Oh my god, the same thing happened to me over the summer. Everytime I ate I would been in agony for hours, just crying from the pain. I ended up getting an endoscopy and they found that my stomach was overproducing acid. Then my doc put me on protonix and that made a world of difference.

What are the doctors doing to try and find the source?

I still feel pain from food and I am doing my best keeping it down. I have been an anorexic and bulimic for years. People rarely understand men with eating orders unless it is overeating. Unfortunately a few years ago the medication I was taking made me gain 80 pounds in a year. It was horrible, So I made sure I gained 20 more pounds to be able to get gastric bypass surgery. I hate to say it was very lucky that i gained that weight. My stomach was turned inside out around my diaphragm from Bulimia. They said I would have died within two years. I was very ill after that surgery. I had an infection, pneumonia, and a collapsed lung. . Due to the fact I had an opened would in my stomach and had nursed to come in and change my dressing, the would made me lose more weight then I was supposed to. That was in 2002 and sometimes I still haven't learned my lesson, There is fraying around my esophagus. I am a multiple and several of the alters still have food issues. It is a hard thing to get beyond. All you can do is live everyday and be proud of yourself every time you get through a day. You all are a lor younger than me. So please take care if yourselves, You won't feel too great if you got to the point I did. I am still fighting it and I won't let it in. I know where it came from and the person who unfortunately was the cause of me going in that direction is not in my life anymore. Take the bull by the horns and realize we all have a reason to live

Make sure to have them check for gallstones. I am 14 and after my bout of Anorexia I would get horrible stomach pains that would cause me to stop eating and cry for hours. It normally lasted about a week and would happen every three months. So deffinatly look into that. Hope I helped.

I am sorry for your pain- I am glad you mentioned though! I am far into my disorder, but everytime I attempt to get out my stomach pain only heightens the difficulty.... it makes it hard to find motivation when i know ill be in such pain after any type of food! dont give up though. I too wonder as you do if the ed voices play on some notion of discomfort and heighten it to not wanting to consume anything.

sorry thank u
