A lot of you know i've been trying to get over food poisoning...I still have Colonitis as a result. Do any of you have an upper stomach hernia, what is it called? You have to be careful what you eat, stay sitting up for at least 2-3 hours after etc etc...
Yesterday I ate a pastrami and zuccini fries.. I KNOW, I don't know why I torture myself when I value my life so much! I went home and laid down for 2 hours.. again, a big NO NO... Got up and starting drinking some Fresca and typing an ad on here... omg... the pains in my chest and stomach came on like a volcano... It was the WORSE and longest episode EVER! I honestly thought I was going to die this time.. My eyes rolled in the back of my head and I couldn't control my yelling, I couldn't breath, thought I was going to pass out or vomit, I was soaked in sweat by the time the paramedics came.. my bp was thru the roof... Spent the rest of the night in the hospital.. Can you believe I did this to myself? I'm done with torturing myself.. Husband and I agree... I have to eat small bland meals from here on out.. I NEVER want to go thru THAT again!! :( Anyone else have this trouble? Have any tips on what foods sooth you?? I'm on meds for now but I was told Tagimet or Prilosec is good..

3|1|Sorry to hear you are so ill. Rice is very good for the system, just plain rice for now. You can also eat some hamburger cooked without fat, broil it. Stay away from raw veggies. you can go online and see a list of diets for people with colon problems. |lv2qpon|jcummins1@rochester.rr.com|14:47:57|08/18/2011|
I have to be careful what I eat and do O.K. if I avoid all fried food, which I hate anyway. I do eat bland food but you get used to if you use lightly seasoned food with onion salt and black pepper once you feel better. Farina is good for breakfast or toast. I will pray for you. 4|1|Thank you for your prayers...|destiny|destinyroger@yahoo.com|16:02:52|08/18/2011|
Everyone has been so nice and supportive here..:) I went online and wrote down all the foods I should eat and avoid and all the things I should and shouldn't do... so i'm on the right track and I pray I get my energy back and just get back to normal again.. what a month!!! We will be going away for 3 days next week so I hope i'm up for that but i'm tired of the couch!

But I know what you mean. For a while I just wouldn't accept that I had food allergies. I continued to eat what I knew would cause itching and hives. Then in February of this year, actually accidentally, I ate something with sulfites in it and ended up in the ER. Now my more milder food allergies (to corn and wheat) are much worse. I now have had to change my diet to organic, preservative free, corn syrup free foods (and even health and beauty aids) to control the reactions.
Take care of yourself. I know how it is to have to give up the foods you enjoy. It's no fun.

8|1|Liz, this sounds like a hiatel hernia. I have the same thing. Read on|flapper|joyphalen@yahoo.com|05:51:40|08/19/2011|
The first time it happened, was right after I had an operation for a brain tumor in '93 I got through that okay and when it happened I thought Oh God I made it through that and this is how I'm going to die. In the middle of the night I woke up from acid that felt like it was pumped up from my stomach, there was so much acid that came up, I could not breathe, I was gasping for air for the longest time. Finally after a few times that it happened I learned to close my mouth and breathe thru my nose. And you can breathe much better but like I said it took several times and months that I figured it out only due to the fear you feel.
Yes, you have to watch what you eat. Nothing with acid in it. If I want a pepsi or coke I have to have it early in the day, never close to bedtime. I've been on a prescription, ( will be till I die) and sometimes it doesn't work. Right now I"m on Prilosec right now. Have had to change meds as they stop working after awhile. Was on protonex for a few years.
The other day I had such an episode that it hurt my chest and my asphosicas (not sure of the spelling, don't feel like looking it up so I gues I'm close enough), I took 2 of the pills and 4 tums and 2 ginger tablets. I had eaten a cheesburger where I voulunteer and not sure why that upset things so much.
But here's something that might help you. I have to sleep with 2 pillows at night. And you know as soon as the acid starts coming up, I'm sitting up in the bed before I even wake up and realize that I'm awake. The brain knows of the fear and just get you up so fast. And do not eat anything after dinnertime as that makes it happen too.
Try sleeping with the 2 pillows on top of each other and eat nothing after dinner and stay from foods that have acid in them.
Hope this helps you somewhat. This is something you have to live with and will never go away. So just be careful.

Garnette member 9|1|Yep, it's a Hietal Hernia...|destiny|destinyroger@yahoo.com|10:57:25|08/19/2011|
That's what my cardiologist told me but now I realize he wasn't much help in telling me WHAT to do about it.. I've learned SO much about this condition and treatment from you friends and online in just the past few days.. I feel better all around about it now and pray I NEVER have to call the paramedics again!!!
I am vowing to never eat bad things again but since I have a food addiction, this is going to be hard even though I know it could do me in.. That's what an addiction does to you.. you end up torturing yourself even though you value your life..
I have a problem too with my husband who loves to eat and CAN eat all that stuff and he actually sulks and gets mad if I don't share a burger or pizza with him. He knows I shouldn't eat that stuff but he still sulks about it.. I think there's more to it then just these reasons but won't elaborate.. Men are weird... :)
In 1998 I had colon cancer and had surgery to remove the cancerous part and then they put me back together.. That's how I got the hernia.. I went back to work two weeks after my surgery and did some strainious work and that's where the hernia came from.. life aint it grand? THANK YOU LADIES!!! HUGS TO YOU ALL!!! LETS work to always try and do whats best for us... amen!!!
