Ask your doctor about fruits adding to your stomach issues. There is a lot of acid in many fruits. I can not eat fruits because of the pain. Veggies, nuts, tuna, tilapia, chicken are OK. Beans, pork sausage are not. Maybe a consult with a dietitian would help you.
Sending lots of positive energy and prayers.

Does an warm bath or warm towels on your belly lessen the pain any?
(i'm new here)
Ayla67 I would seriously talk to your Dr. about getting off the Thorazine. Thorazine was never meant to be used as a 24/7 management drug. It's meant for serious mood disorders and meant to be used to get patients to a manageable state so that they can be put on lesser drugs for management. Your on 2 other anti-nausea meds and there are many other options for sedation.
To track your pain issues, you might want to start a pain diary so that you can show your Dr.'s how your pain does and what it's trend is.
Take care,
Kat
