Paging Elle Chris

[Harriet]

Hi,

Are we still on for you-know-what? If so, let''s see if the mods can help us out. Oh, and I need how-to-deal-with-your-mother lessons too.

Could I possibly nudge/encourage you guys to talk about scheduling another get together for us local/sort of local gals. I know the one planned for last November didn''t have a great response. Maybe now that the busiest time of the year has passed, we could try it again.

Of course. Can you ask?

I''ve asked too many times.

Harriet- sorry, I haven't got back to this thread sooner but we had lunch at Old Homestead yesterday and my stomach's been acting up since. Trying to get an appointment with my doctor but he's on vacation until the 5th. Lesson learned. Red meat and ulcers are a big no-no.
Balthazar sounds great. I'll message the mods and see if he'll do the honor of sending me your email

Gemgirl- a nyc get together sounds like a ton of fun, but I'm terrible at starting those types of threads. Perhaps you or Harriet (yet again) can do one?

 

[Harriet]

No worries. Are you feeling better now? I''ve messaged the mods.

It''s OK, I''ll start a thread. I''ve been under the weather since Thursday night. I have a touch of the stomach bug that''s going around and I''m feeling like poo! I have no energy.

elle, I battled H. Pylori and chronic gastritis all year last year. After three rounds of antibiotics, I''m finally better but you have to be very selective about what you eat because almost anything can be irritating and abrasive to a raw stomach. It''s a real pain in the ......

Hi Harriet- I also emailed the mods yesterday. I'm finally starting to feel better today but last night was a nightmare yet again.

Gemgirl- I have three ulcers, one of which was bleeding (but that stopped). Antibiotcs won't help me as there's too much acid in my stomach and that's what's causing them. Was on meds for 3 months over the summer. The pain went away, I was fine.
Last month it slowly started again until new years day when i had the meat that i think caused the terrible relapse. I couldn't keep anything down for the last two days and the stomach cramps were unreal. You know how when something starts to hurt so much you just kinda get weak and light headed? That's what happened last night and i just fell asleep early, tired from the pain. My Doctor is amazing though and he's back in the office Monday. Am calling early to get an immediate appointment.

 

[Harriet]

Thanks, ladies. Incidentally, I think this thread is infectious. I''ve come down with a cold or the flu.

Unequivocally. That''s why I''m having cake now.

 

[elle_chris]

cake mmm.. lucky! can''t touch anything except for dry toast. I''d prefer a piece of cake!

 

[Harriet]

Sorry. Let''s hope your Dr. gets you in asap. Then we can hit Balthazar''s.

I used to have ulcers elle, now it''s just chronic inflammatory gastritis which basically means that most of my stomach is chronically inflammed. If I eat the wrong thing? Well, let''s just say it''s not worth it and I learned my lesson the hard way. I went for six weeks at a time last year not being able to eat much of anything. I developed a real love of egg matzos. I still like them a lot and I keep them in the house all the time. Even dry or with a cup of tea, they still taste good plain.

I tried all the proton pump inhibitors (I have the excess acid problem too) and finally settled on one that helps but..... I have to take it twice a day or else I''m in pain and very nauseous. I hope your doctor can find the right meds for you. The newest one is Protonix but it didn''t agree with me. Maybe it will help you.

Feel better soon!

Harriet, it''s going around this flu bug thing.... Every winter...... you feel better too!

 

[Harriet]

Thanks. I''m tempted to go for a swim, but I''m not sure if it''s a good idea.
