Okay, so I notice this weird issue that seems opposite of most morning sickness - if I take my zofran, I feel better when I don't eat.
When I wake up and move around in the morning, I am fine. I eat something and 20 minutes later, yuck, I have an intense pain in my stomach that lasts a long time. I try to eat more, but I can't because it makes it feel worse, so I don't eat. A few hours go by, and I feel sick to my stomach (now I believe that is normal morning sickness) so I eat. Again 20 minutes later, pain. And it gradually gets worse for about 2-3 hours until I finally feel normal again about 4 hours later. By that time I don't want to eat anymore because I don't want to go through the pain again. I will say zantac has helped somewhat, but it doesn't last the full 12 hours like the box says it's supposed to.
So I eat dinner early and then go to bed late. If I eat before bed, I actually wake up in the middle of the night feeling worse then if I ate nothing at all.
I almost thought maybe gallbladder, but the pain is directly under my ribs on my left side, where my stomach is, it doesn't move anywhere else, it doesn't seem to match
Is this something serious or just regular old excess stomach acid? I did have peptic and duodenal ulcer when I was 18, that felt better when I had a full stomach, not empty and this is in the same place.
