those wonderful "nerves" we all have that make our guts go into disarray ....sounds like me, I blame my family for 99.9% of mine LOL! so how are you today then? Any better? certain foods we eat too of course effect us too, I've had to quit eating a lot of my favorite "greasy foods" over the years, of course I do backslide on some of them once in awhile, but I know I'm gonna "Pay for it too"...LOL! you take care now and I hope it eases up for you; {{hugs}}

Hi Jan! I went to the doctor Monday and she (I go to a woman doctor) said there is a virus going around. She also said that I had a urinary tract infection. Both of my sisters and I are prone to get UTIs a lot. Anyway, the doctor said that my stomach problems could either be due to the virus or the UTI. She prescribed some medicine for me for both problems. She prescribed Ciprofloxacin, which is an antibiotic, for my UTI and Phenergan for my stomach. I seem to be doing better but I know it's going to take some time. Antibiotics can sure make you feel bad until your body gets adjusted to them. I went to church tonight and the little boy who had swine flu was there. He said he was doing okay. Also, they said there were two more cases reported. The guy who did the announcements didn't say who they were. He just announced who was out sick. I'm going to start taking extra precautions such as washing my hands more often and wiping down the bars on the grocery carts at the grocery store. It pays to be cautious, I think. Kathy.

Hi Jan! I seem to be doing better but like I said, it goes and comes. I got some gatorade and some pink bismuth (the generic brand of Pepto Bismol) and they seem to help. I haven't had any fever. If it gets any worse, I will go to the doctor. I only go to the doctor as a last resort. I have bad sinuses, too, and sometimes my stomach problems can be blamed on them. I have a nervous stomach, anyway. Kathy.

Hi Opal! I seem to be feeling better today but like I said, it goes and comes. I got some Pink Bismuth (the generic brand of Pepto Bismol) and some gatorade and they both seem to help. I haven't had any fever and I'm thankful for that. If I get any worse, I will go to the doctor. In the meantime, I might call them Monday and find out what's going on. Thank you for responding. Kathy.

I hope you and your gf get to feeling better!Kathy.

I went to the doctor today and she (I go to a woman doctor) said there was a virus going around. She said my stomach problems could be due to this. She also said that I had a urinary tract infection and she prescribed some medicine for both of these problems. A uti can cause your stomach to hurt, too. The person who was diagnosed with swine flu at church was a little 12 year old boy. I went to church Sunday Night and they said he was doing better and recuperating at home now. Kathy.

Hi cynthiann! I seem to be doing well now. Thank you for responding. I haven't had any fever. I'm still as active as I always have been. They're saying in our local newspaper that Walker County, which is the county I live in, that we're not swine flu free now. It's been reported in the schools and they're telling kids to not go to school if they have any symptoms. Thye're also telling everybody to keep washing your hands. As for wiping the bars down on grocery carts, I haven't been doing this but I'm going to start. I got some gatorade and that seems to be helping. Kathy.

I seem be doing better. However, I'm still having problems off and on. Right now, I'm pretty nauseated. I finally got an appointment with my doctor today at 3:20 so I'll see what she says. The person that had swine flu at church is a little 12 year old boy. He's doing better and is recuperating at home now. I'm glad to know that your son is doing better. Thank you for responding and happy mylotting. Kathy.

Hi derek_a! The last time I called my hospital for medical advice, which was several years ago, they told me they weren't allowed to give out medical advice over the phone any more. I seem to be feeling better right now. Like I said in my discussion, it goes and comes, though. I got some Pink Bismuth (the generic brand of Pepto Bismol) and gatorade and they sem to help. I haven't had a fever and for that I'm thankful. If I should get worse, I will go to the doctor. I only go to the doctor as a last resort. Thank you for responding. Kathy.

I haven't had any fever and I'm thankful for that. I do have a nervous stomach, though. I also have a lot of sinus problems and it could be due to that. I got some Pink Bismuth (the generic brand of Pepto Bismol) and some gatorade and they seem to help. I'm feeling better right now but like I said, it goes and comes. I usually go to the doctor as a last resort. If I get any worse, I will go. Thank you for responding and happy mylotting.Kathy.
