I had a hair analysis done by a doctor that also practiced alternative medicine. However, it did not diagnose the problem, which turned out to be gastropareis (delayed stomach emptying) I think this is a condition that is more common than thought, because the doctors aren't catching it and doing a gastric emptying test, which is easy and painless. This can cause nausea, bloating, fatigue, constipation, and other symptoms. It can come and go; it can be as a result of another illness, or following an illness; it is affected by hormones, and is different for everyone, which is one of the reasons it is difficult to diagnose. Ask your doctor about it.
how do you have the hair analysis done? can yougo to your own doctor? I have heard of this before but never found out how it was done. I have had the same problemsever since my five year old was bor I was very sick when i was pregnant with her and then after it seemed to not totally go away. I gt waves of nausea just like shesaid it doesnt matter if i have eaten or not. can someone please help! thanks Nicole
See the comments above in another post about a gastric emptying test; you could have delayed gastric emptying, which could cause those problems.
A friend of my daughter's who is 20 was having a lot of trouble with her stomach after taking antibiotics. It killed the bacteria in her stomach. She decided to eat yougurt with active cultures (like Dannon...check the label)..anyway..in a few days she felt better.
My daughter just had her gallbladder taken out. She is also a college student (19)...she had been having trouble with pain and nausea for 18 months..had just about every test imaginable. Aciphex is on of the meds she tried..it made her worse! reflux so bad it was coming all the way into her mouth...
You should do some research on finding a good gastroenterologist. Obviously something happened to your system after the mono.
Good luck!
Have you been on any medications, such as antibiotics? There are so many different things it could be. You should get two tests done. One is a stool analyst test done by the Great Smokies Lab and a hair analyst test. This will show everything that going on in your gut, especially the good and bad bacteria/parasites/yeast and the hair test will tell if you have any deficiencies that would cause this.
