Boo, DH has it now :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1032929 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:12:29 +0000 Adira 1032929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you ladies for all your support! I'm feeling MUCH better today!!! Not 100%, but definitely better! Although now my husband is sick, so maybe it wasn't food poisoning after all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1032273 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 18:50:50 +0000 Boheme 1032273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I just checked back here to ask if you were feeling better! Glad to read that you are :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1032243 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 18:15:33 +0000 silver1 1032243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad you are feeling better and hope it passes soon! I would make sure to drink plenty of fluids like Gatorade or vitamin water. It has some calories too and will fill you up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1032186 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 17:33:14 +0000 Pink Champagne 1032186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad you're feeling better! Good poisoning generally takes a lot longer than a few hours to manifest, so maybe look at what you ate yesterday morning or even the day before (just in case you had something in your house that could make you sick again)<br /> Hope you continue to feel better!! Stomach bugs are no fun :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1032177 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 17:23:51 +0000 Adira 1032177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: @Corduroy: @PEAPIE: Thanks ladies!! I do think that my stomach is feeling better, although I haven't really been able to eat anything. I hope I feel more normal tomorrow. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031995 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 15:40:00 +0000 PEAPIE 1031995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sad, I'm sorry you're sick. I hope it passes quickly! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031971 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 15:27:03 +0000 Corduroy 1031971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, not you again Adria. Glad to hear you're feeling better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031963 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 15:24:13 +0000 Mrsbells 1031963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I hope you feel better! Try eating yogurt thats supposed to be good for an upset tummy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031959 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 15:22:25 +0000 Adira 1031959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Thanks!! I really hope I'm feeling better in the morning. I feel like I've missed so much work already. And that's after 12 weeks of maternity leave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031931 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 15:11:12 +0000 T-Mom 1031931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This sounds a lot like the 24 hr stomach bug that my DD and I both got about 3 weeks ago. She threw up three times and was just weakened after that, and I threw up a lot more than that (and had other GI issues as well if you know what I mean). I felt a lot better by the next morning. Wishing you a speedy recovery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031851 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 14:40:53 +0000 Adira 1031851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Since becoming a mother, I'm just falling apart!! I kind of hope I just get everything this first year and then rarely get sick again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031513 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 12:53:34 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1031513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: oh no!! i JUST read about your HFM thing, and now this. Poor mama... I hope whatever it is, that it doesn't last long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031259 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:38:11 +0000 Adira 1031259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babynumber1: OMG!!!! Appendix issues are one of my BIGGEST fears!!!! Thank you for reminding me that that's an option! I'll definitely keep an eye on my temps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031254 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:37:30 +0000 Adira 1031254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: Thanks! I HOPE it's food poisoning! If I had to deal with this for 3-4 days, I'm going to cry!!! And I'm definitely worried about my supply! I'm trying to stay hydrated, but it's definitely hard when I feel like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031253 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:37:30 +0000 babynumber1 1031253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you get a fever, go to the doctor. I had my appendix rupture last year and thought it was food poising, but ended up with emergency surgery that night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031250 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:35:08 +0000 Adira 1031250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Okay, thanks!! I'll hope that whatever I have, Xander does get! Usually with colds, if he DOES get it, he always has a milder version than the rest of us, so if this is a stomach bug and he gets it, I hope it's mild! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031249 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:35:06 +0000 lindseykaye 1031249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This sounds like the stomach flu I had earlier this year (norovirus). I basically vomited throughout the day and night for about 3-4 days, with fatigue, lightheadedness, and eventual dehydration issues. I was 'sick' feeling for a few more days after that.<br /> Food poisoning is generally cleared from your system within 12-24 hours. Anything longer is most likely a virus.<br /> Also, yes it is safe to nurse. It is beneficial to nurse him in the case that this is a virus so that he will get the antibodies you're making and hopefully not contract anything from you (my girl did not get it even though both DH and I did). Just remember to stay hydrated and eat what you can to help keep up your milk supply. Mine took a serious hit from all the lack of eating/drinking for days but came back quickly once I was back to normal.<br /> Feel better!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031248 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:34:10 +0000 citymouse 1031248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Yeah, I read the Wiki and edited my post. I do like toast when my stomach is upset! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031247 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:34:04 +0000 Adira 1031247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: Thanks! I was hoping that was the case! I know that's true for when I have a cold, but I wasn't sure about it if I had something worse. Glad to know it's still okay! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031241 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:32:16 +0000 cascademom 1031241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: I've used it for both. It just eases my stomach best. As far as I'm concerned, both ends need binding foods to chill out after those gross episodes.</p> <p>@Adira Definitely keep nursing. I think I was nursing when I got sick with the stomach flu. Despite you being sick, breast milk is a wonder. LO slept through DH and mine's bout of stomach flu and didn't get sick either. Breast milk and sleep did the trick for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031237 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:31:46 +0000 kiddosc 1031237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: You are definitely ok to keep nursing. If it's an illness and not food poisoning you are going to do more good than harm by nursing Xander. That way he will get your antibodies and be able to fend off the illness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031235 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:31:20 +0000 Adira 1031235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: Oh, that's good to know!! So maybe if no more throwing up occurs, I can chalk it up to food poisoning! I'm wondering if it was the blue cheese dressing I had last night... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031231 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:30:24 +0000 Adira 1031231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Thanks!! I'll definitely stick to that! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031229 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:30:01 +0000 citymouse 1031229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If its food poisoning, you should be about done throwing up. If its a stomach flu, you might be in for more. </p> <p>BRAT Diet: Bananas Rice Apples Toast. Although, I normally would use that if its coming out the other end. Those foods are "binding" foods and help with diarrhea. ETA: I see on the Wiki page its also recommended for vomiting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031226 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:29:31 +0000 cascademom 1031226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: BRAT diet is Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast. Basically, neutral foods to ease an upset stomach. </p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRAT_diet" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRAT_diet</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031208 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:24:54 +0000 Adira 1031208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that it matters now because it's too late, but is it safe to continue nursing regardless of what it is? I already nursed this morning, but now I'm nervous I maybe am going to pass this on to Xander... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031207 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:24:23 +0000 Smurfette 1031207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Might have been a stomach bug. Hope you feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031203 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:23:13 +0000 Adira 1031203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Would a stomach flu come with a fever? And what's a BRAT diet??</p> <p>@kiddosc: Yeah, I'm REALLY hoping that it's basically over - I haven't vomited since 8:00 a.m., so I'm hoping I'm maybe getting better... but I'm scared to eat anything, just in case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dr-hellobee-is-this-food-poisoning#post-1031198 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:22:17 +0000 littlek 1031198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, it's either food poisoning or a stomach bug. Stick to simple foods like crackers, toast, etc. </p>
