about
You can ask me about ANYTHING, and I mean it. If I don't have an answer to give you, instead of making something up, I WILL find you somewhere to go where you will be able to find out what you need. My inbox is always open, and you are quite welcome to IM me on AIM. I think thats about all you need to know, but if you've got other questions...well...see above. =)
advice
Lately, it seems that no matter what I eat or drink, after a few minutes of doing so, I start feeling extremely nauseous and sometimes I even throw up. It's not voluntary; I don't do it on purpose so I'm not like bulimic or anything. Does anyone have any ideas on why this might be happening?
It was happening around May a few months ago too and I went to the doctor. They ran tests and everything but could find anything wronge medically.
Please keep in mind that no one here is qualified to give you medical diagnosis, doctor or not, online.
But I had the same thing going on about a year or two ago. I was reffered to a gastrointestinal specialist, and they decided to do an endoscopy procedure on me. That is when they put you under anesthesia, and run a small tube (About the width of a drinking straw) down your throat. The tube has a camera on the end, and sometimes various other attachments to collect samples of your esophagus/stomach lining. This makes it so they can see inside your stomach and see whats going on.
It turned out that I had Acid Reflux Disease, but instead of getting heartburn like most others, the acid would stay in my stomach, making the lining of my stomach inflamed and sensitive. Becasuse of that, my stomach was "smaller" and anything that touched the lining of my stomach made me feel sick. I was put on perscription Prilosec, and it got better.
You should ask to see a gastrointestinal specialist, chances are they will decide to do endoscopy to see whats going on. If for some reason you cannot make this appointment because of insurance issues or anything, ask your parents to buy you some Prilosec OTC (Over the counter) to try and see if that makes it any better.
