How can I cure dijestion issues and bloating in stomach?

[Ash600]

I have dijestion issues and I was given sulfacrate it dissolves in water and is purple and I notice when I drink it my stomach starts to feel hungry but before that I am bloated a lot after I eat but after I take it I get instantly hungry. How come? I eat anything and confused why I have dijestion issues. It sucks I notice light foods go well for me like eggs avacado tea light things are only things that make me feel fine.

But what can I do to gain weight? I can’t even be 100 lbs I’m stuck at 86

[MORPHEUS_12]

Sucralfate is an antacid used to treat ulcers. Likely the reason you feel hungry after taking Sucralfate is because it is breaking up those gas bubbles in you stomach. When you are bloated or gassed up you don't feel hungry. There could be a hundred and one reasons for your symptoms. You could have Celiacs disease or lactose intolerance. Not sure if you are being followed by a gastrointestinal doctor or whether you are self medicating with the Sucralfate because that doesn't require a prescription.

[Ash600]

the doctor told me to continue to take it, they gave it to me last year and I forgot to take it but since today am taking it 3x a day, they told me in past oh its only to eat better but never explained exactly what it was, I'm underweight and no wonder im not hungry so annoying I hope I can be cured soon

[Ash600]

I eat anything and don't know what makes me sick or not no doctor tells me I am lactose intolerant or anything so I dontknow

[Ash600]

doctor wants me to take endoscopy

[Ash600]

now I'm starving and need to use restroom, ill eat dinner in a bit

[MORPHEUS_12]

I agree with your doctor. I think it's wise to have an endoscopy done. I had one done a couple of months ago and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. You could have esophageal strictures where your esophagus starts to narrow. It's usually called by acid reflux.

[Ash600]

Is that bad

[Ash600]

I wana be healthy again and don’t want ulcer I’m scared

[Ash600]

I’m eating warm soup and have cramps from period and tired 😞

[Ash600]

It was 1 second pain I randomly got , happend to me before on period and from birth control shot

[Ash600]

Can u pm
Me?

[Anonymous]

You should consider getting a gastric emptying test done. You might feel that way cause your stomach digests food too slow.

[Ash600]

yea like all day I feel bloated but have that medicine to treat ulcers too and supposed to help eat need to take it 4x a day daily I had been lagging and forgetting

[Ash600]

whats gastric emptying test

[Ash600]

they wanna do endoscopy

[Ash600]

thats also one reason I'm not hungry much as I feel bloated n I'm underweight I can't gain

[Opinion Owner]

Gastric emptying test is where you eat some oatmeal with a tiny bit of radioactive material in it. They then do a scan every 30 minutes for about 2 hours to watch how fast your stomach digests food.

I had an endoscopy done before, it's not bad. Probably good to get one done if you have ulcers

[Ash600]

are ulcers bad im scared

[Opinion Owner]

They can be quite painful. But you said you were on medicine for them, so you're already getting treated and should be okay

[Ash600]

I read the sulfracte medicine I take is to treat ulcers and nurse said to continue to take it

[Ash600]

I'm scared to be put to sleep for the endoscopy

[Opinion Owner]

I've been under anesthesia many times, being put to sleep for it really isn't that bad. I think you can have it done awake and they'll just numb your throat instead

[Ash600]

But to have throat numb will feel I can’t breathe

[Ash600]

How does it feel to be put to sleep

[Opinion Owner]

It feels fine. You're staring at the ceiling, then you suddenly and peacefully fall asleep, then it feels like only a second has passed when you wake up in recovery.

[Ash600]

imscared I hope I don't have serious ulcer n can be gone

[Opinion Owner]

You'll be okay, ulcers can be treated

[Ash600]

I hav little pains but not sure If it’s from my period as Iv been cramping since started period 2 days ago or if it’s the ulcer or if it’s my birth control. Shot

[Opinion Owner]

Where's the pain located? Ulcers usually cause pain in the upper stomach or chest, period pain is lower down.

