upset stomach

[sophie_1003]

On Friday I felt really naseous all day, slept for about 15 hrs Friday night and on Saturday felt much better. However, every day since that have had very loose bowel movement every morning then feel bloated all day after eating lunch. I can't get to the doctors today, and is near on impossible to actually get an appointment with them anyway so has anyone got any advice in the meantime?

Stay off dairy products altogether, eat toast and jam ( no butter ) and drink FLAT Coke ( pour it into a glass and then use a fork to stir all bubbles out ) You should feel a lot better within 36hrs. If not see a doctor.

Dont know if u'll get this sophie, hope your feeling better, it sounds like it could either be a bit of a stomach bug in which case it should work its way out of your system within the next day or so. The other thing is a possible food intolerance. Or even irritable bowel syndrome. I have ibs and its very common, you have bouts of diarreha (sorry for spelling) and regular bloated feelings in your tummy usually after eating a meal and sometimes you can feel quite nauseous with it too. Hope you feel better

I agree with the coca cola. It may help. However, you could have a variant of e-coli. IN the meantime, please obtain some Diralyte which will help replace the electrolytes in your body and may possibly help with the loose stools. But if it persists...get to the doctor..even if you have to go and wait!

I wish you well
