36 year old female needs advice for gastrointestinal disorder

Posted By Krystle (Philadelphia, Pa, Usa) on 12/12/2011

I am a 36 yr old female that has been suffering from a gastro problem for over ten yrs now. The problem is I can barely eat without getting sick. Seems like the only thing I can tolerate without getting sick is crackers and ginger ale. I can go for a few weeks and be fine, then suddenly I can eat something as simple as rice with gravy then I get stomach cramping accompanied by vomitting and nausea and diarrhea.

There will be a pain in the left side of my stomach that feels like something is stuck and not flowing properly. This will go on for hours until I finally go to the ER where they give me pain meds, IV fluids and GI cocktail and most times that patches me up til the next episode. I've had cat scans, xrays, gastric emptying studies, tested for celiac disease, gastroparesis, the whole nine yards and still no results. It's driving me crazy and I need help. I'm tired of suffering and want to live a normal life where I can eat more than a cracker without getting sick.... Please anyone reading this who can help me or offer any kind of feedback it would be greatly appreciated..

Even though you don't have celiac disease have you tried going casein and gluten free?

Read up on the health benefits of Mastic Gum. It is grown in Chios, Greece. It is a great supplement!

Hi, I am happy to have found cure for my gastritis and ulcers. I started drinking water in morning, 1.5 liters of it, first thing. After that u will feel a cool sensation in stomach. And gastritis and other problems will be gone in 10 days. Reason this works is that excess water helps rejuvenate mucus secretion that protects the stomach and intestines.

Good luck and God bless! Gautham
