tummy ache

[zns]

:cry:ive got awful tummy ache today after drinking some squash. Do you think its wind maybe? I can try something for wind but wasnt 100% sure.

I found gripe water helped immensley with me (and plenty of movement), Ppl tried and found that other remedies/tips for them worked, each to their own , hope u feel better soon xx

Thank you, I have some of that so will take some, just was feeling a bit indecisive lol x

How are you feeling now Zoe? I hope it's settled?

i think your ok with most indigestion remedies zoe, and definately things that youd give a baby, i know deflatin is ok to take too, and thats great for trapped wind. so id give that a try, phatmomma swears by deflatin.

Thank you guys, had some gripe water did a huge burp and feel much better lol xx

Oh good, I was getting a bit concerned. Big hugs. I find a warm bath helps me with tummy ache these days too. xxxx

Unfortunately with my mobility issues I cant get in and out of the bath, I can shower but only with help and use of a seat from the OT :cry:

Im fine now though x

I personally found deflatine useless...infacol or gripewater is good, peppermint tea or even small sips of warm water is quite soothing. I still find occasionally I drink too fast, especially squash and then get a really peculiar feekling in my pouch, followed by lots of gurgling then eventually a big burp which usually clears it!

I find that when I get thirsty at night and try to drink, even sips, my pouch hates it and gets very sore and cross. maybe because I'm drinking lying down.

I think you are totally right Charis, that's when mine complains the most & it's when I'm laying down too!

maybe we just need to sit up to drink! I use a sippy cup so its not wind.
Does your pouch go hard Angie? Mine feels a bit like its going into spasm. Its horrible.

Hmmm....that's a really good way of describing it...I'm going to pay attention next time (probably tonight!!!) and try to think about how it feels....it is such a weird sensation! Totally my own fault though, I forget and still try to gulp down fluids too quickly...I know it's habit because for years I have always been in such a rush that food & drink has always been rushed too...one day I am sure it will go in that I have to take dainty lady-like sips!!!!

but even with little sips it gets cross with me. I think its positional Angie.

I still struggle when I am really thirsty I just want a big glug of juice or something - too used to downing a whole glass of squash or similar. Now I have a big glug then when I can almost feel it 'blocking the plug' I panic!! Really still struggling to get enough fluids down and know I am thirsty quite a lot of the time and cant physically drink enough between eating! Arrrrgggggghh!!
