Hello all-
I have been out of the hospital for almost two weeks now, everyday is a struggle but now it seems something new is happening and I was curious if anyone else experienced this and what did you do about it?
I have severe Crohn's with colitis and I was doing "ok" as far as eating was going, but four days ago I developed a bad bad acid reflux situation which I've never had before. GI said it's ok to take Prilosec so I am and it seems the acid reflux has subsided but now I have a huge knot right in the middle of my upper stomach and I dry heave, or feel like I need to vomit and NO food sounds good and when I do try to eat it's like it doesn't want to pass that knotted area...
I'm scared because I know I have to eat but now I'm eating VERY little yet again because of this new development. I'm so weak and now I feel like I'm getting weaker...all I want to do is eat. On another note, the severe lower abdominal pain improved and my bm's also improved. So what the heck???
Any insight would be lovely. I don't want to go back to the hospital for a PICC line or feeding tube...that just opens up another door for something to go wrong.
I do have a call into my GI too, but usually they just say it'll take time.
Thanks community, reading everyone's stories has been helpful.