[Ash600]

Lower left or right side I hav tiny pains

[Ash600]

Cramps lower stomach and feels like it’s twisting in middle of stomach happens in all periods before same feeling

[Ash600]

I never got pain in chest jsut once heartburn

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, that sounds like period cramps. Use a heating pad. If you don't have pain in your upper stomach or chest, I wouldn't suspect you have an ulcer, it just sounds like your stomach digests food slowly. But I'm not a doctor so I can't diagnose

[Ash600]

It’s my second day of taking the sulfractae and feel better like not bloated but I don’t wana over eat as I got sick just don’t know how I’ll gain weight I’m immune to all food

[Vickykick]

Watch out. It could be an infection too. Best is to go visit doc. Are you stressed too?

[Ash600]

they said it can be hplori or ulcer but the sufrcte medicine I realized is to cure ulcer

[Vickykick]

Don't over indulge if you feel hungry. This will pass soon, hopefully you'll be back to good old days.

[Ash600]

why can I not over indulge

[Vickykick]

Because it is a temporary feeling with gases and acid neutralised which was the whole point to begin with. Give it some rest for ulcer to get cured.

[Ash600]

oh yea I get full and overage 2 days got very sick

[Ash600]

hope its not serious and sulfracrate work good

[Ash600]

I got medicine June 2017 but just now taking it as I would forget n not really know what is was doctors only said to eat better

[Vickykick]

Take care of yourselves. And please stop gassing. Ewe

[Ash600]

do u think ill get better worry

[Vickykick]

Yes i do. You'd be surprised this isn't uncommon. Just listen to your doc.

[Ash600]

I'm scared it'll be serious

[Vickykick]

Come here. Let me calm you down! 😄

[Ash600]

U message me please

[Vickykick]

Follow me!

[Ash600]

Just did..

[Nuremberg45]

I hear a kosher diet helps a lot, along with a swig of wine every so often

[Ash600]

Why kosher diet

[Nuremberg45]

What I understand it's just around about healthier lifestyle, you're not eating a bunch of yeast it eliminates pork it eliminates shellfish and a lot of stuff that people are typically allergic to

[Ash600]

I hav a roommate and he eats kosher food but I don’t like it just hummus. My mom likes kosher food but not me

[thechesseman]

Sleep on your stomach to help the muscles with digestion.

[Ash600]

I’m scared I don’t want ulcer

[thechesseman]

Then stop being scared. That's why you get ulcers.

[Ash600]

I don’t even know y u get ulcers for? What causes ulcers

[thechesseman]

Worrying about stuff.

[thechesseman]

Don't be scared.

[Ash600]

I hav pains on stomach cuz I’m on period And not hungry to eat my soup I ate little bit but sleepy

[thechesseman]

You'll be ok. Wait tell your stomach stops hurting to sleep on it.

[Ash600]

I’m sad

[Ash600]

Can we talk for bit please

[thechesseman]

That's how you get ulcers. Smile😘

[Ash600]

I thought it happened from acid reflux

[Ash600]

I won’t even know In some days. If I have that or not they also mentioned hplori

[thechesseman]

Being sad too. Hplori is bad bacteria. Being sad makes it easier for bad bacteria.

[Ash600]

Can hplori be cured

[Ash600]

My mom has it

[Ash600]

Can u pm me it’s something private

[thechesseman]

Let me check real quick.

[Ash600]

Check what

[thechesseman]

Yes. Eat vegetables. Hplori eats meat. If you starve it by eating vegetables your body can kill it. Spinach is good. No butter. Garlic is good. When you eat meat, eat live bacteria yogurt. Australian guy has very good science on it.

[Ash600]

I only eat meat in burgers , does spinach shakes count? Is hplori curable and serious?

[Ash600]

WhAt is life yogurt I just have activia yogurt

[thechesseman]

Activia yogurt is good. It's live bacteria yogurt. I don't know how serious your hplori is. Spinach shakes are good too.

