I know I havent posted in awhile. During the time Ive been absent Ive been sick-like.
Over the past week I can hardley get out of bed. Last tuesday I started getting sulfer burps, then the pain under the right ribs kicked in.
Its always been there but the intensity comes and goes.
I finally almost completely quit eating friday to get them to go away. The pain stayed and I just ended up hungry.
Sunday I went to the hospital and spent 5 hours in there. They took blood, urine, and an ultrasound.
No gallstones and nothing they can see wrong with my gallbladder.
They said its gastritis vs ulcers and prescribed me zantac and another strong anti-acid. These are caused by excessive smoking, drinking, eating of anti-inflammatory
I want to cry. Its not my stomach that hurts! its from my right side (like under my arm almost) to the spot where the rib cage starts bending upwards in the middle.
Honestly I felt like they just wanted to know what was wrong with me then and there. They wouldnt listen to ALL my symptoms.
I go for a check up in 2 weeks (to a different Dr) and I plan on making a list of my diet and symptoms.
When all this started I began having the WORST nightmares, the kind that rattles you out of your sleep. Once I wake from these its an hour or more for me to fall back asleep.
Usually its due to pain or nausea
I guess I have GOT to change my diet. Thing is... I feel like all Im allowed to eat is crackers and water (blah!)
No fats, oils, acids, flavor, dairy, carbs, etc etc
anyone have any ideas on what I can eat?
