I slept most of today. My stomach hurt so much I wasn’t able to eat and only managed a few sips of lemonade to take Panadol.

I’m trying a few dry crackers now and maybe some heavily diluted Ensure

    Take it easy. Is it stomach problems as well or just feels?

    I have persistent longstanding abdominal pain with no apparent cause in combination with known medical issues around digestion, and it really affects my life/being able to eat. A lot of people with my disability end up with a feeding tube but I’m being denied funding for one and there’s the potential for it to increase pain.

    It’s chronic but naturally it does worsen with stress

    That sucks to hear and I'm sorry you have to go through that amongst everything else. We say our health system is better than the US but it still has all these barriers to punish people just for needing the support it's supposed to provide.
