puppylove Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 It's gotten to the point where if I eat ANYTHING it makes my stomach so bloated and sick feeling that I don't want to move. I have tried not eating anything for a day a couple of times but that makes me dizzy and I can't concentrate. Even drinking is a problem and makes me feel the same way. I lost about 15 pounds throughout the last month, which really isn't a bad thing because I gained weight on florinef. Not sure what to do. Does anyone have any ideas?

Katybug Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Have you tried drinking maybe 1/4 or 1/2 of a meal replacement shake that you like every hour or so? Maybe taking the really small amounts of concentrated nutrition will get you through until you get this figured out?? I really hope so....

Jacquie802 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'd suggest trying what katybug has mentioned above. Also, when I have severe stomach bloat I try to drink small sips of hot fluids such as decaf tea-it doesn't bother me like colder drinks do. Have you tried things like apple sauce or soups in small amounts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattleRain Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Have you tried eating small amounts of leafy green vegetables, like mixed greens? They usually have them pre-washed, organic at the grocery store near the produce. This is my go-to food when I'm having stomach issues as it makes me feel great and doesn't give me an overwhelming full/bloating/heartburn feeling like other foods do (including whole fruits).

corina Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm a little hesitant to say but for me cafeine works best. It helps when I'm nauseated and when bloated (at night after dinner). I have tea with breakfast and lunch but got bloated right after dinner. Which made me think to try have coffee or tea right after that and it works for me. I have to do small meals but I do feel better now! Hope you'll find what works for YOU puppy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackiemxoxo Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I agree with the meal replacement shakes and eating smaller meals more frequently. Also, have you tried a probiotic? Florastor helped me with my stomach issues if you think its a possible imbalance in gut flora.. just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyLane Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'd recommend juicing (fruits and veggies) as they pack a lot of nutrients in a small concentrated amount of fluid. Ideally drink in between meals but if you are not able to eat at least drinking the juice will get you the vitamins you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leigh8 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 You could try drinking Ensure....lots of calories and nutrients packed into a small amount of liquid, and it tastes good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any sort of anti-nausea remedy you could take for now with food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looneymom Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Puppylove have you tried ginger tea made from real ginger root, Ginger is really good for nausa. It got so bad during my second pregnancy, that I had to drink this before I ate anything and sometimes I drank it with my meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila1366 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I have gastroparesis and I fell for you. The bloating and nausea...pain is so bad. The bloating could be due to your colon slowing down. I have to drink miralax everyday...3 to 4 doses or else I will develop a blockage that is very painful. I stay away from any raw fruits or veggies, nuts, pickles,popcorn, wheat, meats. I live off of chicken noodle soup broth, boost cause it is lactose free, water with MIO mixed in cause I stay very thirsty and saltine crackers. I use liquid phengran for nausea. The bloating for me happens sometimes as soon as anything is in my stomach, looks like I am carrying twins sometimes. Heating pad helps with the pain. I stay away from caffine just due to my bladder issues.Do you have GP? Some people I know have a stimulator put on their stomach to help it empty and helps some with their nausea. Have you got a motility dr. to help you?I am down 80 pounds so far. Good thing I was heavy or else I would be on a tube by now. I am losing weight again, on my 5th day of 1 boost a day and very small amount of jello...oh I do eat jello.I do have a great nutritionist too. If I need help she is there. Love that!Bless you honey, pray that things get better for you today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobiano Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 That sounds like a tough place to be. Maybe the small sips of meal replacement... not sure how you respond to that. Hope you find some relief soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
