I am having trouble distinguishing between hunger and nausea. Suggestions? I’m also having trouble with solid foods. They make me sick even though I’m taking tiny bites and chewing everything to death.

I'm having the same problem. My stomach hurts and feels like I'm hungry, but I know I'm not.

I'm on protonix and rantedine sp? Hopefully it will help soon, because I feel like a rock is in my stomach.

Im 5 weeks 3 days out.

Hope your gets to feeling better soon!

Just because the "timeline" says you're ready for solid foods doesn't mean that you, in particular, are ready. Some of us transition much more slowly than others. If solids are making you sick, go back to the softer foods and try again in a week. Also, which solids are you trying? Some are much more difficult to process than others.

Transitioning to the solid food stage can be difficult. There is no need to rush this transition. I found that softer foods (such as chili and soups) went down much easier than harder foods (such as steak and chicken), therefore I relied on these to a greater degree. I included some recipes at the end of the following article.
