I am at a complete loss as to what to do. I've been grappling with a stomach problem for a year. I'm being seen by an Internist, but everything takes so long. Months waiting to see him. Months before tests, scopes, etc. Months to wait to see him again. Months to try this drug. It's just endless waiting, in pain and nauseated, for yet another test, another drug, wait, wait, wait. I can't stand it anymore. What is wrong with me? Eating causes horrific stomach pain. I don't know what to do.

I struggled for a few years with extreem stomach pains...I ended going to a gastroenterologist and then ongoing tests for about another year to two years....finally they diagnosed me with gastroparesis and colitis. Both a direct result of prolonged, extensive abusue of anorexia. And yes it is very painful, extreme nausea, non self induced vomiting after meals because the food digests so slowly in your gut or takes so long to dump from your esphogus.I wish you the best of luck.

I'm curious. I am bulimic but do not have any stomach problems. Does it depend on how many years and how many times a week? I am down to about 3x a week or less. There was many years where it would be a couple of times a day.
