46 yr old male.I just got out of the er at a hospital for constant stomach pain that's been on and off for years. But finally got to a point I was vomiting traces of blood.(nausea,vomiting, burning,bloating, cramping,etc.). Had cat scan, colonoscopy /endoscopy performed. Crohns, appendix, gall bladder,ulcerative coilitis, ulcers,kidney,liver diseases,stones all ruled out by a gastroenterologist(?) doctor. For this issue, I was prescribed protonix for acid reflux and librax for the stomach distress, and phenegan for nausea. Am also on paxil for depression, ambien for sleep, nasal sprays(allergies), creams for skin conditions and told to go on mostly an all protein diet and cut out carbs. I had been taking every otc up until this point, phazyme, maalox, immodium,etc. Have diarrhea probably 2-3 times a week. Always have gas. I would like an opinion on his findings/prescriptions and how I can actually get to the root of my problems. I have headaches, sinus allergies,skin problems(eczema/psoriasis), fatigue, insomnia, and now major depression because of this ongoing stomach issue for years, but I don't know where to start. Tired of taking all these drugs, sprays and creams for all my problems.Where should I start?South beach diet as doc suggested, or herbs,enzymes, acidopholis, colon cleansing??? Too many products on net to know what to do!!Please help!! :cry:
