Every-time I think we have the answers to my gastro issues and get a day or 2 free from them, they start all over again.

I CAN'T fucking live like this, stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. and no one can tell what's wrong.

Again I can't do this

The only test left for the doctors to do is an endoscope, to check the upper stomach and Esophageal track.

Sorry.....don't know a whole lot about this stuff, but my dad has Crohn's, and it and Colitis both run in my family, so I mentioned it.

Sorry you're having a hard time finding the problem. That must be extremely frustrating.

sorry if this is annoying, but are you eating things like probiotics/yogurt/miso soup ?

calming things to build the good bacteria back?

You may have already checked but maybe you have a parasite or something. I would be trying out a homeopath and if you have tried that already I am sorry (((((HUGS)))))

Had similar problem, caused by anxiety. Used meditation tape and clonopin, finally better. Took 2 months, absolutely miserable. Hope docs can help u.

I was just thinking...possibly parasites, like dark said.

when is your endoscopy?

i have the same problems that you do....my scope revealed severe erosive gastritis and an ulcer.

i hope you get an answer soon and feel better. xo

It must be miserable Wiccan.. I would imagine parasites was one of the first things they looked at...
I hope the endoscope can give you that answers and treatment you need sweetie..
Gentle hug of comfort for you..xo

Haven't had it scheduled yet, waiting on Gastro Doc to see if that's the next step, but like I said, it's one of the only 2 tests I haven't had. the other is a CAT scan.

I'm so sorry your gastro troubles are wearing on you Wiccan. You must be miserable. Hopefully your last two tests will find the culprit. Take care buddy.

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...
