stressed/eating/sick

[Mike's Girl]

Ok so lately ive been a bit more stressed then normal... past 4-days or so i noticed that i havent really been eating. Now the only reason why i noticed this is beacause im ''writing'' down everything i eat For reasons of my own.

So i tried to eat more today, i felt so sick to my stomach. All i had today was a Banana, orange, yogurt, pear. Not in that order but you know what i mean. and i had the yogurt and orange at the same time. I forced my self on the banana and pear because i knew i HAD to eat something and maybe thats why my stomach was hurting so bad *because its empty* ...

Yet this wasnt the first time. It hurts really bad like sharp jabbing pain/cramp dont get near me or imma getcha feeling.
I had an ulcer a bit back took meds all better but i think i may have another one or that one never really did heal.

But when i had the ulcer, i couldnt hold down anything. This is a totally different feeling.

Anyone been in this same boat or because stress load increases body shuts down?

Why're you so stressed out, She-ra?

Hmmm...when I am stressed I don't eat...opposite of most people. So I know what you mean. But I don't usually get sharp pains...just an overall feeling of not wanting to eat. Have you had the pain for the past 4 days as well? Any fever? Stress can have a lot of negative affects on the body, but if the pain continues or you have a fever, I would see a doc.

when i get stressed and i eat i get gastric dumping. and if i don't eat i get horrible heart burn. you need to try to come to terms with what ever is causing you stress and find a way to deal with it. it can reek havoc on your body. try peppermint tea to soothe the stomach it works sometimes for me, but you might want to go see the doc if it doesn't let up. could be the flu thats going around to, i couldn't eat for a few days and i was in pain, doubled over. ??? just a couple ideas, plz post and let us know how you are doing.. hope you feel better soon.

Sorry to hear that chera. I am sorry I have no advice for this situation. May be visit the doctor and have their opinion. I hope you get over this soon.

it's cause yo'ure not eating. i had the same issue. i realized i wasn't eating and that might be the cause of the pain so i thought i'd just start eating more and a lot. and that just made me almost feel worse. nm i'll just call you in a minute i'm not in the mood to type

A few years ago I went to a very stressful time, meds helped a little. I took a class on stress management and stuck to what I learned and it helped a LOT.

When I go through the "I can't eat" phase I'll drink water (with some gatorade or something in it) just to give me something in my belly. Not too much, just enough so I don't keel over.

Stomach aches as a part of stress are fairly common, you're not alone. Learn to manage your stressors!

ok so i ate a big ol dinner my stomach killed after that.....

i wanted to hide for a very long time

but the next morning felt so much better..

i guess i just need to force my self because i felt soooo much better i cant explain it.

but it still hurts every now and then but i just grab a fruit and it will shut it up.

I called my doc and he said he is extending my Rx and if i still hurt in 7 days to call him back.

Either way thanks for the help.
