Q: Stomach Problems

My dad is a 63 year old man. He is also a diebetic. He has been sick now for a month and hospitalized for a week. They have run every test you can think of and have found nothing. His symptoms started out with being sick at his stomach and hurting under his right rib. The hurting is gone now but he is still sick. He says that just talking about food makes him sick. Can anyone help? Patty1971

Hi Patty

Well, recently I have had the same symptoms. Finally, after tests and meds and more tests and more meds the doctor discovered that it is my kidneys. Not kidney disease, rather a severe infection. Thing is , I have not ran a fever. My stomache burns so that I cannot stand up straight at times. I wish the best of luck to your father, and peace for your stressing mind.

God bless
