Pain, nausea and burping

Hi Beigefodder

       Following my sigmoid resection i concentrated on eating high protein food, scrambled eggs, fish, chicken, cheese and some protein shakes, i was lucky and didn't have a stoma so i'm not entirely sure of the effects on this.

Following surgery in September i just took paracetamol for pain and that was it however, i have developed joint pain,  heart burn and very sore feet while having chemo tablets, now on a weeks rest while feet recover. 

I think that drinking plenty of water, probably 8 to 10 pints a day with orange or lemon juice has helped with the sickness and if possible eat plenty, small amounts at a time if necessary but i do think it helps.

It's probably trial and error with burping, possibly a type of food that has this effect but i would suggest you still contact your nurses for further advice, good luck

All the best TG

Thanks for reply

I eat small amounts though often nothing as I get pain after eating so may be part of the problem

I drink water lots! But also on levothyroxine now and pregabalin for nerve pain so not sure what’s what anymore ?
can’t eat dairy or anything spicy including garlic since operation

protein shakes may be worth a try 

weird how it’s suddenly come on though as been eating same since treatment

Hi,

It is rather strange after such a long time but our bodies are a complicated structure, i would definately ask your nurse or doctor for advice.

Btw, my protein shake is 96% milk

Firstly, you should not be worried about consulting somebody if, as you state, you have new troubling symptoms.

My advice would be to contact your GP first.

Best wishes

Hi ,

I was thinking the same about your GP being there for you still .

Might be worth seeing what they think . My mum developed something similar , hers was acid reflux but the GP wanted to know about it .

Take care ,
