i have had a medical condition that doctors cant figure out. for the last eight or nine months, I have been having trouble eating. either I get full after a few bites or my stomach gets really bad pains.
i have been given mostly every test going. and nothing is showing up.
i try to force myself to eat so I get something into me. but it only makes my stomach worse. some days are better than others where I can get something into me. I am up to maybe a small meal a day but that is it.]
does anyone have any ideas.

I have no ideas! I do hope they can find a solution for you, i know how frustrating it can be to be unwell and not know what it is.

What about protein shakes/nutritional shakes. Can you at least drink something with some nutritional value? Dunno what could be causing your problem.

I am assuming they would've done a full barium swallow as well as an endoscopy and a oesphegeal (sp?) manometry?

Have them look at your Gull Bladder it sounds like a lot of the same symptoms

To be honest it does sound like Gall bladder. Me, my Mum and my sister (who is only 19) have all had it now. I used to get terrible pains if I ate anything fatty, like butter or chips or full up if I ate a salad.

Most Doctors would not guess Gall Bladder straight away, as it generally happens to women of 30+.


I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for something I'm not...

I would suggest seeing a naturopath. Perhaps you have food intolerences you aren't aware of. Trying cutting out wheat and dairy perhaps for a week. If you can eat as many fresh, raw vegetables and fruits also. No processed foods, added sugar nasties of fried stuff either!!!
