I've got gut rot today, it started yesterday and I didn't sleep well last night because of it. I don't know why I have it. It's just severe abdominal pain. It's making me pretty uncomfortable, woke me up last night. I was afraid to take tylenol for my headache but after I did, it wasn't any worse and I was finally able to go back to sleep. It feels like it's starting just below my sternum. I did take some rolaids but they only seem to be slightly working. I really want to curl up in my bed and go back to sleep but I've got to work. If it was any other day, I would be calling in sick because I'm in that much pain. I'm not good with chronic pain.

I think I'll take some more tylenol. and patiently wait for the time to tick by...4 o'clock can't come soon enough!

do you know what you ate?

Nothing that I would connect to this, generally I've got a pretty good stomach.

Go to the doctor. That sounds like it could be gallstones. Probably not an emergency, but it's something you should get checked out.

Gosh, I could have sworn that I responded to this....

Can't be gallstones, the beloved (not) gallbladder came out a year after the boy was born. I could have sworn I was in labor, it was worst than childbirth!

Somewhere in the back of my mind I remembered this from back when I had surgery... I've heard of people having pains similar to gallstones after they've been removed, but since it's been so long, I doubt it's in any way related. I hope you're feeling better now!

yeah, thankfully I am! GRIN

Wow! that sounds serious! I hope you feel better soon. Is there a place where you could go for some accupuncture. If for nothing else accupuncture helps stomach ailments. I swear by that! Take care!

I could have sworn I responded to this...unfortunately, there's no accupuncturist in my area. If I did have chronic pain though, I'd be willing to try ANYTHING.

I had thought you were in the Twin Cities area. The American Academy of Accupuncture and Oriental Medince and they have 5 clinics there.
http://www.aaaom.edu/ They all are called TCM Heath Centers. http://www.acupuncturemn.com/
Here is a referal page for your area if you are not near any of those clinics. Schools of things such as this charge less...

Good luck!

Actually, I'm about 30 miles or more from any of these...
