Vomiting, Nausea, Right Upper Quad Pain And Weight Loss... Posted: 05-08-05 16:49pm
I am writing in hopes that I can have
someone else's point of view. I am under
a doctors care (actually my primary and gi
specialist) but want some help because
this process is taking way to long.
In january I started having horrible right
upper quad pain, nausea, vomiting and have
lost over 21 pounds since late january of
2005. I have had a normal cck,
ultrasound of my entire abdomen and
gallbladder, normal ct of my abdomen. My
egd was normal along with my all of my
laboratory results. I do work in the
intensive care unit but have been trying
to be a patient only and not a over
bearing person with a vast amount of
knowledge in the medical field. My next
step is a stomache emptying test. ( you
eat eggsalad with contrast and then watch
it go through your system) as of now I
can tolerate jello, clear liquids and some
other light foods. I have been
hospitalized numerous amounts of times for
my vomiting which didn't stop and caused
electrolyte imbalances and dehydration.
My gi specialist is still talking about my
gallbaldder and possibly seeing a surgeon.
What else could be wrong with my
gallbladder? I don't have stones, no
sludge has been seen, my ef was normal
81%. I am at a loss and continue to
loose weight and feel horrible. If I
wake up in the morning on a day I have to
work and am nauseated I just don't eat.
No one wants a nurse that is vomiting
taking care of them.

Stomach Problems, Vomiting And Nausea Posted: 05-16-05 19:46pm
I too have been dealing with stomach
ailments since november. It started off
with having bronchitis, it then led to
vomiting everyday, nausea, difficulty
swallowing, no appetite, loose stools etc.
By february, after medication, blood
work and other tests, I had a scope done.
They found the h-pylori bateria,ulcers,
swollen esophagus and polyops. They gave
me antibiotics for the bateria, and
removed the polyops. Since then I have
had constant nausea, some vomiting,
difficulty swallowing, loose stools and
some stomach pain. I graduated from clear
liquids to now my diets consists of eggs,
toast, peanut butter ( but now that is
even bothering me) and dry cereal. I
have recently gone through a swallow eval,
and ct scans of my abdominal and pelvic
areas with the results coming back
negative. I am about to give up. I
have been researching the nissen
fundoplication surgery and am going to ask
my doctor about it and see if I am a
canidate for it. Anyone have any
suggestions?

Emerzrn: Is Your Liver Ok? Posted: 05-17-05 20:04pm
Sadly, those are classic symptoms of a
hepatic disorder. Have you had your
albumin, afp, ggtp etc. Tested? Perhaps
a liver ultrasound would be best.
Hepatits, cancer etc. Can present with
those symptoms.
Good luck to you.

Constant Nausea And Pain In Right Upper Quadrant Posted: 01-23-06 08:36am
Well dearies,
i too, have been having this problem since
2003, and let me tell you something.
You need to get a barium-burger test done
to see if you have a twisted stomach.
Dr. William chey, in rochester, ny might
be able to help you find a solution (my
solution? Don't eat any fat, keep it
out of your body, forever. . .)
keeping away from fat is hard for me
because I am a reformed junk food junkie.
However, I had an operation for
malrotation of the stomach. Feeding
tube placed in my abdomen, that I would
have to turn three times a day: all to
prohibit my stomach from twisting into a
knot. Well, for the most part, it
worked, however, I also have gerd, and
need to watch everything I eat, because
even the slighest wrong taste in my mouth
will completely repulse me into a vomiting
frenzy. Joy! >:{
so, we fix gerd with protonix, and we fix
stomach, but I am still in miserable
pain/taking vicodin to quell that rain.
One other thing you might want to check on
(which I suffered from) is h. Pylori.
A bacteria in the stomach which basically
eats away the lining of the stomach.
Rather brutal amount of antibiotics, but
got rid of that as well.
So, what am I trying to say? I'm in
this shitty thing with you, and I am
working on many different theories to help
myself and others feel better.
We still don't know why i'm in so much
pain, and why i'm still vomiting every
day, but I know I will find ways to better
myself, and focus on my artwork and
music.
Try yoga, pilates, and very gentle
exercises to help tighten your insides.
It's a pain in the ass at first, but when
you start seeing the benefits, you don't
want to stop.
Good luck to you, and please, check those
two symptom related diseases. Might
make some sense out of the matter.
