tummy bug

[cazmic6]

I've got a bad tummy bug and was wondering if it would be ok to starve myself for today im only 5 weeks post op but I've had this bug since Thursday and my tummy is killing me I need to get rid can't get in the drs so just wondered if anyone had any advice x

Stick to fluids until you find out what it is. I've had tummy problems for 5 weeks now. My gp and dietician advised me to stick to fluids until I had a stool sample tested and had the results.

stick to fluids and see if someone can get some dioralyte from boots/tesco etc to keep your salts in balance.

good luck! xxx

I have hun they can't fit me in but I told her what was wrong and she said as long as I wasn't being sick and I could drink and eat abit she wasn't sure what's wrong and just told me to keep my fluids up and try to eat more often and give her a ring next week to c how I am x

Are you drinking enough? remember because we don't absorb water from food like we use to that we can dehydrate easier. I've had 2 stomach bugs since my bypass, I used dioralyte. It really helps. Nothing helps the pain but keeping hydrated is the most important thing and if in doubt ring you providers emergency line and if they have't got one got to a and e if you feel really bad. I know most people wouldn't be keen at that idea but we really need to be careful when it comes to this sort of thing, not many, even doctors understand that we don't hydrate the same way we use too, especially in the beginning.
