I try and do my own smoothies but sometimes even that makes you want to vomit, so if you can open a can, that's good enough!! have been drinking Ensure meal replacements on those days when I can't really stomach much real food and also to fill get rid of that 'empty' feeling in my belly when I am not actually hungry (whihc is rare) but it just feel like I need something. I did this wiht my first pregnancy as well.
Once the appendicitis symptoms appear, it can take as little as 24 to 72 hours for the infected appendix to rupture. If the appendix ruptures, the infection can spread to other areas of the abdomen, increasing the risk of serious complications and making treatment more difficult.
The most serious complication of appendicitis is rupture. The appendix bursts or tears if appendicitis is not diagnosed quickly and goes untreated. Infants, young children, and older adults are at highest risk. A ruptured appendix can lead to peritonitis and abscess. Peritonitis is a dangerous infection that happens when bacteria and other contents of the torn appendix leak into the abdomen. In people with appendicitis, an abscess usually takes the form of a swollen mass filled with fluid and bacteria.
