Illness Question: TMI Ahead

[kriadydragon]

Okay, so, today I experienced the worst gut-ache I'd ever had. It was like having a massive amount of gas and bloating in my lower inestines. I mean it was so bad that even sitting hurt, and I thought I would have to go to the hospital.

Then I threw up and started feeling immediately better. Mind you my gut is still a mess but nowhere near what I was experiencing before, and I haven't thrown up since.

I have crappy digestion and at first I thought it was my bowels having a major rebellious moment, or that not only were my pro-biotics not working but making things worse. But, as it turns out, my nephew had suffered something similar - gut pains, then vomitting, then feeling better.

Has anyone ever heard of something like this? Is it some kind of 24 hour virus or something? It was just so odd to throw up once and then for the pain to immediately abate. (and I know it wasn't food poisoning since the only thing I threw up was water).

Yeah, there is some kind of stomach virus going around. My neighbor was just talking about it today.

Yikes :S Although, speaking strictly for myself, here, I'm rather relieved it's just a virus and not my digestion going haywire. At least a virus goes away.

Yeah, my neighbor said 6 people were not at her club meeting because they have it. Hope it doesn't hang around hon.

Yup, there's a stomach bug going around here, as well.

It was just so weird to throw up once and be done with it. I'm used to the stomach bugs that have you throwing up for hours. But, hey, I'm not gonna complain ;)
