Am I allowed to vent here about a medical issue? I have an ulcer and haven't eaten in 8 days.
  • I have similar issues like yours.

    Ulcers can form in the upper GI tract due to excess acid production, or lack of food, or chronic acid reflux due to hiatus hernia or insufficient gastro-esophageal valve closure. Each needs different sets of treatments. But if the treatments are not working, then you need to get tested for H. Pylori infection on one of the ulcers. It's a bacteria that really needs antibiotic treatment for it to go away, else the ulcer will persist indefinitely. To diagnose H Pylori, you need a an endoscopic biopsy done of the ulcer. Demand the doctor to get yourself tested for h pylori.

    If possible, peanut butter is a good nutrient. Has good proteins and fat, and is easily swallowable. Avoid caffeine, tea, smoking, alcohol, anything citric, candy, sugary products, pineapple, papaya, hot (as in chilli hot) foods, chilies, chocolates, etc.

    I wouldn't recommend Gatorade, as often has added acids for the flavor, which is not good for your GI tract right now. You can get unflavoured Oral rehydration powders over the counter, and use those only if you are dehydrated or feeling weak. Surviving on just salts and sugars is not good. You need macro nutrients for the wound to heal..

    Ensure is fine, but not enough and very sugary. As I said earlier, have peanut butter. If you can have green leafy salads with some feta cheese, that is very good. I know it's very difficult to feel like eating amid the constant feeling of uneasiness and nausea, but you need to find some space in between. Maybe when it is the least worse.

  • How do I get the LED on my Samsung Galaxy S22 to light when I get a new notification and while it's charging?
  • That is not how the app works for me.

    I get the blinking feature as soon as I get a notification, without the screen turning on.

    Yes, I was very much disappointed with Samsung for killing the notification LED. I loved that feature on my S2, S3, and S6 edge. But for me, the third party apps do work.