[thechesseman]

It is curable.

[Ash600]

I read both of hplori and ulcer are cured with 1-2 antibiotics

[Ash600]

That’s relieving but still scaring me

[thechesseman]

You gotta eat lots of yogurt while you take antibiotics and after you finish too.

[Ash600]

I don’t hav medicine yet they still need to see test blood results it’s not for sure

[Ash600]

Inhav a pack of activia like one. a day is that fine? I get paid til Friday how much is A lot

[Ash600]

I just hav the sulfractate medicine I need take it 3x a day daily to help dijestion and cures ulcers too

[thechesseman]

1 a day with medicine. 3 a day after medicine.

[Ash600]

But r u talking of the medicine I’m talking or the antibiotics they might give me if I do get the results from blood saying I do hav that?

[thechesseman]

The antibiotics you have a 95% chance of getting.

[Ash600]

I mean they still aren’t sure if I hav that or not need to wait n see

[thechesseman]

Australian scientist proved if you have ulcers hplori is responsible 95% of the time. He was a smart guy.

[Ash600]

But how did I get bacteria and ulcer? Just from stress? Parents fight n I get stressed n told them last week I wish I was married like brother as he doesn’t hav to suffer this it’s not fair

[Ash600]

I just ate my yogurt I feeel good actually

[Ash600]

Shud I sit up since I ate the yogurt or lay in bed?

[thechesseman]

Whatever is comfortable. Stress makes your body weak. That's when the bacteria attacked. You gotta rest and not worry. When you worry your body can't heal. Don't worry be happy☺

[Ash600]

Ok ☺️ I hav little pains but not sure if it’s cuz period or ulcer.. what do u think? Got cramp this morning 😞

[thechesseman]

Don't know. Never had a period.

[Ash600]

I took medicine 2nd time one hour after I ate and feel nothing lol but I took it 8:30 am and then ate breakfast 9am and started getting hungry in stomach and rumbling

[Ash600]

How come I don’t feel anything now?

[Ash600]

I’m like full and have fat belly while whole body is skinny , I get bloated on period too by the way

[Ash600]

And I’m on birth control shot

[thechesseman]

The hplori causes lots of bloating. The food isn't going through you fast enough. The hplori is hurting your intestines so they can't process your food. After the hplori is cured, you may need to go on a liquid food diet for a week or two with laxatives. Talk to your doctor about how to clean out your intestines. There's food stuck in there because your intestines got hurt by the hplori.

[Ash600]

Cuz In morning I felt fine and felt stomach hungry and not bloated but this time took medicine after I ate and feel bloated maybe I took medicine wrong.. I can’t see my doctor til one month so I’m confused what to do. I won’t get blood results in some days I’m waiting.

[Ash600]

Iv been on liquid diets before wen I cudnt eat solid food. Just maybe will need wait one week til I get blood results. But I don’t hav upper stomach pain nor drink or smoke so maybe only hav hplori my mom has it

[Ash600]

Ok now finally and feeling the medicine taking effect and feel hungry , and got random pain like poke pain on right side of stomach but maybe due to period and birthcontrol shot , I get pain everywhere wen I’m on period 😞😞😞

[thechesseman]

You seem worried again. I hope to see you smile once.☺

[Ash600]

Yea but think I don’t hav ulcer honestly 😛😃

[Ash600]

I’m talking with my boyfriend so I’m happy

[Ash600]

I’m craving warm cookies now wish I had some

[thechesseman]

I too love milk and warm cookies.

[Ash600]

I haven’t eaten cookies long time as 2017 I got bad anxiety attacks daily nonstop and then that messed up my swallowing and had to eat soup all day so barely now I can eat so so, but Ik there’s a mall where they sell warm cookies , I can eat warm stuff slow and chew a lot but not hard stuff

[Ash600]

I need to eat my soup for dinner and a shake but I feel full and usually I eat always in this time, and I need to take my medicine 6 hours before dinner , I’m stuck , can’t take my emergency vitamin drink either need wait 2 hours after I take sulfacrste

[thechesseman]

Just sip a little on your soup while you wait.

