Crippling Side Pain

Posted , 2 users are following.

Im 29, i suffer from anxiety, depression, Hiatial Hernia and slight gastritis. almost a year ago, i started noticing that i couldn't burp after meals and it started to make me really bloated. fast forward to about 6 months ago, i had no appetite, forced vomiting every time i tried to eat regardless of size or type of food. I have to drink something extremely carbonated and massage my belly and force out a gigantic burp just to make the bloating go down. my stools are always narrow and up until a month ago when i passed gas for 4 hours straight, i only eat one small meal a day. my stomach is fine according to an emptying test i did, and my bloodwork, ekg, CT scan, Colonoscopy, Upper Endoscopy and X rays all come back fine. I've been trying everything and for some reason i just get so backed up and i have no appetite until about after 2 days of starving myself. please let me know if you have any answers, i just want my life back while i still have control over my emotions......

    hi sterling, this sounds like chronic gastritis, where food comes back up. has anyone checked whether your flap that is meant to be shut at the top of your throat, is closing ok? something is obviously going very wrong! keep pushing to know what is going wrong, don't leave it. it could be an ulcer, gastritis or something else. i am no gastric specialist!

      i know they said its possible it could be my pyloric or my oddi sphincter not working since there was some erosion and inflammation of my stomach and esophagus. problem is i have no insurance and everytime i go to the ER they tell me to go see my Doctor or a GI Specialist. How if i dont have insurance. Thanks for the advice!
