Stomach Upsets

[LuvPeckham]

Strangest discussion I have started (I think) but I am looking for confirmation of any 'lurgy' going around at the moment

I (and a couple of my friends) have suffered all over the weekend with increased flactulance, loose movements (stomach not limbs) all proceeded by 2 days of tight stomaches (feeling full and like a drum) in the middle of last week.

Now I could go to my Doctor, but it appears to be mild and not serious enough to worry about, but I am curious to know if there is anything going around 'gastric' wise at the moment...

Is anyone else (or recently has) suffering from similar symptons or is this a strangely unique thing to me and my friends (for reference none of us ate or drank the same things last week at all)

Curious of Peckham borders

surely bathroom material, let alone lounge!

[LuvPeckham]

It is a General ED question as I am looking to see if it is a local issue or isolated cases

[Ant]

Summat in the water, you mean?

No such symptoms reported in Ant Towers.

[SteveT]

Yes LuvPeckham it describes the symptoms I have suffered with over the weekend.

Today I spent most of the day drinking water, and have had a couple of plums off the tree.

I feel less distended but still rather sensitive around the gut.

I hope we improve, soonest.

There has been a lot of gatroenteritis in East Dulwich, drink plenty of water and Live yoghurt, for the friendly bacteria to help restore gut health

[buggie]

... there's always tummy bugs going round - then again I could be slightly skewed as I'm in A&E!!

[SteveT]

Good idea thanks monica

Yeah, I have to say I have been feeling somewhat ropey, today mainly.

And the weirdest thing was I read my horoscope and it actually said I would have "eliminatary" problems this week!

Now I know you may think I'm being sarcastic and taking the Schmichael, but I promise I am serious. It stuck in my head, because I was reading and I thought, what a bloody strange thing to put in a horoscope? And it told me to drink lots and lots of water!?! Doesn't Septic Peg and her ilk usually stick to money, love and luck. I don't really even take much notice... yet it seems to have come true.

Maybe the astrologist is a resident EDF-er :))

Was it you Monica? ;-):))

[monica]

mm no lol but hey im one for horoscopes anyway

[Asset]

there will have to be a survey now to see which star sign are the afflicted.

[monica]

Well we have had a full moon recently and

[monica]

Well we have had a full moon recently and that could bring up all manner of conditions

[Moos]

I completely agree! My hands have got terribly hairy, and it's taking me ages to brush my teeth in the morning.

;-):))

[Ant]

Stay off the turpentine, Moos, and that'll clear up in no time.

[Moos]

Hic!

what?

LuvPeckham - that describes how I have felt for the past couple of days to the tee. I have been a bit stressed so put the distended stomach (looks like I am about 7 months pregnant) down to that - but 'movements' I've had are exactly as described, and hot water bottle was needed yesterday.

I will go out now and get some live yoghurt to see if that helps.

[GemmaT]

I have had exactly the same symptoms last week and all over the weekend - my stomach is still so swollen. I also wondered about going to the doctors as I have now had it for 5 days - think I will wait another few days and see if it gets any better. Whatever it is its not nice!

Hope you all get better soon! x

[LuvPeckham]

I feel better today, although as I was due to go to a food production factory for the day, I decided that it was better to postpone that meeting and took the day off to rest

Have also discoverd that Home made (thick) lentil and bacon soup seems to have helped (is a bizare way) as does staying away from yeast products for 24 hours (bread...)

It seems to last between 5 and 7 days and when the bloating goes down (I was 12 months pregenant I fear) you actually will feel slightly lighter

Hope everyone who has this feels better soon and no one else gets it as it is a (wait for the pun) Pain in the rear !!!

I find this one and the thread about the man leaving a 'deposit' in the front garden of a new EDFer a disturbing trend.

I sincerely hope there's no connection between the two.

Honestly it's all bottoms with you people.

[nunheadbelle]

Is one of the symptoms a tendency to stop and restart sentences? :)

Or even lavatory or toilet material.

Depending on whether you apply tissue, paper or of course in the lounge (or sitting/drawing room) the labrador puppy.

Tummy bug not only in ED... ::o it's spread into the foreign regions of Catford and Bellingham... so I've heard :-|

[Cassius]

I've heard reports of similar in Croydon.......

[VeryBerryCherry]

Has anyone else been vomiting with this bug?

I blame the kids, they go on school holidays and give it to their parents, who then give to their work-collegues. At least when term starts they'll just pass it on to one another.

I've said t before on the other thread, spending to much time with kids is never a good idea. >:D<
