Oh dear I’ve not been feeling great for the last few days My tummy’s bloated and uncomfortable, loose stools, cramping pains, lethargic and generally unwell and miserable. Not sure if it’s my IBS having a flare up or I’ve eaten somthing that didn’t agree with me. I’ve taken some mebeverine that’s in date but beenin the cabinet for ages. I’m only eating light foods. I’m wondering if any one can give me advice about what to eat while things settle.

Sending love and hugs morethan. Look on it as enforced rest. flowersbrew

morethan hope you soon feel better. I expect they were worried because you are dehydrated. I hope a drip will sort you out. At least you are now being cared for. Wishing you all the best

You're! blush
I know better than that but keep doing it lately.

MissAdventure Wed 28-Nov-18 23:51:27

My very best wishes to you, morethan.
Try to rest whilst your there, and hopefully you'll come home fighting fit again.

Oh my goodness morethan I just thought you had a bit of a bug like me . So sorry to hear you’ve been admitted to hospital . I do hope they get to the bottom of what’s making you poorly . Thinking of you x

Morethan, all best wishes for your speedy tecovery.

Not where you wanted to be morethan but I’m relieved you are being cared for. Here’s hoping for a speedy resolution. flowers and a gentle hug.

Oh no! Just as well you went to the GP. Hope you feel much better soon. Sleep as well as you can.

Willow500 Wed 28-Nov-18 21:46:37

Oh gosh Morethan that's worrying - at least the doctor has taken it seriously, it's probably just a precaution but they will presumably do tests and hopefully get to the bottom of it. Get well soon flowers

morethan2 Wed 28-Nov-18 21:39:27

I wasn’t expecting this
I eventually went to my wonderful g.p and here I am admitted to hospital. Ican hardly believed it. I just thought she’d give me some medicine. But she was insistent. I haven’t been near a hospital for over 20 years. I should have gone to g.p sooner it’s my own faultblush

kittylester Wed 28-Nov-18 19:56:12

I'm sorry for all you sufferers. sad

Try flat lemonade.

Chewbacca Wed 28-Nov-18 19:32:57

Considerations or commiserations, you choose!

Chewbacca Wed 28-Nov-18 19:32:20

Considerations morethan; IBS is utterly miserable. When I've had a flare up, I've found that drinking peppermint tea really does help. Sometimes I add 2 tea bags to the brew, so that's it really quite strong. It's a good job I live alone because the amount of air it helps to dispel is staggering, but that's a good thing with IBS.

Hope you feel much better very soon. brew

I’ve also got a horrible taste in my mouth and have Cleaned my teeth a dozen times today already .

gillybob Wed 28-Nov-18 19:14:06

I haven’t eaten a bite since Monday evening and I had to force that down, as I was sitting with the DGC . Had weak diluted juice today . That’s it .

Fennel Wed 28-Nov-18 19:09:48

I had the same thing during last night.
But better today TG.
Eat bland food little but often.

gillybob Wed 28-Nov-18 18:59:27

No not really seacliff my tummy is bloated I feel as sick as a dog and have awful tummy cramps. I had to come out of work yesterday and couldn’t make it in today at all . Such a waste of time .

seacliff Wed 28-Nov-18 18:49:11

Oh dear Gillybob, not a club anyone would want to join. The only benefit is my clothes are looser (apart from bloated tummy) as I've eaten very little in the last week.

gillybob Wed 28-Nov-18 18:44:44

Can I join the club morethan and seacliff ? I have identical symptoms . envy and not with envy .
