General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I feel very bad right now and I can't really explain the feeling I have, I'm on my time of the month (If anyone bitches about me sharing this kind of stuff and how "gross" it is, I swear to god I will lose it.. I am tired of coming on here and getting judgements about the stuff I post instead of getting advice) ... I ate lunch this afternoon and afterwards I felt this icky sour feeling in my stomach, not nausea, Kind of like I had to burp/had gas but couldn't get it out.. It was kind of a pressure.. I can't explain it, anyway I felt better after my nap but I had dinner (and then a ton of chips) and I feel the same way now.. I know it was probably the chips that did this to me but now i'm scared that every time I eat this will happen and i'll feel this bad.

Do you have IBS or something like it? or do you think it's just this time of the month or even the food your eating.

For a while i kept getting a sour stomach for a while and it for me turned out that i just can't eat peanuts anymore with out getting that. Bodies change as we get older so it could just be a food you used to be able to eat you can't eat as much of any more.

I can still have a little peanuts now but i can't eat a ton of them with out getting the sour stomach.

But thats just me so i would just keep track of what your eating and when you eat it.

Also if you changed anything like meds your on that might effect it too.

I don't have IBS, My doctor cleared that up over a year ago when I thought I did... I never really had food allergies.. Maybe it's the foods im eating, You know how it is when you have no appetite on that time of the month.. But it makes no sense.. I normally don't get this icky/queasy on my period... I'm worried about it because it goes away but then comes back when I eat again :/ Idk if it's just in my head because of the anxiety of if there is really something wrong with me.

Ok lol dont worry i am not gonna comment ok because i know i been there where you are and i know it is worrying and dont ever ever be put off from posting your concerns on here because that is what this group is for ok,

In my humble opinion, and it is just that. Your issue is probably fat ok. One of anxieties greatest tricks is being able to stop your digestive system from dealing with any kind and especially dairy products. Try cutting out all fats if you can and dairy and see how you get on after a week or so, Limit yourself to really easy to digest stuff like rice (plain boiled NOT fried) and boiled fish and stuff and you may start to see a difference. Anxiety and chips not a good combo (at least in my experience) and if this gets worse you will be able to confirm this because your stools will start to look greasy as if they are covered in grease and that is your body not being able to digest or deal with fat and it going straight thru ur system and out the other end

hope that helps

Sorry you are feeling ill. My stomach gets queasy during "that time" as well. Your hormones have something to do with it.

So eat fresh and avoid fast food and greasy fried foods.

Chamomile tea and peppermint tea are excellent for calming down an upset stomach.
