Maybe go to the Dr. I know itching can be s sign of things.

But my boob itched when I started loosing weight and getting sore underneath . don't know why. Better now

I think I am going to go in today after work I have read it could be a sign of my liver not properly functioning i have not went to the bathroom in maybe 10 days so I could just be backed up IDK I however took 2000 MG of viatmin B12 this morning it seamed to help a little bit but the itch is still their with it being the weekend I can either go to the ER after work or I can wait until monday and contact my surgen and my PCP and have some labs done and hopefully it tells me something IDK just worried I GUESS ;(

10 days is way too long for a BM. Please use an enema, suppository, milk of magnesia.. something to get things moving.

Currently drinking mirilax in Water hoping for the best I also drank it two days ago with no help I am currently at work so If this does not work I will try something else when home this evening

Zyrtec (sold Otc) works great to help with itching. I've been taking it daily for years.

Gassy Girl do you know the cause of the itching? do you know why I feel the way I do? Im wondering because no many people talk about this unless its the sites from surgery this is seriously all over my body good news the B12 did help NOT all the way but I have a little less itch at this point of my day

[dreamingsmall 1,125]

do you have a walk in centre? If the itching is super bad you should get seen.

How far out and what do you eat. I'm lucky I only had issues with Constipation for first week

[GassyGurl 428]

I have never been able to determine the cause of my itching. I've been to the best Dr in the country and we can't find anything wrong.

Itching is such a common symptom. If you're not having any other symptoms, I would just try Benadryl or Zyrtec. Most clinics will do the same. If that doesn't help, then maybe go in. How far out are you?

There is also topical benadryl cream, but it's hard to cover every spot that itches sometimes! I feel your itch.

There are a couple of things that come to mind here. First, when you are on a high Protein diet you can get constipated. Second, what is your Water intake? If you are drinking coffee or any caffeinated beverage you have to add double the amount of water to cover the caffeine intake because it will dehydrate you. The itching could be a sign of dehydration. You have to drink at least 64oz of water plus the water you intake for protein and food. Second, your body is going through a drastic nutritional change make sure you are getting the right Vitamins. Third with this nutritional change comes new allergies, likes, and dislikes. Look at what you are eating. Low carb diets could cause Keto Rashes. Look up, Keto Rash or Candida.

I am currently 5 weeks post op, I eat pureed foods tuna yogurt blended chicken what ever I can get in with HI Protein as the shakes make me throw up or almost throw up at this point, My multi also makes me very very sick I try to get at least 1 in a day sometimes I cane even get that in I drink lots of water--- I just dont no what Im doing wrong to cause the itch--- I do try my best some days are better then others but at this point I just want it to stop--- I can not take benadryl as I do have kids I have to tend to and work I can not sleep my life away and that is what will happen I think Ill end up going in and at least have some labs done to make sure Im ok

I have never known it to be a common symptom, and neither would I wait around, as getting checked by your doctor wont do any harm. My friend had itching that was not even that bad and it was her liver, it could be nothing, but i dont think you should just self treat without seeing anyone.

I am deff going to go in to the local walk in clinic right after I get out of work to make sure it isnt my liver that is what worrys me too its a scary thought so I think I will just go in an get everything checked out and make sure everything is OK

Dont worry! its probably nothing! but ive learnt my lesson to not get things checked as soon as i notice it , ive been in hospital since last sunday with some issues, i wished i sorted sooner, so best to get it sorted sooner and it be nothing than wait

Are you taking an anti-acid?

Are you taking in air when you swallow?

Do you let the food slowly slide down your throat?
