Extremely Nauseous every day - 2 years and counting

Hi folks,

First time posting and came here after feeling like I've run out of places to look for help. Which is depressing beyond belief as I don't want to consider this could be never-ending.

It's effecting my ability to work to my best ability and my quality of life.

In a nutshell I feel incredibly nauseous every single day - from waking up (typically it's worse first thing) where I feel like I need to vomit (but never actually do) until the end of the day - where it tends to ease off slightly but the feeling is still there.

Some days it includes severe stomach cramps that I can only compare to food poisoning, where I can't get out of bed.

I'm 33 years old, male, and relatively fit and active (when I can)

Not really overweight - possibly a stone over what I feel is my peak (I'm 11.5) But this weight gain feels a bit inevitable when I physically don't feel up to exercising anymore.

I've cut out drinking - didn't help.

I've tried a gluten free diet - didn't help.

And I've done dietary and intolerance tests - nothing came up.

Visited my GP on 6 instances and he is at a loss - initially though it was stomach acid / reflux and have tried omeprazole and now pantoprazole which both seemed to reduce the sickness to a more 'manageable' level initially. I could just about get myself into the gym or run most days (although nowhere near able to put the same effort in as the feeling of sickness still there)

Recently it has gotten worse and worse. This has been going on for 2 years now.

I have been into hospital for an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy where they could find nothing of concern / nothing to explain it.

Now the GP has all but said he's at a loss and perhaps the best thing I can do is stay on omeprazole / pantoprazole indefinitely - but it's not really working now and longterm use is not even recommended.

Sorry for waffling. Bit of a hail mary - I was just hoping maybe someone out there has encountered something similar.

Thanks for listening

Ben
