stomach pain

Oh dear. But think this happens sometimes with a curry with some people. The kfc sounds very tasty hope you enjoyed it, one of my favourite foods.

Yes ya seen,

Try not to worry easier said than done I know,and don't go on Dr Google because you will have every symptons on there,in fact I think we should have a ban on google n here,what do we all think it can worry you silly,

When I have curry I know it and that is even homemade very spicy and I think most people it effects.

I had a curry meal yesterday too...and because I avoid dairy products, I thought I was going to be affected by the dairy in many of the dishes. But because I took Barb's advice and had a TBSP of apple cider vinegar in a full glass of water before I left for the restaurant, I was absolutely fine and digested the meal well. I was shocked because of late I have had digestive issues; acid indigestion and reflux as well as bloating and discomfort after meals. But the meal just moved right along so it seemed and didn't back up or sit like a rock in my stomach as it has been doing. This apple cider vinegar is amazing. 

I would definitely avoid fried foods while you are in digestive crisis....and also dairy. Wait a while, eliminating ALL dairy...even the tiny bit in your morning tea. Replace it with almond or coconut milk which are delicious and have as much calcium as milk. Your insides will thank you for it.

Hi robin plz can ask you why is it importnt not to have dairy foods does it give you diarrhea??

Hi joan yeah your right well feeling much better at the momnt me.

Hi Yaseen, Milk and all its derivatives (yoghurt, cheese, hidden in foods such as cookies and puddings etc..) come originally from the udder of a cow. The baby calf sucks on the teat to get the perfect nutrition to meet it's baby cow needs. The cow has 4 stomachs which is what is required to properly digest milk...which IS indigestible. All mammals feed their young this way including humans. And milk from each species is specially designed to meet the unique nutritional requirements of that particular species; zebra milk for baby zebras, mouse milk for baby mice,very high fat whale milk for baby whales. We, humans are the only mammals that even in adulthood go to another mammal (the cow) and rob it of its milk to drink ourselves. Right away, common sense tells us that this is not the best food for the health of an adult (or even a child). Of course, human breast milk is...but for a baby. Once a calf has passed 'infancy', it is weaned and eats grass or hay. 

The result of this is that many (most?) humans cannot tolerate milk. It's not usually an allergy but an intolerance. We dont' have 4 stomachs and so milk is highly indigestible and we suffer if we drink it...or eat other dairy products. Some people get diarrhea, like me if I drink more than a bit. Others get very mucosy and get post nasal drip, resulting in coughing...like me. 

I suggest that you stop ingesting all dairy until your digestive issues settle down. Buy almond or coconut milk. It's delicious. And take probiotics in a rice or soy based formula....not dairy. You have to visit a health food store to get that unless your local grocery store carries it.

Good luck!  Learn to listen to your body.

 

Hi doc i hant had diarrhea now but very worried i dnt have watrey stools but sum stool are firm n sum nt is this norml. But it dunt luk bad because if i had sumat wrong i wud b runing to toilte and here ive only empter my boweĺ only once as i did frm years wud b great to read yr rply

Hi Yaseen, I have seen your previous posts where you have written in proper English. I would suggest that you write correctly because it's almost impossible to undrstnd. 

Hi Robin yeah will write full english words nextime.

Im use to texting lol

Ah yes, I gathered that. I don't text at all so I am not used to garbled English.

You are young, I think,  but with time and with experience you will learn to 'read' your body's messages (hopefully not garbled)...and respond to them. LOL

Once your insides settle down, after some time, you could try to reintroduce dairy...just a tiny bit at a time and see how you tolerate it. If your traditional foods (maybe Pakistani?...) include milk, you will want to be able to eat them. But for the moment, just go easy on anything rough on the insides like dairy and fried, salty foods.

Personally, I use only almond milk in my tea and coffee...but if I am out visiting someone or in a café, I am stuck and I do have milk. But I end up sneezing, my nose running and coughing about 20 minutes later. If I were to drink milk or eat dairy products every day, then the symptoms would get worse. I will even take a small baby food jar of almond milk with me if I am going to visit someone.

Another reason I don't like to drink/eat dairy is because my body is telling me (clear message) that it is reacting to a food that it does not want inside the body. So I am in essence fighting with my body by ingesting dairy. We want to be good to our bodies so that they run well. It's like putting the wrong petrol in your car. It may be sluggish or act up in some way. You want to always feel your best. 

You are young so it's good to learn early on to look to lifestyle solutions rather than drugs to address health issues. Doctors are often quick to prescribe drugs but side effects come with them. They are not good for the body although sometimes you have no choice but to take them. Ideally, you want to treat your body well (your body is your temple) so that you will not need drugs down the road.

You might just have some food poisoning. Keep everything refrigerated. Nothing should be left out on counters, even for 10 minutes... especially in the summer heat. Put a fridge thermometer in your fridge (for safety reasons...good to have) and make sure it is below 40 Fahrenheit. 

Good luck, Yaseen!

Thank you Robin yeah im drinking grean tea for my breckfast now. I had toast in morning. My doctar said Yaseen be yourself eat the stuff that you know want harm your stomach. So now im eating less curry with less spices. No dairy products Robin its been a day or 2 since i stopped it. I dont go toilte as much now so the signs are there im getting better now. Just reading my body which foods it likes and if some foods it doesnt like then i want give it. I totley agree with you taking drugs at this young age or any age its nooo good. i do blame myself alot me because i use to eat alot of outside food. Its sooo much that your guts can take then they start showing you signs that they in pain. Just had a aple for my lunch at tea il be having spinich curry and two chapties. Hope you get better to Robin

Thank you Joan may i ask you what stomach  problem have you got please dont mind its good to know.

Hi,

I had bloating and pains and gas,at the moment I have gone gluten free and taking vitamin D although I am not celiac.I have plenty of veg and some fruit not as much as veg, because of the sugar content and acid which effects me

Yeah joan bloating can be a pain and frustrating. Why dont you try grean tea when i have bloating i have grean tea its helps me. 

onething ive learnt Joan i need to be careful what i eat from now on. Yes having a treat one off like every 3 months that will do for me. But please give grean tea a try peppermint or any other it will help. Dont be having alot only 2 cups a day

Hi,

I have tried peppermint did not like  it have had camomile not had green,I have never drunk ordinary tea in my life.

But will try green
