Day 54 Fast day and freaking out

by jmousey on 14 Nov 2013, 08:58

Weight: 118lbs

I am freaking out and its not to do with weight. I can explain the gain in that I am unbelievably bloated - my stomach just seems to be full of gas and my TOTM is due this week and I feel shoddy. However, the thing freaking me out is the stomach ulcer. Its a dull sensation right under my sternum slightly burny. It's no worse than that. I started my meds for it on Tuesday but I ate normally with it (including fried rashers and sausages yeswterday). It's no better. I had this ulcer before and the meds worked almost straight away and I made no other changes. This time it is more persistent. Now it didn't wake me up during the night but I have taken my medication this morning in the last hour, I have had a teaspoon of manuka honey and a cup of hot water with manuka. I'm not hungry because I've no appetite but I read that you shouldn't have an empty stomach. Therefore the manuka should help. I'm going to buy some natural yogurt and stick to that and vegetables today. I won't have any tea which I hadn't given up but I'm really afraid that I have done some permanent damage or this is more serious. I don't have any other symtoms or reflux. I feel gereally unwell but that is to do with TOTM.I wonder if that could be affecting my ulcer. I will NEVER have alcohol on a fast day again - its not worth it. The thoughts of my health maybe not being good over 2 glasses of wine kills me. I am raging with myself and I don't know how I came to be here. I don't know anyone else who has had an ulcer other than my OH who's medication worked almost straight away and his was caused by ibuprofen. I'm trying to stay calm but I'm a little paniced now.

Nothing I can do except see how I feel by Wednesday ( when I get paid and can afford to return to Doc). Although on the net it says you should get an anitbitioc with the nexium - so I don't have the antibiotic so maybe its as simple as that. I would say today could turn into an inadvertent fast day as no appetite but what of it.

Yesterday my fast day wasn't too difficult as had no appeptite really.

12pm ham (100)
1pm: bacon and sausages (400)
9pm: 5 teaspoons of pasta(100) & blue cheese (120)

About 650 so not the best fast day but was unprepared and afraid not to eat with acid in tummy. Carbs were grand at 18 and fat was under the daily goal to. I give the day a 5/10 as no weight loss, feel awful and freaking out
