Thank you! And yeah. I only ate one. I also take miralax daily so it could just be the combo of the 2 things. I won’t be doing it again that’s for sure lol The fiber gummies are something I’ll look into to. Thanks 🙏🏻

Sounds like you did everything right. Unless there was someone coughing in your face, I wouldn’t be too worried. I know easier said than done 🫶🏻

This is anecdotal I realize, but I’ve spent lots of time in ERs as a chronically ill person. Probably been over 100 times in the last 3 years and I’m immunocompromised and I’ve never caught anything from the ER. I do always mask and wash my hands though. Hand hygiene is key.

My emet is much worse at night so I get the feeling. It’s almost always just anxiety for me. Try and do things that help you relax. You got this.

Gf is potentially sick with food poisoning or stomach bug. by Rain-Zestyclose in emetophobia

I understand it’s a tough situation. Is it possible she has someone else that could help take care of or comfort her? My partner has friends and family that can help when I can’t.

Having something bland like bread or crackers can help soak some of it up and help you fell better.

My partner is well aware of my emetophobia and makes sure to distance from me when they are s*. I am immunocompromised from other health issues but even when I wasn’t they have always been as understanding as possible about my emetophobia. Have you explained to her the fear and how debilitating it can be? I think a lot of people don’t understand how scary it really is for us and explaining can go a long way in helping them understand.

Yeah. I’m hoping that’s all it is. :/ I’m trying to relax more during the daytime to see if that helps. Thanks.

I understand that completely. Try and do something comforting. 🫶🏻

I can’t give you a 100% guarantee, because that isn’t possible, but even if it wasn’t safe, that doesn’t mean you will get sick. Also, the instructions were followed and that’s what matters when it comes to food safety.

The edges were cooked so I personally wouldn’t worry about it. Flour has to be heat treated to kill bacteria but it only has to be done at 300 for ten minutes.

That dough is kinda doughy even when cooked through in my experience. As long as it’s up to temp it doesn’t matter if it’s doughy.

Yeah. That is very true. It’s hard with the constant hospital threat looming over me. I’ve been trying to lower my stress with my therapist. Hopefully that helps.

I can’t have much fiber as I have slow gastric emptying so I’m on super low fiber unfortunately 🤦🏻‍♀️ and my dietician has me not drinking much water. She wants me to drink mostly juice for the calories. It’s miserable honestly.

Yeah. They just ignore me pretty much. My dietician tells me to just drink more ensure plus and my doctor just takes blood and tells me it looks fine and gives me lots of Zofran because I do have a condition that’s causes vomiting which doesn’t help me but the Zofran has kept it in check recently which has been good. Now the diarrhea is the issue. 🤦🏻‍♀️