[Ash600]

I need to take my medicine but think it’s 6 hours I need wait lol I’ll be asleep

[thechesseman]

I just woke up a couple hours ago. I'll be working on my science stuff soon. Might go to the bar for a drink afterwards.

[Ash600]

My moms saying I have cancer now as my hair falls a lot

[thechesseman]

I hope not. Hair falling out is from cancer treatment not cancer. You have vitamin problems from the hplori. When that's cured your hair should grow back.

[Ash600]

I hav vitmeins here but since I took sulfracrate I need wait 2 hours

[thechesseman]

Yep. The vitamins will make your medicine not work if you take them now.

[Ash600]

I took medicine at 3 and it’s 6:30 but I want to eat my soup at 7 but need take medicine before I eat 😑 so annoying

[Ash600]

I’ll call pharmacist to ask wen I tske my medicine

[Ash600]

It’s like a powder vitmamin thing

[thechesseman]

That will help your hair.

[Ash600]

Yea. But I’m confused if I can take it now or not cuz I also want to eat my soup and take meal supplemt drink

[Ash600]

But then I don't know what time I take my 3rd sulfracrate medcine

[Ash600]

Also my hair extensions r old and dry and thin too lol need new ones

[thechesseman]

Take the vitamins now then start eating your soup. Take the meal supplement before you take your sulfracrate.

[Ash600]

I think they said I can take shake 2 hours after my sulfracrate

[Ash600]

I’m so sleepy I hav eye bags lol

[Ash600]

I thought u can’t take vitenim together with meal supplement shake? Cuz both hav vitamins and a lot protien...

[thechesseman]

No you can take those together.

[Ash600]

But isn’t that like too much vitamins? Too much protien?

[Ash600]

I’m confused as 6 hours will be til 9 but want to eat soup now

[Ash600]

So I’ll take sulfracrate at 9? But they said wait 2 hours to take it if I take the shake or emergency powder vitamin.. I’m confused

[Ash600]

I just drank the vitamin it was cherry flavored so good but I’m sleepy I work 9 hours 😞

[thechesseman]

Take your sulfracrate just before sleep. What do you do for work?

[Ash600]

It’s for families business I just pack and do computer work , but standing all day packing they sell fabric curtains table cloths

[Ash600]

I can’t even gain to 90 I’m stuck at 86 all the time I go to doctor , so weird...

[Ash600]

They just say to eat more but I don’t gain a pound they said I don’t have tapeworm n laughed

[thechesseman]

They're right it's probably hplori. The antibiotics will help.

[Ash600]

Once I’m cured I’ll gain weight then?

[Ash600]

I eat junk food in bed and nothing

[Ash600]

I’ll take meal supplemt shake tomorow instead cuz I read it’s not best to take them together as it also contains a lot of vitamins

[Ash600]

I’ll just make a warm Mexican drink called atole it has a lot of calories and sweet u make it with milk

[thechesseman]

When you cure the hplori you will gain weight right away. You'll have to do something to help your intestines get stronger. Probably eat on schedule. Make sure you eat the yogurt when you're about to run out of antibiotics and keep doing it for a month.

[Ash600]

I eat a yogurt daily and eat every hour or every 2 hours like small portions

[Ash600]

No wonder I stayed so skinny I ate so much junk food and nkthing

[Ash600]

What else has live probiotics that i can also eat or drink?

[thechesseman]

Pills. Not sure what else.

[Ash600]

There’s a kombucha drink never tried it

[Ash600]

I feel so good now like my stomach has no pains nothing at all but my eyes hurt and feel tired

[thechesseman]

Make sure to take your medicine before you go to sleep.

