Hi I am a 25 year old female suffering from digestive problems for almost 2 months now. I was originally admitted to the emergency room for severe upper right abdominal pain and severe nausea. I was released the same day with the instructions to "eat an apple" and was told the lining of my stomach was severely inflamed. After contacting my regular doctor he put me on Protonix which did not help at all. I stayed on the medication for three weeks and am now daily suffering from the following:

*Constant nausea
*Stabbing upper abdominal pain intermittantly
*Dull ache on left hand side of upper abdomen
*Extreme fatigue
*Foul smelling uncontrollable gas that is really embarrassing
*Extremely foul smelling defecation that actually makes me gag
*Dizziness
*Urgency to defecate. I have to stop whatever I am doing and RUN to the bathroom

I drink lots of water, and eat fruits and vegetables regularly. I do not eat meat, and have a limited dairy intake. This is getting to the point of not being able to function, and my doctor ran bloodwork that came back normal. When I was in the ER they did a CAT scan which showed my stomach lining being inflamed. I asked for a referal to a specialist but it hasn't come through yet. IF anyone has any ideas, suggestions, or a place to turn to I'd really appreciate it. I don't know how much longer I can keep feeling like this. Thanks!
