Re: Tummy Bug
Tiff, you say you get this from time to time, but is your doctor aware of this, and has it been diagnosed properly?
These tummy things can be so many things, from a simple tummy upset from something you've eaten, to all sorts of other things.
I'm afraid I don't agree with Swim saying ' think of the weight loss' as this is not just a one-off from what you say -
that is the difference. You shouldn't keep on getting a tummy bug!
Not sure Ibuprofen is the best thing either, as that alone aggravates some people's tummy's, same as Aspirin can, unless you take something like Omoprazole too.
I had tummy problems a while back, and the hospital told me not to take Ibuprofen or Aspirin , but unless you get a diagnosis you don't know if you are doing the right thing or aggravating it more.
I do agree with what Art said though, and no food for 24 hrs, but stay hydrated with plenty of water to flush everything though.
Hope you soon feel on the mend.
