Feeling sick after meals??
Posted , 6 users are following.
For about 6 months now I have been dealing with some stomach issues. I feel really sick about 30-90 minutes after I eat each meal. I get nauseous, bloated, reflux (I have had GERD for 6 years, but it has never had these symptoms), heartburn, and get a mildly distended stomach. I am chronically constipated as well. There are days where it is so bad I am homebound; and others where I hardly feel any symptoms.
I have a GI specialist but she is very busy and seems to ignore me a bit. I just don't really know what to do anymore. I have had an upper endoscopy (normal) and an upper gi series (showed reflux). Any advise/ experiences??

EDIT: I also have fatigue and find it very hard to eat, I often miss meals due to the nausea (making me lose weight that I can't really afford to lose). I feel very full afterwards and seem full for hours and often have lots of regurgitation. If I have any pain (which is not too often, thankfully) it is in my lower abdomen.
My GI doc put me on Erythromycin three times a day (oral) but did not tell me why?

When you get the pain, does it move about? IBS could be one possibility but other causes will need to be ruled out first. Your best option is to keep going back to your doctor and ask for more tests until you get a firm diagnosis. I had to wait three and a half long months for an IBS diagnosis..

Have they checked if you have an intolerance ie gluten lactose
There are a few things it could be
Maybe get them to check your gallbladder (scan) pancreas
All of the above would cause what you’re describing
See a different gp and hopefully you’ll be feeling better soon

For 6 months you have been seeing a doctor who seems to ignore you and you go on suffering. You don't know what to do any more. Why don't you see another doctor?
