Tummy Bug

Afternoon All, spent most of this morning in bed with a nasty tummy bug, no idea where I got it from, not been anywhere & don't think I've eaten anything different either. I do suffer periodically from this, but usually if I've eaten something I know I shouldn't.
I was so crook, Daughter even came to help me. She is lovely.
She brought Ibuprofen which helped the pain anyway. I hate that & three times nearly fainted this morning, but made it to the bed each time, with her help, so much for social distancing but I needed her.
I feel better now.
All I've eaten today are a few bread sticks to try & stop my growling tummy, but it hasn't stopped the growling. I know if I eat it will come back tomorrow, so I must stay strong.

Does anyone else get this? I usually just get the horrible waves of pain & the diarrhea, plus the faintness, very rarely sickness with it & not this time.

Hi

Yes, your symptoms are not unusual.

Loads of it about at the moment.

Be positive, think of the weight loss.

Re: Tummy Bug

Thanks for your reply, Apricot.
Daughter said the same thing, but I have had it before & it usually goes on it's own after 24/48 hours, depending on how much or little I eat.

Re: Tummy Bug

Thanks Swimmy, not sure if I'll lose weight, but I am drinking lots of water, so I should pee a lot.

Re: Tummy Bug

Tiffany, I am sorry to read you’re not so well.
I haven't had a tummy bug for years but when l did, all l wanted, was fizzy lemonade.

I think the advice really, is to starve yourself for 24 hours and sip water.

I hope it passes soon as it takes all the goodness out of you and makes you feel weak.

Re: Tummy Bug

I hope you'll feel better soon Tiff, not very nice feeling nauseous and faint at the same time

Re: Tummy Bug

Thanks Artangel, it sure does make you weak. I am drinking a lot of water.

Re: Tummy Bug

Only has the fainting with it, Mags, luckily no sickness this time anyway. Thanks for your post.

Re: Tummy Bug

Hope you are feeling better Tiffany last time I had a tummy bug was when I caught Norovirus at Christmas 3 years ago and spent a night on the bathroom floor wrapped in a duvet to weak to go back to bed <<shudders>>
