  Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.

I am not sure I understand what u r saying the issue is or from....u drank caustic soda?....not sure what that is. or what surgery u had and what issues u r having.

Can u explain?

after the opperation to remove the burnt glands and parts of my intestines i am struggling to eat and its getting worse the last month has been hell as i cannot eat anything everything i eat gets blocked and pushes back up which leads to me vomiting it all out again there was medication that i used back then but since my mom and dad divorced and did not keep any records i cant find any info and thus the treatment has stopped i now have to go for another opp but its taking forever with the state hospitals my first appointment is only at the 1st of august and then they will make a new one to go for a barium swallow and then another for this and that i need something in the mean time so that i can atleast have some food going down

thanks and regards
gert

  Have u tried the protein shakes to start off, to see how they stay down?

I would highly suggest u ask in the expert forum as we r not Drs here, and I have no idea what would be the best way for u to go.....

U also should be able to retrieve ur medical records.....how long ago was this?


Going forward request copies of all tests so u have ur own records, that way u do not have this issue again.

Caustic Soda is a term I'm not sure I understand.  Are you referring to the material that is used to remove blockages in plumbing pipes?

  I had asked about that as well.....I have no idea....what could it be?
