Hi i have a really bad case of the stomach flu, and i was wondering what you would suggest me eat or change due to my following conditions. 1.) My stomach hurts when i wake up 2.) i m having insomnia (?), I try and stay up all day, but can only sleep for two or three hours max. 3.) I m recently dumped so maybe its a psych thing thats causing my body these things? 4.) my ex had this too and now i have it (so maybe not mental) 5.) I don t have an appetite and i m not eating much. Its like i m hungry but don t have an appetite to eat. 6.) i ve been throwing up, not alot. I did online research and made myself threw up as suggested but its been few days now and its not working. 7.) I m having diarrhea, my waste comes out either in small small pieces or in liquid form. they float and seem oily, though i haven t been eating much of anything much less anything oily 8.) my stomach seems to have flatten the past few days because i haven t eaten much, but right now it s like suddenly bigger. and heres what i ve been doing to try and get better (please correct me if i m doing something wrong) 1.) i ve tried taking sleeping aids to help me sleep, but still wakes up in two hours. 2.) I ve been drinking some Gatorid 3.) i have been drinking water 4.) i ve been eating mostly bread. I tried eating corn today. was fine earlier untill i woke up with worst stomach plain.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and a detailed history which is self-explanatory.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
All the symptoms that you have mentioned above fit into the psycho-somatic syndrome and hence you are advised the following:
First of all get a consultation with your Family Physician as a proper counselling, proper medications can help you a lot to come out of the vicious cycle of multiple problems that you are going through.
You need to have a prescription based medications hence can not write the names here as this is internet based counselling hence your Doctor needs to be consulted with.
Till then take a PPI like Omeprazole.
Antacids and probiotics.
It looks that you have to come out of the stress, anxiety or the psychological trauma and you would be far better earlier.
Avoid only those foods and beverages that you must have noticed to give symptoms, rest of the foods and beverages should be take as before.
Change of situation, place and environment helps a lot.