[Ash600]

Yea like 10 I’ll take it

[Ash600]

I hear rumbling in my stomach

[Ash600]

But I feel calm and drinking that sweet warm drink I made

[Ash600]

No wonder I tried so hard to gain weight this month and it is due to hplori I can’t even gain one pound I knew something wasn’t right

[Ash600]

I want hot healthy body n be healthy

[Ash600]

My roommate is sick n I’m surprised I haven’t gotten sick one year

[Ash600]

Now Im getting super full with the drink it’s a thick drink and I’m bloated

[Ash600]

Kinda feel acid in throat getting flem

[thechesseman]

Wait a little to eat more.

[Ash600]

It’s a drink not food

[Ash600]

Already ate my soup

[Ash600]

Hav headache

[Ash600]

My boyfriend fell asleep so I’m sad I miss him

[thechesseman]

Then take your medicine and go to sleep for work. You need your rest.

[Ash600]

I don’t work tomorow

[Ash600]

20 min left to take it, y I need wait 6 hours? So annoying

[thechesseman]

So the sulfur doesn't bond to the vitamins. That will cause a vitamin deficiency. Probably what's wrong with your hair.

[Ash600]

I want my hair normal soon. I always had thin hair but now flat n thinner

[Ash600]

I don’t wana be bald either

[thechesseman]

You're probably low on vitamin e.

[Ash600]

What has vitamin e? I drink a lot of orange juice. I’m low on potassium too

[Ash600]

Eat bananas and sweet potatoes soemtimes but do like it

[Ash600]

I burned my hand now

[Ash600]

I put a mug I had in microwave and had silver print on it and the silver is like metallic I don't know not good for muscle wave and I touched the handle and burned myself I have red spot on palm and put cold water and lotion

[thechesseman]

Don't burn yourself. Potassium helps absorb vitamin e among other things. Bananas are good. I can't remember anything else off the top of my head.

[Ash600]

I need eat one banana a day then? I like it with penut butter as a snack

[Ash600]

But I don’t eat it often

[Ash600]

I eat the same things I need to change it up

[Ash600]

But I don’t get y h pylori makes u get thin hair and not gain weight?

[Ash600]

Mom said she used to have. Hpylori and ulcer

[Ash600]

With medicine it got treated and no more bloating

[thechesseman]

She's not as much of a worrier as you. Since she worries less she heals faster.

[Ash600]

She got it wen she was young

[Ash600]

Stressed cuz she had bad husband

[Ash600]

My hand is in pain from burn

[thechesseman]

Ice will help.

[Ash600]

I feel great after medicine

[Ash600]

Drank little more of the hot drink I had and bloated

[Ash600]

Has a lot of sugar and thick high calorie drink , it’s so good have u tried it atole?

[Ash600]

My belly is bloated but my body is skinny n still 86 lol my stomach looks fat but I have no fat on body

[Ash600]

I was in bed all day eating enjoying my day off

[thechesseman]

Maybe. I've drank so many things I'd never be able to remember them all.

[Ash600]

Now I can’t drink protien shakes as I used to drink one daily but since a week now been full at night. Usually I drink it fast but my stomach is like fat

[Ash600]

I sit and my stomach has double chins but I’m skinny... so weird

[thechesseman]

That's because your food isn't going through you.

[Ash600]

I’m hope I can get my medicine soon to cure this and gain weight

[Ash600]

It’s weekend so I’ll get test results Thursday maybe

[Ash600]

But sulfracrate is suposed to cure u I read in 1-2 months

[Ash600]

Hey omg I got random strrong pain

[Ash600]

Right side of stomach is it from period?

[Ash600]

It’s not ulcer right...

[thechesseman]

Sounds like an ulcer.

[Ash600]

I get that pain only wen I’m on period , I got foot pain then boob pain , think it’s from period.

[Ash600]

Now I drank vitamin drink & got acid 😤

[Ash600]

Also didn’t feel hungry today but did eat normally.

