a raw stomach? from bacteria?
| Mon, 09-27-2004 - 9:19am |
Hi. I'm new here..I need some help! For the last few months I had bloating and pain in my stomach. I found out I was pregnant and blamed all the nauseousness on that. I came home from work one night and took the biggest b.m. that was really hard and soon after I felt really really dizzy. I also started bleeding vaginally earlier that day. I went to the ER and he said I was low on potassium, my cervix was dilated (miscarriage) and I had a UTI. At the ER I was having more b.m.s. Like 6 times in a few hours. The dr. wasn't interested in that. I had a low grade fever for a week and was on so many different antibiotics. Amoxiccilin for 3 days, then levaquin and metronadazole, and also had 3 rocephrin shots. All this in a week and a half.. Finally felt a little better. Had a yeast infection throughout my whole body (thrush and vaginally). Changed my diet and it seemed to dissappear. I went to a GI and had an endoscopy done. He said my stomach lining was like "raw meat" the bile was just sitting in my stomach. he said I might be suffering from IBS. Now this week I came down with a rotten cold and my bladder seems to not want to hold anything. I had a UA 2 days ago and yesterday and the bacteria was 1-3 range. I had taken one antibiotic pill and it made me have diarrhea and made my stomach feel nasty again! My dr. is doing a urine culture to see what bacteria it actually is. I have been on Aciphex and sucralfate for 2 1/2 weeks. The do seem to make me feel better. Is it really possible to grow a stomach lining back?! How long does it take? Am I on the right meds? Does this have anything to do with my bowels? I have to eat lots of fiber and it does help. My med makes me feel constipated...

Hi

I am keeping track of everything I eat. I drink at least 4 pints of water a day. thats not including the milk I drink with meals. Sometimes I feel so thirsty but othertimes not as much! I don't understand it. my tongue still feels like its burnt at the end...
You should have the colonoscopy.
