    No pregnancy test. Do you think buyable tests will work effectively? Finding contradictions online and I'm confused. Sounds like I'll wait a bit for a result from a doctor

    I went to the /doctor/ twice, hospital once and a naturpath because my family has been so concerned. The doctor put me on amoxicillin and did a blood test. Hospital didn't do much of anything other than rehydrate me. Thank you guys so much for all your concern. I have another doctor appointment and naturopathic appointment within 5 days. I'm not at home alone so if anything happens we'll go back to the hospital. Right now, I just really want to know what foods you guys find really easy to digest. Thanks so much though!

    I have always been instructed to do the BRAT diet as one of the other posters said. If you can't keep most things down this would be a start and if you keep vomiting go to the hospital and don't walk out if they don't do anything, make a scene if you have to.

    When was your last period? You can take home pregnancy tests up to 5 days before your missed period and still get accurate results.

    When I was pregnant with my son I thought I had the worst flu ever and vomited almost constantly for over a month. I used a test from dollar tree and it was accurate.

    Of course people who post these sort of things know they should see a doctor. But for whatever reason, they don't want to see a doctor. I'm sure it's an anxiety thing.

    OP, find a really friendly and accessible medical office who employs mature people who acknowledge the patients in a friendly way and are polite and cordial with them on the phone. Find a doctor who will return your phone calls, makes him or herself accessible and who doesn't have a long waiting list. These medical doctors are usually self employed and work in small private offices.

    Doing it this way helped me a lot with my seeing-the-doctor anxiety. I don't go to large medical complexes in big cities or volume based medical offices who employ multiple doctors with a steady turnover. The whole get-'em-in-get-'em-out and have 'em pay some gum snapping 22 year old at the reception desk medical culture is pretty strong in the U.S., if that's where you're at. And it really contributes to anxiety about setting up medical appointments

    Ya, I always make a list of questions when I go to the doctor. She can see I'm working from a list and asks if I have any more questions. My last appt took over an hour - the VA is definitely not an HMO.

    Fortunately, there are respites like this for the niches they provide care to and thank goodness.

    Sick care is so personal, yet sick care in the U.S. has become to unbelievably commoditized to the point where it's practically dehumanized. I don't blame anyone for being scared to see a doctor, enter a hospital or get any radiography done. Especially if they live a more solitary life and don't have a close, trustworthy network of supportive individuals to accompany them to appointments and literally hold their hand through it.

    At best, large scale, for-profit medical in the U.S. is a labyrinth and at worst a behemoth. It can be more traumatizing than the sickness that led a patient to it to begin with.

    OP is in Canada.

    BRAT as mentioned in a few posts. Try avocado, steamed fish, eggs (any way... scrambled, poached, boiled). Things that are nutritious, bland but easy on the stomach. Hope you get well soon.

    You need to see a medical doctor with a PhD in Medicine. Not a Naturopath.

    You mean MD. While yes a PhD is a doctorate degree, an MD is a medical doctor.

    OP see a real doctor. Don't put your your life in the hands of someone who is not a medical professional. It literally could be the difference between life and death, andnifbyou get a diagnosis too late, it may too late to do anything.

    As a PhD myself, I am enjoying both the pedantry in your post and the sound advice. Though it is worth noting that in the uk at least many MDs take a sabbatical to do a PhD in an area of medical research.

    Op: go to a real doctor. You're in Canada right, so money isn't an issue?

    A naturopath ISN'T a doctor. They don't even need a license and ARE NOT RELIABLE to give medical advice of any type. Go to a gastroentrologist. It may be more serious than you think.

    Are there any eggs in your stool? If yes then it is probably a parasite and you need to take medication for it. The more you eat glucose, the more they will grow.

    What?
    I believe she means parasite eggs. But that can't be determined without an actual stool sample.

    Get to a real doctor and stop looking for diagnoses and cures in this forum. This is nothing to mess with. You'll end up hospitalized -- or in the cemetery