[Ash600]

I rarely get pain tho. I don’t get painful stomach feeling. I jsut get bad cramps and pains wen I’m on period and I’m on period now. Only thing I get is bloated and discomfort in stomach. Don’t think I have ulcer

[thechesseman]

You probably do. Doctors are usually right.

[Ash600]

I ate half of my meat soup for dinner but full ☹️

[Ash600]

Feel hopeless that I’ll never gain

[Ash600]

I feel stomach normal & good now

[thechesseman]

Probably because you took your vitamins yesterday. I gotta go shovel snow for my aunt. I'll be about an hour.

[Ash600]

I took vitamins today but ate little bit for dinner n feel stressed

[Ash600]

Feel I’m not healthy I’m only 86 lbs

[Ash600]

Stomach has discomfort now left side

[thechesseman]

It'll be better after the blood tests come back. Ulcers hurt and make you loose weight.

[Ash600]

But I feel no pain

[Ash600]

I’m just stuck at the same weight not losing...

[thechesseman]

At 82lb most of your weight is bone and you can't loose it.

[Ash600]

I’m 86 not 82..

[Ash600]

I have little fat on my arms n legs so I’m not that skinny

[Ash600]

Drank shake and I’m super super bloated

[Ash600]

I used to drink 2 shakes a day but now can’t ☹️ I wana. Drink papaya smoothie tomorow in the bus going to work

[thechesseman]

Can't wait for your blood test results. That will really help you get better.

[Ash600]

Right , my stomach is insane rn. O feel the shake stuck there n need wait til 1am for last medicine

[Ash600]

But hav work tomorow

[Ash600]

Maybe I’ll skip it only for today n sleep

[thechesseman]

I hope you feel better. Nothing good comes easy. Keep at it and you'll be better. It's a long journey but good health is worth it.

[Ash600]

I love those shakes but not sure if they really help maintain weight or not

[Ash600]

I wana start drinking 2 per day on next check I’ll buy more

[Ash600]

I drank water n that helped bloating

[thechesseman]

Tap or bottled? Water does help your intestines.

[Ash600]

Like bottle from gallon

[Ash600]

Is it ok if I skip last medicine today? Only took it 2x as I took it late n need to sleep for job

[Ash600]

I truly worry I can’t stay this same weight I’m too thin

[Ash600]

Doctors said it’s cuz I’m. Not eating a lot 😑😑😑 y can’t they say it’s from hpylori

[thechesseman]

I'll check.

[Ash600]

Check what? I can’t be 86 forever food disappears I’m telling u I only get belly !

[thechesseman]

Take it just before you go to sleep. The closer to food you take it the less it will work but you should still take it before you go to sleep. They can't say it's from hplori because it's only probable, not definitely hplori. The blood test will confirm.

[Ash600]

I’m hopeless as I can’t gain I need to be 90 I need more meat 🥺😥😥😥😤😤😤

[Ash600]

No cuz I still not done drinking shake

[Ash600]

Need to wait 2 hours. Is it effective if I take it before I eat or after?

[Ash600]

6 hour waiting is too long as I will hav certain lunch breaks at work tomorow and can’t take it spot on before I eat.

[Ash600]

Rather take it tomorow early morning b4 I eat Breakfeast at 5:30 then head to work 6:30 take bus , I get lunch at 1-2pm , I can take it 3x tomorow correctly

[Ash600]

I’m super full now it feels so bad.

[Ash600]

2 weeks ago the shakes glide down easy now I can’t eat much

[thechesseman]

You really need those antibiotics. They may need to start an Iv sucrose drip to get you through this.

[Ash600]

What’s Iv drip?

[Ash600]

The blood tests will take maybe 1-4 days ughh cuz I went fridsy weekend doesn’t count

[thechesseman]

It's food they put in your blood if your intestines get worse. Hopefully it won't get that bad.

[Ash600]

How many more days til I get results n my medicine 😞

[Ash600]

Now I feel ok but will sleep
