Hey. I'm really struggling with stomach issues. My stomach is really bad. I have pain under my ribs on my right side and have had multiple bowel movements, particularly in the morning. Some times regular diarrhoea, sometimes soft stools in orange liquid (sorry).
This has been going on since Friday. I am really struggling to eat anything. Having to force myself to eat a banana for breakfast, soup for lunch. But tonight I could only manage 2 small mouthfuls of chicken. Last night I got through half a jacket potato before I had to stop.
I havent drunk any coffee or tea for well over a week. I havent had any dairy at all today. The pain under my ribs was slightly better today, until about 6pm, when it felt like my stomach was eating itself.
I had one ovary removed 6 weeks ago, and am having some peri symptoms.
I started on Sertraline 3 days ago.
I don't have a gallbladder any more. Or an appendix.
I was diagnosed with IBS 2 years ago. Cut all wheat out of my diet and have not had a major problem since.
Until now. Same symptoms, except the lack of appetite.
Am exhausted. And fed up with it all. Don't want to take codeine for the pain, even though I know it will help with the toilet issues too, because I've just started on the Setraline, and I don't want to mix things up.
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks.
