take a laxative!

Re: i m seriously at my wits end with being sick-tmi

i dont think its stress related, cause it just feels weird, and im not stressed over much lol...

..oh lord it might come down to that and i dont wanna do it LOL:)

Re: i m seriously at my wits end with being sick-tmi

If this has been going on for more than a week then I would consider going to the Dr.

Are you drinking enough water? You need to flush out your system.
I would also try the laxitive suggestion if you haven't gone in more than 3 days.

Go to the nearest bookstore and get

Read it and just do it!

Re: i m seriously at my wits end with being sick-tmi

oh man..it sux cause i have ibs and there were times i didnt go to the br for 11 days!!! needless to say, that is not normal and i take meds...but being that i feel this is a stomach bug and not ibs related i was really trying not to go that route..they always tell me the same thing...

tea..
no dairy...
exercise...
peppermint helps
avoid certain foods...

ugh i m so frustrated

How about prune juice?
I know its gross - but at least its natural.

FYI - the prune juice you buy in the store is not at natural as you may think. It is processed and pasteurized. Heating it above 115 degrees kills the good enzymes thus making it almost useless.

Really? I had no idea. Hmmmmm

Re: i m seriously at my wits end with being sick-tmi

I would just eat light food, nothing too heavy and drink lots of water. But maybe you should go to the doctor to get a 2nd opinion.

Yup! Most of what the average everyday store sells is junk for our bodies. (FYI-on my soap box here) And we succumb to marketing ploys to think we are eating something healthy. I.E. energy bars are glorified and over priced candy bars. Many fruits and vegetables are picked unripe. One process to ripen them is gassing them. The gas is a by product of kerosene. Yummy, right! (okay, off soap box)

Re: i m seriously at my wits end with being sick-tmi

Try cranberry juice. Where it states 100% juice. Most store brands are actually better not ocean spray because of the juice content. or try apple cider heat a little bit. ETA: Or try Chicken Soup with pastina in it

Re: i m seriously at my wits end with being sick-tmi

EWWWWW. Kerosene??????????????

Agreed!
But a good rule of thumb is if it is processed or heated above 115 degrees it's probably not all that you'd like it to be.

Re: i m seriously at my wits end with being sick-tmi

hmmmm, this is good info...







sorry to hijack your thread Michi, and I do hope you feel better...btw, did you try coffee? for some it acts as a natural laxative.

Sorry, coffee = very bad.

Makes the body very acidic! Thus disrupts the digestive process.
