My story begins in the year 2012. In July of that year, I began to experience severe symptoms of gastroenteritis. My symptoms included severe dyspepsia or indigestion, weight loss, inappetance and nausea sometimes accompanied by vomiting. Up to this point in my life (age 57) I dont recall ever experiencing any chronic or acute gastrointestinal issues except for the very occasional stomach flu,

The last 2 months have been horrible. Very much a rollercoaster ride. Doctors don't know what's going on. 

2 months ago I fell ill with what I thought was a gastro bug. Symptoms were lethargy, stomach cramps, constant nausea, occasional diarrhoea, loss of appetite and weakness. I went through all the tests and they all came back clear. Very frustrating as I feel like the

Hello, Reading the experiences is so heartbreaking. I want to share what has helped me. For 2 yrs now I have had so many scary symptoms from reflux and wasnt sure what it was. I was convinced I would die at times. i went to 3 Dr's and the ER. They all said this will fix you but this is what really helped me. I drink only Alkaline water, I do not eat raw fruits or veggies that are hard and crunc

My story is about my son Michael.  On Valentine's day, 2015 I got a call from Michael explaining that he had thrown up and it looked like coffeee grounds.  I told him he needed to get to the emergency room right away because he was bleeding.  A short time later he called me to tell me that he made it to the ER and they had diagnosed him with esophogeal cancer, stage IV with metas

Hello everyone! I am an 18 year old girl who has been throwing up my whole life. I have always had a bad relationship with food, but now it's worse than I could ever imagined. For a while I just thought i couldn't eat greasy or fried foods because i would be nauseous all of the time. When i was 16 I was diagnosed with a peptic ulcer in my stomach. So for the next few years, i was treated for th

I've had indigestion issues all my life but at age 35 I began taking PPI's which eliminated any need for antacids and I could eat/drink anything without concern. Two years ago, age 58, I woke up with the taste of acid in my mouth which I had never experienced.

I went to see a Gastro Dr, had endoscopy, ph monitoring, and motility test. Found out my LES doesnt close, my reflux was n

Being constipated is something very familiar to me and has been something I've struggled with for as long as I can remember. I thought having a bowel movement maybe once a week was normal. I had always had stomach pains, but I just dismissed them. When I was 15 my stomach pain got significantly worse. We finally went to the Doctor and it turned out that I was lactose intolerant. After cutting d

This all started sometime in June this year..  I had lunch and slept off... On waking up, it was just like my whole chest to stomach area was filled up. I had never felt anything like it brfore.. I was so scared because of Covid-19 so I didn't go to the hospital... I got anti biotics because I felt I just had chest congestion due to a cold. It got worse till I later discovered it might be

Hi,

I thought I would share my story. I am in my early twenties and have been suffering with IBS for 7 years. Before this illness started, I was a straight A student, very ambitious, confident and sociable. I first started seeing symptoms after I was pushed into a dirty lake by someone as a practical joke and I ingested some of the water. Since then, my grades dropped drastically,

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was June 25, the day that Michael Jackson died. I was watching it from the family flooring store I was working out on my laptop, and I had been drinking V-8 juice and the V-8 fruit juice when it hit me. I thought I was having a heart attack, the pain behind my breast bone was so bad it felt like I had been shot.
