Ate and now tummy is not happy

What did you eat? You know you have had several victories over your fears, maybe your just not use to
having so much confidence, Try this, eat a couple of tums or rolaids, curl up on the couch and read a
book, you have had several days of stress even though you won, take a break, you deserve it! Peace.

Hey S25,

I will have to say that I can definitely relate to what you are going through. I have been going through all those things for a couple of months now. Every time that I eat, I feel totally sick for at least a couple of hours afterwards. From what you describe I would have to say that its most likely anxiety and maybe some reflux also because of anxiety. I have lost 10 pounds in the last months but I wanted to tell you that you are not alone. Have you gone through any tests at all regarding your stomach?

Best Regards,
John

S2S,

I would say that since you have ruled out anything organic...as in GI issues, and you take a PPI...that you are probably dealing with anxiety.

This is a common problem. Doing your coping skills and gaining more strides in recovery should help you to have relief from this. Exercises such as the ones found in the Resources (breathing and PMR will help bring down overall stress levels and lessen symptoms of anxiety)

It is a journey...try to be patient with yourself and the process.:)

Keep posting.

S.C.
