So sometime last week I ate a hot dog that I later realized had not been sealed properly in its package. I got pretty sickly that night and ever since then, when I eat, my stomach gets upset shortly after. It pretty much doesn’t end since by the time it starts settling, it’s time to eat again, so basically, once I eat once, I feel ill all day.
It’s not really severe, but it’s definitely uncomfortable. I’ve tried Pepto, Pepto tablets and Imodium and those didn’t work. Any suggestions?
Symptoms are behind the cut for those who don’t care to read that 
It’s almost like I’m just really gassy, but it’s more than that. I haven’t actually had any diarrhea, just stomach cramps and frequent bathroom trips. I’m not sure what else to try, but if you know me, you know I really don’t handle tummy sickness well so I’m getting annoyed…

Oh babe. It sounds like you might have an intestinal parasite, or maybe an infection. Don’t take my word for it though, I haven’t finished nursing school yet!
If it doesn’t clear up in a few days, I would DEFINITELY go to the doctor. Hope you feel better!!

I’ve considered that, but I guess I should say this isn’t a new thing for me. Often when I incur something that upsets my stomach, it takes a while to recover…it just hasn’t happened in so long that I don’t remember what I normally do about it.
Someone else suggested a mostly liquid diet for a few meals. I might try that.
