I'm suffering from stomach ache since this morning, I don't know what makes me had this problem. I just eat a peanut butter sandwich and a macaroni salad this morning and after two hours I felt I had a slight fever and a LBM. I already took medicine and a hydrite to prevent from dehydration. It is almost midnight here and I can still feel some pain but my diarrhea was already gone. I hope by tomorrow I will feel much better but if not I will see a doctor.

Maybe your food just didn't agree with your tummy. The good thing about it is you are expelling it out; the bad side is, you might be dehydrated. But it is good that you already good the hydration part covered. I have read somewhere that certain food combinations may not be good for the tummy. The effect is similar to having food poisoning. I hope you feel better soon.

My son, years ago, had the same thing. It turned out that his appendix needed to come out. I took him to the emergency room and they wanted to send him home but I would not go until they tested his white count, which confirmed appendicitis. I had the same symptoms 4 years ago and remembered that experience--I had my appendix out the next day.
I'm not being alarmist, but most people think appendicitis means a bad pain in the right side and fever. This isn't always the case. And it doesn't just happen to younger people--I was 54 when my appendix went bad.
You may just have the stomach flu, too. I hope it's something minor. I was relieved when it was my appendix because I'll never have to worry about it happening again, maybe when I can't get to a surgeon. Either way, I hope you feel better soon!

Well, it could be a medical issue, and hope things are better for you by now, or could it be a touch of Food poisoning from something? How fresh was the macaroni salad? I really hope that you are starting to feel better, and it was just a slight touch of the Flu or something.

I'm sorry to hear that you've not been feeling well, but I suppose that it is a good thing that your diarrhea was quick to resolve. Now it could have been from something that you've eaten and as much as I love to eat macaroni salad, I would probably pinpoint that as being the culprit if you think that you might have a slight touch of food poisoning. If there has only been one thing that I've learned in my life, it is that we always have to be careful when it comes to foods that include mayonanise.

I like macaroni salad too that's why everytime we visit that grocery store we did not miss to buy Macaroni this is the first time I got sick, I wil keep it in my mind too about foods with mayonnaise.

I remember when I have stomach aches sometimes. Something that always manages to soothe my pains is a cup or a few cups of peppermint tea. You should drink some peppermint tea and see if it works, drink a few cups throughout the day and see if you feel any better.

hi the symptoms sound l ike the stomach flu to me and I would take some tums and some kaopectate fo rhe diahrrea and in a few
days yu should be over it.
for awhile you should just eat apple saucew and apple juice and toast and be sure to drink plenty of room temp water so as not to be dehydrated.

Sounds like you had a 24 hour bug. I hate the diarhea and such. Ugh! But the really bad feeling is feeling nauseated. I will stick my finger down my throat and get sick just to avoid the nausea feeling. I just hate that. Glad you feeling better.

When tummy ache with LBM is accompanied by a fever, it is most likely viral, bacterial or in our country amoebic in nature. The best thing to do is consult your doctor and have a stool exam to determine the exact causative agent or pathogen. You did the right thing taking hydrite to prevent losing vital body electroytes and to prevent dehydration. What medicine did you take? If the diarrhea subsided then that is a good sign, yes drink lots of fluids to replace what was lost, good luck

Could you have gotten food poisoning? Maybe the mayonnaise was a bit off without you knowing it.

I say it's either food poisoning or maybe what some one said your appendix. Y do however think you need to see a doctor right away. Good luck to you and hope all is ok.

Hello there. It seems like the food you've taken had caused your stomach pain. Since you were having diarrhea and you had fever, I think it may be minor food poisoning. There is also another possibility such as having a swollen appendix. I hoped you have went to the hospital to get yourself diagnosed and received proper treatment. Minor food poisoning may not be threatening but if you had appendicitis, then it's another story.
