What can I do about nervous indigestion??? or whatever it is...?

You see... I go out to eat with my boyfriend and his family... or my boyfriend and my family and after I eat like just a little bit of food, like salad, I start to get indigestion. Sometimes, I even get it before I eat. But I also eat quite quickly when I eat, so that might also be the cause of my problems. Its really embarassing. Any ideas??

I think you have a lot of anxiety. Try Zantac. If it works, it's a lot cheaper to get it through a doctor. The same thing used to happen to me , and someone told me to buy Selenium. It's just a vitamin, but it really helped my indigestion. Maybe instead of salad, you should have soup. And get a soft drink that's carbonated, like Sprite or 7-up. if none of this helps, I think you should tell your doctor everything. He'll have someithing to calm your stomach. Does this happen when you're alone with your boyfriend? If not, it's definitely stress. You have to tell your doctor all of this. Good luck. :)

if u say your getting diarrhea, try pepto bismol before you go out. this helps control diarrhea, gas pains and sour stomach. you may also want to see an md about this, just incase you have an ulcer.goodluck;)michele
