Q: Undiagnosed And Scared... Please Help.
asked by: Raene on January 19th, 2007

I am 17 yrs. Old and have been progressively getting sicker for over a year. The past 7 months have been the worst, with nearly constant abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, difficulty passing gas, middle back pain, extreme tenderness of the stomach, sides and back, heartburn and chest pain, occasional pale fatty stool, blood in stool(nright red) and vomit(both red and black). I was misdiagnosed with celiac disease, and since then have been found to have a hiatal hernia and barrett esophagus. My gastroenterologist is convinced something else is going on. In the meantime I have no energy and this is affecting my life greatly. I've dropped to 100 pounds, have had to temporarily stop my schooling, and go on sick leave from work, which I really can't afford. I am overwhelmed and running out of options, with my doctor getting no closer. If anyone has an opinion on what it could be, i'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
