Stomach issues... what's going on?

So, I've been dealing with this stomach discomfort for five days now. It’s not exactly "pain," if that makes sense... I threw up on the first day and had a ton of acid reflux. I tried sipping some Perrier, but honestly, it just made things worse—which is weird because sparkling water usually saves my life when my stomach acts up. My bathroom habits have been pretty loose lately, though that's pretty much my baseline anyway.

My stomach feels absolutely massive and bloated. It’s driving me crazy; I’m super sensitive to everything right now and it’s seriously messing with my daily routine. It’ll feel okay for a split second, then boom, right back to square one. Nothing seems to offer any long-term relief. For some reason, eating a tart apple actually helps a little. Everything sweet just makes me nauseous. My stomach constantly feels empty, so I feel forced to keep snacking just to dull that hollow sensation, but then the symptoms just come rushing back. I’m definitely not feeling 😁 coffee. As for cigarettes, I'm not sure... maybe they're an issue. Basically, greasy food and sugar are my enemies right now. The acid reflux has died down, but instead, I've got this constant reflux of liquid and intense bloating. It literally feels like I swallowed a bag of rocks.
For example, cottage cheese and crackers are fine, but soup kills me. Bread and spreads? No thanks. Fresh salad is okay, but cooked veggies make me feel terrible.

I'll probably head to the doctor tomorrow, but I'm curious—what kind of tests should I be asking for? And what could this even be?

I haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary that anyone else hasn't touched. Nobody else is sick. It’s just me!

What am I even supposed to eat at this point?

I feel like a total idiot for starting another thread just like this one.
Honestly, I don't even know what's going on with me. It just hit me out of nowhere—it’s like a light switch flipped, because I’ve never dealt with any of this before.

Same here. I’ve never had anything this intense happen. Sure, maybe I'd have some minor issues once in a while for an evening or half a day, but never like this—where it just won't stop and nothing seems to work.

Did you end up seeing a doctor? What was the verdict?
Symptoms like these can stem from anything—gastritis, maybe even gallstones.

I dealt with something similar once, and it turned out to be my gallbladder. After the surgery, the pain vanished instantly, though my stomach is still a bit sensitive to certain foods.
Either way, I’d suggest being really careful with your diet. Avoid heavy, greasy, or sugary stuff, and just stay away from whatever triggers those symptoms...
Good luck.

Typically, a gastroenterologist will suggest starting with an ultrasound before moving on to an endoscopy or gastroscopy. It’s the most reliable way to pin down what's actually causing your symptoms.
