    Angry Symptoms of an ulcer or...?

    So this is kind of gross, but here it goes....

    For the past few weeks I have been having seriosu stomache problems... Every time I eat I have to go to the bathroom within 20 minutes, and it's never pleasant.

    It doesn't matter what I eat either.... Doc's said I probably have a stomache virus (yes I am going to go for a second opinion now) but I have never heard of a stomache virus that lasts 3 - 4 weeks! I'm constantly tired and I feel like my body is being drained, literally!! I wont eat past lunch time if I know I'm working that night because I don't want to get the shites at work...so I'm starving at work and have no energy....

    Blech!

    My theory.... Either my Birth control pills are really screwing with me, or I have an ulcer from all the stress these past few months or I got a bug. Yuck yuck yuck! I am hungry and tired of feeling like crap!!!!

    Here's a site on stomach ulcers



    Manybe it's just a bug. I'm having the exact same symptoms. Sometimes virus' last quite a while. Maybe try taking probiotics? They're supposed to aid in digestion and overall are very helpful to your body. I just started taking them yesterday, so we'll see.

    However, I also have IBS, am under tons of stress, and took some mag citrate this week for constipation, and ever since the mag citrate I've had this problem, so maybe my situation is different. My symptoms have only been going on for a week, so I dunno, I heard it takes a while for you GI tract to become normal again after Mag Citrate...

    Do you have abdominal pain after eating and during your BMs? Any blood in stools?

    Are you taking any different medicines or supplements? Antibiotics, dietary supplements (like Tonalin CLA)?

    ^^ I do have some cramping pain after eating, no blood though, not that I've noticed. This all started about four months ago, but has gottne drastically worse...and I starteed my pill four months ago, but I'm not sure the two are related. No dietary supps though.

    I'm making an appointment for after X-mas to go back to the doc.....
