Tummy Trouble

[rachiemonster]

I have had digestive problems ever since I was born. As a young child I was consitantly drinking pedia-sure and pedia-lyte for my health. As a result, I've always been sick, at least once or twice a month. My condition seems to be worsening over the past few weeks. I can not hold down solid food and I'm currently on a diet of Pedia-sure and small amounts of soup. I do not feel hungry and every time I have something like Pedia-sure I feel stuffed instantly. Being in Germany it is hard to explain my sittuation to the doctors very well, so they did a Barium Swallow study on me and said my esophogus is fine. I know it is not my esophogus with the problem, because liquids would be comming up more often then solid food. I believe there is a blockage in my stomach or upper intestines that isn't letting solid food to pass, but still allows liquids through. I'm trying to get the German doctors to give me a endoscope so they can get a better picture of my stomach and upper intestines to look further into the problem. If anyone has heard of someone having these symptoms please let me hear what you think it may be.

Okay, well I hope you get that treated and everything turns out okay.

Sorry about that, my mother and I had a miscommunication turns out it was just IBD with a non cancerous tumor. Yes Ive had had two upper endoscopies and one lower.

Not to be impolite, but it seems unlikely that you have IBD, celiac disease, and stomach cancer.  It is very very unlikely that you have IBD and celiac disease because there isn't really any way of knowing if you have IBD without first treating the celiac disease.  Did they do an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy (lower endoscopy) on you?

Ok so I went to the doctor, turns out I have IBD, celiacs disease, and stomach cancer.

I've been going back and forth between doctors and now my German doctor wants to do further testing, but the American doctor wont even let me speak. He talked to me for three seconds and said I have Delusional Anorexia Nervosa. My German doctor who has spoken to me for great lengths of time and has been running tests on my esophogus wants to start running tests on my stomach. Seems as though the hospital I thought was failing me, is the only one who thinks I'm not insain.

I have no pain with this. No real symptoms except excessive weight loss, light headedness, dizzyness, and feeling like I'm about to faint. I know that all of this is due to my lack of interest in food. I've become lethargic and find every excuse in the book to get out of my marthon and golf training so I can come home and sleep. I know it can not be a hernia or cancer because there is no pain and it can not be a stomach ulcer because there is no blood in my stool or urine.
