Question

I am getting intermittent stomach pains cramps – I had it yesterday till I ate porridge then it went . I woke up early at 5.00 am with these pains again they are like pains that cramps that come every 10 seconds in like waves like clockwork…

So I woke up had a camomile and it was fine went back to sleep until 9.00 am . now I have the pains again i just got up they seem better after a very weak tea without water..

Should I eat breakfast tummy is making the noises..but I guess its best to starve for a few hours or maybe a bit of toast and peppermint tea…can anyone advise what this is and how to deal with it .,..I also have a cold

Answer 1

Feed a cold and starve a fever. You need to get into a habit of eating three meals per day, not grazing like a cow. Good Luck

Answer 2

Drink lots of filtered water, and eat a little porridge again. If you don't feel better in the next day or so, you should see a doctor.

Answer 3

I would suggest that you continue to eat small amounts of carbohydrates such as potaotes and pastas. Stick to bland food, nothing spicy and keep a little note as to how you react to it.

Obviously keep yourself Hydrated and if you need to take painkillers avoid asprin. It may just be a stomach virus or it could be a gastric ulcer - often people report reduced symptoms when they have food in their stomach. If you take asprin it COULD make things a little worse.

If your symptoms persist ina few days or if they start to get worse - see your GP

Answer 4

Your stomach is cramping because you are hungry, stop drinking funny flavoured teas and eat something to fill you up.
