Thanks bunnie, but gum makes it worse... I'm desperate... I have no idea what I can eat and what I can't, and sometimes I can have some foods and days later they give me a painful attack... so far the only things that seem to help is oatmeal porridge (yuck), puking and it seems the Accupuncture might have helped for a bit too...
Since I was 13 I wanted to become bulimic, I've always been over eating but I was never able to actually go through with it... now it happens naturally and sometimes I do have to force it... I know it's wrong but I really need to lose this weight...
Its not a vanity thing anymore, I need to lose weight for my own sake, my feet, my back, possibly my stomach issues and the fact that my main dream is to become an air hostess and there is a clear weight demand

maybe you can go to webmd.com
they have this thing where you put in all your symptoms...and they give you a good idea of what you might have...and if you can treat it from home.

I have tried that on Danish sites... and my doctor is still unsure, and I've had this since January... it seems it's too much acid but I just hate not knowing and the pills just aren't working... I just hope they fix it before I start school in August, it will be a nightmare attending school, moving and what not with this going on...
But I guess that's life...

Hmm...this is so weird. Cause I've had acid reflex my entire life and things have always worked...I wonder if maybe it's an infection. I really hope not :/

I really don't know, I just feel a bit lost and I don't feel like my doctor is taking me seriously... but on the other hand I don't call her every time I have an attack... I'm just quietly accepting this
I think I will talk to her about it at my cognitive therapy session on Tuesday, I am losing my patience with this to be honest... and I have also noticed my eyes have lost their glow and have a slight yellow/unhealthy tinge... I have always been so proud of my eyes
On the other hand, this condition is the perfect diet (apart from the throwing up) I can't eat most unhealthy foods and I am slowly but steady losing weight so it does have a positive side...

...maybe it's a kidney problem instead of just your stomach?

I don't think so, the pain is concentrated around the place where my gallbladder is, my liver too... but I don't know... I had a scan for gallstones and that was negative

I wish I could help you more...but with what you gave me i put them in a symptom scanner; and it came out with Hepatitis B...i don't think that's right.  |

I'm pretty sure that's not it... I checked that too and the symptoms doesn't match completely.. I just hate that my doctor doesn't take this seriously... it's been going on since January, we're in May now!

then maybe you should get a new doctor--or head to the hospital, I'm sure they have an E.R or clinic that you can go to--they'll probably be able to help you more than your doctor.

You see, when I first got ill, I panicked and called an ambulance... I spent 5 hours in pain all alone in a hospital bed, they just checked my blood and my other body fluid and then they sent me home... so hospitals are no use either

Apparently they've decided that it's best not to go ahead with the surgery for my grampa. They said the hernia doesn't seem to be bothering him, and that a surgery would be taking an unnecessary risk. He has Alzheimer's, and they told us that would probably take him before anything else. I don't know exactly what stage he's in, but I'm sure he doesn't remember who I am, or even who my father is. It breaks my heart into pieces because it's like his whole personality is completely lost now. I couldn't look him in the eyes when I was telling him that I loved him, because I knew he was wondering why.  |
