Okay, I've been suffering with ??? since early Monday morning. Began with a low-grade fever (100.9 at the highest), headache, stomach cramping, diarrhea and loss of appetite. I felt unwell.
In this particular case, which is not entirely over, I had stopped all meds completely, cold turkey, because I could not handle taking anything on an already irritated GI tract.
What have you all done in a similar situation?
I believe some of my problems the first day were caused by lack of fluids, lack of food, withdrawing from meds and being sick.
Once my gut was "cleaned out", and I survived the above, I noticed my interstitial cystitis pain had disappeared and my nasal stuffiness was gone, and I suffered no more headaches. I guess if I could stop eating all together, I would feel wonderful.....except that I would die of malnutrition?
Once I had no more food in me, and no more medications, I felt better. There's a problem though, the diarrhea and cramping continued, and I am still not 100%.
I am slowly adding back the antihistamines and meds.
Do you take your meds during a GI illness? I know I could not.
