Completely Miserable

*WARNING TMI AND GROSS*
So...about a month ago I weaned myself off my acid reducer. Have had ZERO problems. ZERO. Until last night.
Over the weekend, I made braised short ribs. Last night, we ate leftovers. We ate late, and it was WAY TOO SALTY (sat in the fat and pancetta for days) and WAY TOO FATTY. I still ate. Felt fine. Watched TV and went to bed.
An hour after falling asleep, I woke up to my mouth and nose filled with bile. Ran to the bathroom, spit, coughed, hacked, thought I was dying. Wanted to vomit, got down by the toilet as if to vomit, but couldn't vomit. No spams from my stomach. No cramping, no pain, nothing. Just an endless stream of bile. I inhaled some as I woke up gasping. Decided to shower to try and clear myself out. (think nasty, *stuffed* nose) I was feeling SUPER hot, so I hoped the shower would help. It did, somewhat.
Got out of the shower and Mat had gotten pillows from my couch to prop me up. I slept upright all night. Didn't sleep much, but it did settle down enough to sleep for a while. This morning, it's settled somewhat. Still having moments where I feel it in the back of my throat. Also, coughing up some interesting things and having to use my inhaler.
Email into my surgeon's office. I did start my omeprazole again. All liquid and yogurt diet today.
Anyone encounter anything like this?
I'll keep you posted.

I had something similar - have heard it referred to as "the slimes" - it happened to me on my first day in my new job. Threw the slime up into my hands as I was racing to the bathroom. If I feel I need to puke but can't I drink water to make my stomach over fill so it forces it up and I am not proud of this but that day I stuck my finger down my throat to help me gag and it worked. That was the only time I did that and hope O don't have to do thT again. When you feel that badly, you do what you have to.
Also try the chewable papaya enzyme tablets. I got mine at Target. They help settle your stomach and supposedly help break down food.
Good luck and feel better!0 -
I'm on liquids yesterday, today and most of tomorrow. The omeprazole has the sphincter shut, finally, so no more burning chest. Now, my intestines burn. Not sure which is more uncomfortable. I'm sitting at my desk with my skirt unbuttoned to relieve the pressure. Meh.
Jen, there was no slime, just pure bile. And, I was seconds away from shoving my fingers in my throat and wonder if I should have. When I was in the shower I was waiting as my mouth filled with bile and would spit. So unpleasant to even talk about. Sorry for those reading that have not experienced it. I will check out the papaya enzymes, you're not the first that has mentioned them...hmmm.
Such a miserable feeling. I just hope I'm back to 100% by my flight on Monday!0 -
I hope you are feeling better and especially in time for your trip!!! Sorry it took so long to get back to you - had an all day training and Donne after work - just got home! Let me know how you are feeling!0

Hey! Not 100% but nearing it. No real complaints today, other than being at work when I'm normally not. Heh. Still burning in the stomach, but not nearly as bad as yesterday. I'm also assuming it's from a whole night of my tummy still being pissed producing acid and it collecting in my intestines.
I hope training went well! Thanks for checking on me!0 -
Little by little you will feel better but agree it sucks! Training went well - lots of great people on my team
