Burning sensation in stomach?

[ThankfulJen]

Was wondering if anyone ever feels this? I won't google it because I'm sure it will have a list of all the horrible things that could cause this.

Only time I ever felt anything similar was with acid reflux. My stomach used to be in bits. Didn't even have to have the reflux coming up towards the throat to feel the whole burning stomach. Might be other reasons for it. Reasons I don't know that others do.

If you have been having a lot of anxiety it can do this. I have a very upset tummy from anxiety and get this.

Like Cuch I also get this sensation with GERD. Even without apparent regurgitation of acid my stomach sometimes burns.

Thank you all for your replies.

What you are describing could possibly even be caused by drinking a soda on a empty stomach, maybe eating something spicy, taking medications on a empty stomach can cause some terrible discomfort as well.

It has been happening this last week. I guess I have a few things I should probably look into. Not the greatest feeling.

Last night we had hot dogs. Tmi but I woke with diarrhea and feeling nauseous. When I woke again at six I threw up. I looked at the hot dog packaging and it read use by Jan 2021. I know we haven't had them froze for a year so I figured I got some food poisoning. Thing is my three kids didn't seem to be bothered by it at all. My husband was feeling yucky all day today, too. I googled like I shouldn't and asked why I would get sick but not my kids and it said most likely because I have a weakened immune system. And then said things like cancer or heart desease can cause it. So I'm extremely anxious now. Especially since I didn't feel so hot last weekend as well.

Strange that the kids didn't feel anyway sick at all. You could ask anybody who knows me what the one thing I do more than anything else. They will all say check the dates on food. Even if it is one day out of date I won't go near it. I feed it to the birds or something. Just this big thing I have about food. To be fair to me one local shop can sell things that are out of date. Then claim they had no idea it was still on the shelves. It is always a risk with food. What you ate was a form of meat that was over 6 months out of date. If we class hot dogs as food. They are a type of sausage. Fact is that 5 people can eat the same food that is out of date and 1 of them might only get sick. Not sure were your insurance is at, at the moment. But if it is food poisoning, it might worth a trip to a hospital. The symptoms you have would suggest so. They are the most comoon two symptoms. If there are any of these hot dogs left, they might be worth saving so, if a doctor wanted to test them, they could. Not something I ever had to deal with before. Some would simply deal with it at home. As if it will run its own course. As in it might not be food poisoning. It might be what you ate coming back and simply clearning out your system. Once it has all gone, you might feel a bit better. If food poisoning, case of what you want to do. You could ring a GP for advise. Might be told to go to the hospital. Depending on how bad things are. Hope things can get sorted for you quickly.

I'm the same way. No idea why, I've never had a bad experience with expired food. I guess I'm just a bit overly cautious at times.

 

[ThankfulJen]

I usually am! I refuse to let my husband cook pork because I never think he cooks it long enough. Nor chicken! For that matter. We got these from our neighbor who picked them up about three months ago when they were doing a food drive. It makes me wonder if others got sick as well. I'm doing much better now, thank goodness. But I'm not sure I'll eat hot dogs again!

 

[Cuchculan]

Probably not food poisoning then. At times we eat something that might be off that simply has to pass through our system. Never nice. But once is passes through the system we can feel better. Food poisoning would be a little bit more serious. But good to hear you are feeling better.

 

[bin_tenn]

Sometimes I get many of these same symptoms from food that's far from expired. Especially hot dogs. As for the point you made about pork and chicken, I actually don't worry much about it possibly being undercooked. If I cut into it and it's obviously almost raw then sure, I'll cook it more. But if it's slightly undercooked I'll eat it, and I've never had food poisoning from that stuff.

I'm sure it varies from person to person, too. Some people just have a stronger stomach than others, I suppose.

 

[Cuchculan]

At least we know now you can't stomach a sausage.

Me also. Maybe it is my OCD, but I have always had a thing about expiration dates and food textures. I need my meat to be well done, and I mean well done…like almost burnt. Even a hint of pink and I won’t eat it. I like chicken a lot but I quite often feel my anxiety/OCD kicking in about if it is really done enough.

No fun. I don't worry so much that it affects my daily life, but I do feel some type of way about expiration dates. I used to eat steak well done, but I prefer medium now. Anything less than that, I usually won't eat it but only because it doesn't taste good to me, not because I'm worried about how undercooked it is.

FYI, Burnt foods aren't healthy for you either.

That's also true. It's unfortunate because I actually enjoy "burnt" pieces of certain foods. Not the whole piece overcooked and burnt, but little bits of crispy. Then I learned a while back that eating burnt food is not good for you either, so now I have to limit myself. Good point!

Today at the grocery store when I walked passed the hot dogs I thought of you lol
