Hello everyone! I’m new here but in need of some advice. I have had faint yellow (almost translucent) colored watery output for the last 5 hours or more. I feel nauseous and my abdomen is on fire with my muscles contracting every 5 minutes or so. I am really trying to stay out of the hospital. So far I’ve taken a Lomitol, 2 Immodium, omeprazole (for the gerd), and my medical marijuana for the pain and slowing of my output. However nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!!!!

G-Day Mrk, it sounds like you may have a blockage. If you start to vomit, head for the emergency room ASAP. Regards, Iggie

Agreed to the above, does that medication slow the stomach down? I've always used a hot water bottle if I can for the pain.

If you have a blockage, taking Imodium is not a good idea. It is likely to cause you more problems than it will solve. You might have a blockage; it sounds like it... you need to be careful about how you proceed from here. You might get dehydrated from all the output. It would be best if you went to your local ER and had it checked out, especially if you begin vomiting.
