Is it just stress?

[mmpoindexter]

Okay, I am about tired of not being able to eat anything. My stomach hurts almost all the time. I am nauseated (I think I spelled it right) all the time and I well, I spend a lot of time in the bathroom . I am under a little stress now-who isn't? And I wonder-should I go to the doctor?

Hi mmpoindexter,

The symptoms you describe could be so many things, such as IBS or other bowel conditions, a virus, or negative side affects to a medication you are on.

No one really likes to be told the obvious, but it is probably wise that you swing by your GP's and get a pro opinion on what could be going on.

Take care,

I would head to your doctor. I had the same problem and finally couldn't stand it anymore and went to my doctor. It was found that I had IBS and acid reflux (I always had terrible heartburn at night-even hours after eating or not eating anything spicy). I wasn't too surprised b/c both IBS and acid reflux "run" in my family and several of them suffer from it. I now take Zelnorm (2x a day) and Aciphex (1x a day) and have found relief. Your doctor may send you to a gastrologist too, which may not be a bad idea.
Good luck!

I 2nd the others go see your GP and get the appropriate tests done. I have IBS, but I must say that stress does really turn my system for a loop. A visit w/ your GP and addressing the stress in your life should set you on the right path.
