Strange Digestion Problem!!

Posted By Troy on August 07, 1998 at 02:21:58:







Hi, I have a friend who is concerned about a digestive problem,
but plans on waiting a week or more to find out if the problem
goes away.  For the past  two days she  has noticed  that
anything she eats goes straight through her system, just as
if it had  never been digested.  Although these aren't the
prettiest examples she had some bean and bacon soup, it came
out looking like it was straight of the can... and some chips she
ate came out looking like a bunch of chewed up chips, other than
that she  hasn't eaten because she is worried.
She has a burning sensation in the back of her mouth and a pain
in her throat and a lot of pain in her stomach and pain all
the way down to her intestines.  There is a lot of stomach
activity, gurgling and whatnot, she is bloated, and also burps
alot.  I thought it may be hypochlorhydria, but i am not sure
if that can make sense considering the food was not digested
at all.
I would appreciate a very quick response.  I'm worried about
her, but I can't exactly force her to do anything.
Thank you very much.
