You need to give the Prilosec time to work. A few days wouldn't be enough, if an ulcer or gastritis is what you are dealing with. Also, the OTC dose is not the dose you would get if that turns out to be the case. That could be why it doesn't feel like it's working, but I still wouldn't stop taking it. And you should really…

The pain came on literally overnight. One morning I tried eating toast and there was this really dull ache, and for the rest of that day, every time I would try to eat something I would have that type of pain in my stomach. They very next day, I tried to drink a cup of coffee and I guess with all the acid in that, I nearly…

My gastric ulcers were from the overuse of aspirin. So there are a number of things that can cause ulcers. You will probably have to have an endoscopy if they suspect that is what you have. I really hope you get some answers soon. Sorry you feel so bad.

I've had two gastric ulcers before. The pain was so bad I would almost double over eating bread or crackers. My diet was mostly liquid until they healed. For that all I needed was PPIs for a few months.

It also could be something as simple as an exertion headache, despite enough food and despite enough hydration. Those do exist, and they are not uncommon. They are not anything to be worried about, and it just means you have to ease into your exercise a bit slower. Just maybe something to google to see if it fits.

Too much magnesium could also be the problem. You said you take magnesium at night but you also put magnesium oil all over your body. You could be absorbing too much. For some people, too much magnesium can have the opposite effect and actually cause sleeplessness.

I eat popcorn every day. I use Pam oil spray. Just give it a little spritz and the seasoning stays on great.

Love light roast with a splash of milk.

I had it last year at this time. It lasted for over a month, and I was on painkillers at night for over 2 weeks. Just allow your body to recover. You don't want to do anything to continue to irritate the pleural lining.

I know all chemo protocols are different, and anyone who can do any physical activity through theirs, I commend you. I had to wear a bag for 96 hours of straight chemotherapy, so there was not an ounce of energy left in me by the time it was done. Walking from the bedroom to the bathroom left me breathless. As for nausea,…

Yeah, you don't drink soapy water to relieve constipation, but a soapy water enema sure will help.

It has nothing to do with being female. Some men aren't a good fit for IF either. Some people just need to eat breakfast, that's all.

I would take more dulcolax. They give that stuff to spinal cord injury patients who have been stopped up for over a month and their system literally doesn't work anymore. If it can get them moving, it can get anyone moving. That stuff in no joke.

Just use an extension of the .. 5 second rule.

I misread the inflection on that one, sorry.

When you are fasting...are you not restricting your calories even further?

I do IF and I lost 50 lbs. Not from fasting, but from staying in a calorie deficit within my 8 hr eating window. So my post didn't in any way, shape, or form put down IF. I just stated that IF in and of itself doesn't cause weight loss.

Sure, you can add me. And if you find something that helps, let me know. I hate that migraine hunger. Definitely doesn't help the calorie deficit.

I definitely notice that when my pain gets to a high level, I get really hungry. Just like you, I know in my head that continuous eating is not going to make my headache any better, so I don't know if it is almost a comfort thing for the pain. All I know is, if my pain is a level 3 or 4, this doesn't happen. But if my pain…

But your follows posts went on to say that it does. That's on you.

Only, it doesn't. You can gain, lose, or maintain doing IF depending on your calorie intake.

It's only meal timing. Moving breakfast from 7 am to noon is not magic. It's all about calories. Otherwise everyone would fast and then eat whatever they wanted and not get fat. You only need a calorie deficit to lose weight.

Fasting doesn't make you lose weight. Staying within your calorie limit does.

Yes, your weight shifted while you were on your week long detox diet not because of the detox, but because you probably consumed very low calories. Now that you aren't "detoxing" anymore, and your eating more again, you are probably eating more than you think. So it doesn't matter how much water you drink. If you are…

What is your exercise routine on a daily basis?

No, they DON'T actually believe it. These people are actually con men (and women) who are looking to make a buck from peddling this bs. There have been quite a few of these people who have written books and have given seminars, but when they have been tested, as in being locked in a room and given no food or water for a…

There are sugar free cough drops available.

'It combines all the latest thinking about the health benefits of kick-starting your diet with a fast-track 800 calories a day for a few days, weeks or months, followed by a steady — and now much more manageable — 5:2, which allows 800 calories on fast days and healthy eating the rest of the week." I see it now. You starve…

That's why I had to read it several times. Although he talks about how to extend fasting, he then goes on to talk about how superior his 5:2 fasting is, and he even says to only eat 800 calories on the 2 fasted days and eat regularly every other day. So to me the article was pushing the 5:2

This guy isn't talking about eating 800 calories every day. I had to read this article several times. He's talking about IF 5:2, and only eating 800 calories on the 2 fasting days. Yes he talks about other ways to fast, but then he dives into how his way of 5:2 is a far superior way to fast, and then talks about the 800…
