So just over 2 weeks ago I had a couple drinks with a friend (around 5 drinks & I happened to mixed them. 2 beers 2 ciders 1 rum and coke.)
But ever since then my gut health has been horrendous and I have researched enough to come to the conclusion that it could POSSIBLY be gastritis.
The day after was the usual throwing and diarrhoea but I continued to violently throw up for about 3 days after with gnawing burning aches in my stomach and stayed home from work it was so bad I couldn’t stand straight. But the vomiting was the only thing that stopped by day 3.
I haven’t been able to use the bathroom like normal nor have I been able to eat half as much as I usually would: 3 meals and a few snack, whereas now I’m down to 1-2 light meals a day and something caffeinated to keep me going because I can’t take the nausea from food. I also can’t not eat because then the nausea is WORSE and it hurts.
I have been hiccuping like crazy too, which increases the stomach pain and bloating to the point where I have to unbutton my jeans to take pressure off of my stomach, regardless of weight loss from not eating.
I’ve got a phone call with a doctor on Wednesday but I’m seriously wondering whether or not this is even something to worry about (maybe that’s just me).
I’ve always had stomach issues related to anxiety but never experienced it like this before. Help 🥲
