Great difficulty eating and with bowel movement Posted: 03-04-08 17:29pm
I have had issues with my stomach for the
past 10 years.
I was always a healthy person who loved
exercising. Then in Summer of 1997 at the
age of 24 I noticed a slight discomfort in
my stomach when I exercised. I would feel
very bloated to the point of wanting to
throw up. About a month after I first
noticed this happening I was no longer
able to exercise. Anytime I would try to
just run, I would start to dry heave.
After seeing my doctor I was send to a
specialist. The specialist had me on H
Pylori program. This didn't help.
I was then told that my gull bladder
needed to be taken out. It was taken out
however it did not help any.
I have had a camera into my stomach a few
times in the past few years however
nothing was ever found. After 2 years of
seeing my GI specialist I was told there
was nothing he could do and was send back
to my regular doctor.
Here's some symptoms I experience on daily
bases.
After eating [ even small amounts] I feel
very full and bloated. My stomach feels
very tense and closed.I have to take a
deep breath and release a deep burp in
order to feel a little better. If I am not
able to burp I will usually end up
throwing up the food I just consumed.
It doesn't matter what type of food I
consume. I have changed my diet a number
of times over the last few years to see if
anything will help.
I have had a real issue with bowel
movement. This wasn't always a problem. It
started about 5 years ago. I now consume
natural Senna tablets every night to help
with this[as per my doctor's
instructions]. My stool is very soft and
full of mucus. All the time.
Smoking and drinking definitely worsens my
condition.
The morning after drinking my stomach
feels like it's shut closed. Again I need
to release a burp to ease the tension in
my stomach however I can not do this. I
usually end up dry heaving the whole day.
[Needless to say I have quit drinking]
Any help or suggestions is greatly
appreciated

This could be related to allergies. Try
going to an allergist and have them do
skin testing for allergies. Dairy may be
causing some of this. Get it checked.
Simple changes may make all the difference
for you. Good luck.
