I have no idea what is going on, but in the past month I have had this stomach pain. My insurance sucks, so going to the doctors is sort of out. I mean I went, but without further testing, there isnt much to do.
It started about a month ago with an off plan meal of biscuits and gravy. One restaurant and Ive had the same response all 3 times, but the last time was the absolute worst and of course I will never ever eat there again. It laid me out for an entire day. I had no normal McDougall's revenge, quite the opposite really, where nothing came out. The only way I can describe it is...it feels as if the stomach twisted on itself. There was no passing of gas or burping. This day about a month ago, I slept all day. I drank no water and yet did not get dehydrated, urine remained clear. Not only did my actual stomach hurt, but it seemed to wrap around my back and affect the muscles too. Took a couple days, but slowly I felt better. Out of the blue earlier this week, it came back. Not as bad as a month ago, but eating has been really difficult. It hurts to be hungry and it hurts to be full...and anywhere in between. But I do not actually ever feel hungry or full, if that makes sense, my stomach just hurts more the hungrier I get. My stomach burns, but not in an acidy way and feels quite literally like its cramping. It was slowly getting better, then I woke up this morning again in significant pain. Fed the horses and came back home and slept on a heating pad for a couple hours. Now its manageable. But nothing and everything seems to cause it to hurt. And everything seems to cause it to bloat. Tums doesnt seem to have any affect on it at all either. The week before I had this odd back pain too...feeding the horses I noticed my upper back seemed really really tight and I noticed I was pinching my shoulder blades together while arching my back quite a bit, as if I were protecting my lower back. I ended up on the couch and taking Tylenol and laying on a very hot heating pad. I described it as if I had broken a rib, which I have done before, and breathing was difficult and painful to take a deep breath. This morning, I am feeling the pain in my stomach seem to wrap around to that spot where it hurt oh so bad the week prior. I am not sure if they are connected or not.
Soups and brothy types of food seems soothe it best. I did crave oatmeal one day last week, which is odd for me. I ate tortilla soup last week and it helped it a little and now Im working on the beefless stew, which I made brothy too. I really wish the bloating would go away, well and the pain too. To my knowledge, there is no virus going around with symptoms like this, so I doubt its that. Other than the pain, bloating and rarely nauseousness, I have no other intestinal distress, leading me to think its not food "poisoning" or something bad I ate. Ive been on plan and eating from home....so I doubt its that.
I used to be whole but having had an ovary and recently my thyroid removed, I am not and I certainly dont want any more pieces and parts removed. Plus the only insurance we can afford we cant afford to actually use it.
