Please Help Us Figure Out What Might Be Happening. Posted: 09-20-06 20:18pm
I'm not sure if i'm posting in the right
forum (this is my first post here), but my
fiance is experiencing some rather bizarre
stomach upset, and we have no idea what
might be causing it.
A few weeks ago, he ate a personal sized
sausage pizza (unhealthy, I know, but it's
something he'd eaten many times before and
had no problem with), and was then hit
with severe stomach pain, nausea, and
eventaully vomited three times. The next
day, he felt fine, and everything returned
to normal. Then, last nite, after eating
a full plate of butter and garlic pasta,
he was hit with intense nausea (though,
there was no pain this time) which lasted
several hours. He was finally able to
fall asleep, and woke up to day feeling
sick to his stomach. He ate a bowl of
cereal, took a walk, had some tea, and
still, he says he feels his body is
determined to vomit today.
We thought perhaps it might be a stomach
virus, but he hasn't vomited, is
experiencing no diarrhea (sp?), achiness,
or weakness. He has a very low-grade
fever (99.3). The fact that something
similar to this happened just a couple of
weeks ago is what's worrying me the most.
Could it be fatigue or nerves? Does it
sound viral? We're very confused, and
have no insurance, so we'd like to be
certain its necessary before we go to a
doctor.
Any ideas? Please help!

Hi there and welcome!
Your fiance could be having several
different things going on. A virus
and/or the flu may be one thing, your
guess on nerves could be another. What
kind of caught my attention is that both
of the meals he had eaten (noodles and
pizza) sounds and are very greasy..So, he
could be in the beginnings of gallbladder
problems as well?! If it is his
gallbladder, watch for dark (black or
green) stools and pain in the upper
abdomine. (just under the rib cage and
to the right) this is where the
gallbladder is located. It is hidden
just partially under the liver as well.
Greasy foods will definetly cause him a
problem if it is that. I would do some
searches on google, type in his symptoms
and see what kind of "hits" you get. If
this persists, he should definetly see a
doctor! Hope this helps and good luck.

I was thinking gallbladder, too... Best
of luck to him (and you).
