Digestive Problems?Im 16. For about a year now I've been having problems with my digestive tract. Well I'm not even sure if it has to do with my digestive tract.
I've been to the hospital about 3 times (within the year of this problem) for the same problem and they keep writing it off as a peptic ulcer. But things just dont add up.
When they prescribed antacids (pepcid,zantac) it would make me feel better for about 2 weeks and then it would make me feel even sicker than before. So I'd stop taking them.
I would then get better and it would stop, for I'd say about 2 maybe 3 weeks. And then the symptoms would come back.
My symptoms are:
About 3 minutes into eating something my stomach would feel like it was on fire as though I'd had eaten glass. I'd have to drink something to dull the pain.
Then around the time I'd be going to bed my stomach would start hurting as though someone had stabbed me.
Then I'd feel severly nauseause as though ready to vomit.
I'd then break out into a cold sweat.
Sorry they only allowed me a certain amount of space. So I will continue.
After the cold sweat I'd start burping as though I'd have drank a glass of soda.
I'd still feel very nauseouse (sorry I always have trouble spelling that).
I would be up all night and then when morning came I couldnt stay awake any longer and I'd fall asleep.
And then when I'd wake up I think that I'm better but as soon as I would eat something the process repeated itself all over again.
When I'd go to the hospital they did an ultrasound and said nothing was there that they could see. Did blood work.
So the first time they said gastroentiris gave me some zantac and sent me home.
Second time they did blood work. Took a pregnancy test (see what use that'll do I'm not sexually active). And told me peptic ulcer deisease.
I believe it has something to do with my stress. But yet when I'm calm and happy I still get sick.
Ive missed school so much that I've been held back.
Also I forgot to mention that I become very constipated when this happens.
And the hospital has never checked me for H-Pylori.
They would always tell me when I went to the hospital to keep on a bland diet.
Ive been on a bland diet for over a year now. The one thing thats really gets me is I havent losed large amounts of weight maybe 15 pounds at the most.
I dont eat spicy foods anymore.
I havent drank soda in over 6 years.
I drink water, green tea, and fruit juices but mostly water.
Ive tried so many things with my diet but nothing works.
Ive even tried just saltines for a whole day to see if the way I was eating was the matter but Id still get sick.
Also my uncle (who doesnt live with me) is showing the same symptoms and signs as me.
And it seem we both start feeling better, get worse, comes back, both at the same time.

ok im no specailist, but i think you have a small bruse or a small cut in your stomach, so i think you should aviod alcohol,aviod any hard stuff, try white rice and yougurt, and increase your fibre intake, if all else fails go see a doctor immedaitley.

I have digestive problems also. Here are some possible causes:
(1) Sensitivity to bread products (gluten) or milk products (lactose)
(2) Irritation caused by caffeine or carbonated beverages
(3) Spicy foods
(4) mint
(5) garlic or onions
(6) Orange or lemon juice
Has your doctor suggested any dietary restrictions?

doctors will not help you unless you are extremely firm with them.... i don't know whats wrong with you but maybe going to a naturopath would be extremely helpful for you like it was for me. i got tired of doctors just writing me some antibiotics perscription and not ever really helping me... they refuse to listen ... my naturopath spends a lot of time with me and asks tons of questions to get to the bottom of my issue
