That's an intriguing problem you've got there. Sorry I can't shed any light on it for you, have never experienced anything like that, just wishing you the best unpicking what's going on.

Have you seen a doctor about it? It sounds serious

I havery been to over a dozen drs in 10 years, no one knows what it is, the closest guess is Dysautonomia, nervous system disorder, I get pain from anything I ingest so meds don't help, just doing homeopathy now, hoping it helps! I have tried 100's of things...literally :)

That's so horrible I'm sorry you have to go through that. Having ibs I can somewhat relate to having your insides attack you on occasion. If you are trying homeopathy try to get your hands on liquid silica. I find it helpful to reduce irritation in the gut. Hope you find something that works xxx

All I can do is say that stinks. BTW, I won't even ask if you've tried eating puree/juice only for a while. Or had MRI, nerve studies, etc...
But did anyone ask a neurologist what spinal nerves would be involved? I ask b/c a friend with a spinal cord injury had total gastric paralysis for a while, and after some surgeries for the spinal cord issues, his GI system did restart.

I did a allergy elimination diet many years ago. It ended up that one food cause that kind of global pain, but not stomach pain and that was orange juice. I learned later that it wasn't just orange juice, but any citrus fruit. When I reintroduced other foods I had other reactions, like stomach pain. There were many foods that caused problems after not eating them for a while. The book I was using recommended people go on a rotation diet. It is a complicated diet. You only eat a food every four days. What makes it more complicated is that the food includes not only that food but every other food it is related to. I wasn't making much money and that sort of diet seem impossible to follow, so I just did it for citrus, but no other foods.

Anyway, you might try to find a book on a rotation diets, and see if you can eat foods and foods they may crossreact to every four days. Also, the elimination diet I went on included lamb and rice which were supposed to be less allergenic. Have you tried starting with less allergenic foods?

As time went on, I found other things that caused problems, like anything related to chamomile--stomach cramps. So I have avoided what causes the worst symptoms.

Yup, have done every diet on the planet, I react to everything I ingest! Celery juice is the only thing that seems to be ok and it's supposed to help HC acid start working again, so I'm doing 16 oz daily on empty stomach, green tea also is ok for me. It's a vagus nerve issue my drs seem to think at this point and leaky gut, I have to keep going at any rate. thanks

Leo, I don't have insurance, but my docs think it's a vagus nerve issue and EBV issue, so I'm doing what I can to figure it out, homeopathy etc, manual therapies on my stomach, throat etc.

My point is that you may want to reintroduce different foods slowly, and with knowledge of how foods cross-react. After you reintroduce them you shouldn't have such severe reactions to them as you are having now. You can't really live on celery juice. You could also go to an allergist who specializes in food allergies. I was exactly afraid that if I stopped eating all the foods I reacted to I wouldn't be able to eat anything. But one thing does particularly cause me body pain and that is citrus, so that was one thing I could avoid fairly easily.

If this is a food allergy problem this is really the only way to address it by food alone, and as I said it is complicated. You could try every other diet in the universe and it wouldn't help with a multiple food allergy problem--

Anyway here is a link:

I use homeopathy, too. Haven't found anything that helps with citrus allergies.

Leaky gut and food allergies are linked, and most doctors either know nothing about it or very little.

I don't know anything about this particular book, but it may express (better) what I am trying to explain.

I have never found a diet that "cured" me, but figuring out the foods that bother me the most has been a help I think.

I have tried introducing foods since I just have pain from anything I eat, nothing changes, I do eat squashes, avocados and chicken and try adding sweet potatoes, quinoa, amaranth here and there, same pain, my docs think it's a nervous system problem which is what causes pain anyway. Thanks for your input.

Hi pilatesgooddess. I too have global pain, but only after eating certain foods. I cannot eat: wheat, gluten, dairy, rice, sugar, beans, certain nuts, or nightshades. If I consume gluten or sugar, I have global pain and get a terrible fibromyalgia flare. The other foods cause various symptoms. I did an elimination diet in 2013, and found that I had a dairy, rice, and gluten intolerance. As time went on I went on an anti-candida diet, (very similar to paleo) and my fibromyalgia symptoms were greatly improved. I also removed all nightshades from my diet. While following the anti-candida diet I also took anti-fungals and certain probiotics to address a leaky gut. My doctor (who is an integrative medical doctor), had me to follow an entire anti-candida regimen to help kill candida and re-balance the gut flora. Today I follow a paleo diet which eliminates the above mentioned foods as well as all grains. Following the paleo lifestyle along with removing other irritating foods have helped me tremendously. Maybe you can seek out the help of an integrative or functional medical doctor and they could help you with the gut issues. Have you been tested for food intolerances? Have you been tested for celiacs? What about chrohn's disease or ulcerative colitis? I hope you feel better soon!

I have the same problem no idea why I just get this and that from the doctors. I try what you do but I've added eating really small amounts forcing myself to stop every few bites. We even use the toddle squeeze bags like brown rice, spinach sweet potatoes while I'm cooking. I seem to do better if I have an easy to digest small snack around 4 before I ever try to start cooking. The squeeze bags even in the fruit section are easy to swallow , small, and easy to digest. If I don't go to empty, never get full it seems better. We also have been trying "Ibguard" it works great it's over the counter and once it gets in your system that all over, lower back and side pain improves. My gastroinoglist suggested stretching out for a few after a few bites so I stretch out in our recliner, it keeps my head up so no acid reflex but I reach to spread my body out. Hope some of this helps so sorry your going through this like you don't have enough on your shoulders. Hang tough, kimberly
