Posted , 9 users are following.

Been feeling sick for months

Had endoscopy a year ago and ultrasound on gallbladder

Only thing came back was fatty liver

Tried every tablet going for nausea and ibs. Buscapem etc

Nausea is just getting worse so got prescribed zofran. This is a pretty hardcore tablet to take it seems

Take tonight fir example felt sick after any food and stomach making loud noises. Rumbling in my throat and stomach ache as well as feeling sick. Tried ranitidine but nothing

Felt bad these last year but never this bad. Any advice guess one good think is never been sick but if it carries on this bad it's gonna happen

Really struggling to eat. Get pains for a few hours after no matter what I eat . Even drinking isn't good.

    Matt:

    At first when I read your symptoms, I thought that this was something I had written. I have exactly the same symptoms you are describing. I have felt this way for nearly a year but have gotten worse over the last 2 months.. Most of the posts that people have written are basically total idiots that have no clue what is wrong. Why they bother to post such stupid comments is ridiculous. The last thing you want to hear is people telling you to 'drink more water' or 'go to ER'. I'm sure you have already done those things and been to the doctor many times like I have, but to no avail.

    I've had the endoscopy, hida scan, blood tests, colonoscopy, CT scan, you name it, I've had the test done. I even had the "camera pill" and all they have determined is I have s fatty liver. I get nauseated every time I eat,I cramp, I bloat, I feel sick like the flu but it passes after about 4-6 hours. All your symptoms you describe I've have, I've also had every test done doctors can think of. As sick as I get from this flu like problem every time I eat is nearly equaled to the absurd rhetoric counsel people write on this blog that totally are wasting our time with their inane responses to your problem that you continue to suffer from. So far the only thing I have found for me is that very small portions of food and drink minimize the cramping, bloating, stomach pain and intestinal queasiness. I have found that if I eat more than 4-6 ounces of solid food and 6-8 ounces of liquid within a 2 hour window I get extremely sick with flu like symptoms for the next 4 hours. Doctors have suggested pancreatitis, IBS, as the only possible explanation. My gall bladder is functioning within normal parameters. I have no ulcers, however I am celiac, but I control it with a gluten free diet. I have even had food alergy tests and avoided anything that was likely to cause problems but that didn't matter, any food or drink, even water gives me cramping and distress. I would like to keep in contact to see if there is anything we can find that either offers hope or a solution to this as I often feel like I'm dying after i eat. It is very disconcerting. Almost as much as the ridiculous "helpful suggestions" that people post that have no clue what we are going through. My family doctor is determined to get to the bottom of this. My gastroenterologist gave up on me and suggested a pscologist. That was the last time I went there.

    By the way, do you take any pain meds or opiats for an unrelated problem? Do you take other prescription meds? Are you experiencing excessive gas and bloating? That info may help. I'm hoping we can get viable answers without having to wade through the nonsense many posters write. The only good post I saw was the one about using a little ginger. You may try drinking 8 oz of apple juice with a teaspoon or two of Apple vinegar, you may be surprised at the calming effect of the cramping and nausea.

      I have been suffering form the same issues for YEARS. I have tried all the medications, diet changes and done all the tests. I've had it blamed on sinus drainage, IBS, Stress/Anxiety... but nothing has helped aleviate the misery any. Please - if either of you find any answers... please share. I'm desperate for help.

      I do take a lot of medications for other issues though. So, I cannot rule out that it is simply a side effect of all the other crap I have to take rolleyes

    I am going through this too!!! Been days I swore I was actually dying. In my case since I haven't really been eating since Aug I have lost over 50 lbs. My blood sugar is now affected and is extremely low ( one ER visit so far). There are two drugs I take together that that help with the stomach pain and I carry them with me always. They work for the nausea and stomach pain

    They are Reglan ( which my specialist wants me off of, NOT HAPPENING,and promethazine ( which really helps with the stomach pain). I also have fatty liver, but was diagnosed back in the early 90s

    All of my sympothems started after my cat died and i was going through extreme stress because of the finances. I also had 2surgeries where a doctor literally moved my stomach around and my esophagus and I have not been the same . He sent me home not able to eat solids both times. Two things that make my stomach happy ( normal) are Mu Shu and broccoli with garlic sauce. I have researched all this and it has something to do with the pH factor. I know this is no way to live and do spend too much time in bed cause these meds tend to make u very sleepy.I also want to know of anyone's success. BTW, have had 9 endos, and 5 barium studies. Am stopping at the camera thing etc till maybe this summer. Have found that 50 mil of trazanole makes the LES muscle work correctly and hence less heartburn and GERD.

    Hi Matt,

    These people really helped me.

    Sound like you need to do a series of liver/gallbladder flushes. 

    Naturopathic is always the best way to go in my book. The medical people won't tell you that because they just deal with sickness. Have you considered Txm ( Traditional Chineae Medicine?) Acupuncture and Herbs is MIRACULOUS! A skillful Chinese medicine doctor understand digestion balances. very well and they identify the underlying causes and treat it.

    Well this is a great forum. So glad I found it. I'm having a rough go at the moment myself. Peace to you, Brother😎????
