My stomach hurts when I eat.

This, as you can imagine, is very annoying.

*sigh*

Since Saturday evening, after we tried a new restaurant. No nausea or anything, so I don't *think* it's food poisoning. If I take small sips of liquid, that's okay, but if I eat anything solid, I get either an immediate or eventual (like within 15 minutes) pain in my gut. Grrr.

One is wondering where in your tummy the pain is occuring? Depending on the location of the pain, what you may be experiencing is gallstones. Of course if you have no gallbladder then that will be moot :)

It's up high, just barely below my sternum.

That's in about the same place as I used to get my gallstone pains.

Mine were stabbing pains just below my ribs slightly on the right hand side. They could last anytime up to 4 hours usually (worst one was 16 hours!). In the meantime a way to possibly reduce them is try reducing (or avoiding if you can) dairy or animal fats as they tended to trigger my pains.

IANAD but I'd recommend getting it checked out.

That shit can be cumulative, y'know.

I wish you could get a vacation (for whatever definition of "vacation" would provide you with sufficient stress-relief to make you feel better).

The thought of a vacation just made me cry at my desk, so you may have something there. ;-/

It's a shame it's not easier to transfer the breaks, isn't it? Though I guess we're both getting examples of being able to - hope your turn comes around again soon.
