Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
Ulcers can be caused by a virus but not always. So if you have decent insurance have it investigated because you can get a serious bleed from one. They will also take biopsies of the stomach lining to rule out stomach cancer.
Once the acid is under control you should be able to eat most things and turkey should not be off the menu by the 25th. In the meantime stick to bland foods like yogurt cottage cheese tender white meat and mashed potatoes and eggs. Bananas should be OK too and plain sugar cookies. Sit upright for at least an hour after eating and don't bend over. Raise the head of your bed or sleep in a recliner and eat frequent small meals .This is fixable.
The other thing you could have is a hiatus hernia which is when a piece of gut pushes up into the stomach through the diaphragm and the stomach acid inflames it. Again very fixable with same day surgery, minimally invasive and fast recovery
See.........there is always a plus side. :)
I guess we were all a bunch of babies at heart.
Send, in answer to your question about snack ideas. Hmmmm......can't think of anymore offhand. I'm a funny eater though. I've never eaten the way most people do. I could probably live on soup and salads with the occasional bag of chips and chocolate bar thrown in for good measure.
Speaking of eating, has anyone on here ever had an ulcer and if so, what are the symptoms? Cause I have been having tummy problems as of late.
My PCP a fairly new mother said she tasted the baby food and almost spat it out.
I am going to let someone else expose the truth about nightshade plants-I don't want to be shamed, lol Ali.
Roasted in an oven, smothered with mozzarella and tomato sauce, it was yummy. Shame on your friends for ruining that for you. ;)
Do you like baby food in jars?
Even if they say they don't want it, or don't like it........somehow, contemplation of a childhood eating applesauce kicks in, and they eat it all! Surprised me! I don't argue, don't try to convince them, just lay the stuff out. Have had small successes doing this.
I got some vanilla activia and tell her it's pudding and give her a cookie with it - she hates yogurt but can't refuse pudding
While walking, there could be a little neck support pillow under your arm, supporting your arm out just a little from your body, thereby decreasing the stress on your shoulder and neck. I hated to wear a sling, but had to do that sometimes.
Anything that helps, and is the opposite of your body curling up, tightening up, or going into a fetal position from the pain. Think, open arms, to receive a hug!
My shoulder and mid-arm hurt so much after a fall and broken clavicle, that I decided to open up the shoulder joint by placing a pillow under my arm
