Feeling sick after eating

I recently have started feeling sick when I am eating and for a while after I am eating. I have no idea why does anyone have any ideas

[cfirefly]

Does it happen with everything you eat? Can it happen with salad as well as with fatty foods? Do specific kinds of foods trigger it more often?
Could also have something to do with certain medicines you are taking. If you are female birth control can sometimes be a culprit for something like this.

[myproblem]

This happened to my sister, and it turned out her gallbladder had stopped working. You can have a HIDA-scan to evaluate the function of your gallbladder.

[Paris47]

This also happened to me, and a physical\blood work resulted in my having Hep C, now doing treatment for that health issue, hope your able to get some tests, and the results aren't as serious.

hi, i been reading up on what you have written, and its right since i had a baby in decemer after i eat i feel sick and some times i am sick, and ive seen my gp and ive had blood tests i havent yet got results but my gp told me its a high possibilty that it my pill injection thats making me feel like this, and if it not its my food that im eatting like fatty foods im not over weight or anything infact im under i weight 6.13 and im 5foot 4 and im only 18. so if you feeling ill when eatten its best to get checked out :) x

[bopsiebeth]

this happens to me and i haven't been able to find out whats wrong. i have had the birth control injection , but it statred months before having that. help   :(

[SassyLassie]

I don't know what is wrong, but, I have the exact same feeling. I can be really hungry, but, I will eat a couple of bites and I am sick as a dog, and feel so bloated. I have been to doctors and all they tell me is it is stress related. My Naturopath has put me on digestive aides, but, they make me sick too. All the tests they have taken have come back normal too.  I don't care what I eat, drink or take, I get so sick and bloated. I wish someone would find something. I do have a hiatal hernia, so that might be some of my problem, plus, I AM under tremendous stress.

So, you are not alone, if I ever find out what it is, I will let everyone know. I know I am tired of this, it has been going on for over a year.

[lo247]

hi i have been sick during and after eating for the past 2 months. after reading everything you guys have written it all seems we are in a viscous circle of stress related stomach upset. i do believe that the longer we stress the worse it gets and the worse it gets the more we stress especially because it seems no one can help us. i also have sleeplessness and gas that go along with the bloat. has any one figured out anything more about the pill having to do with it? i always seem to get my period before i am supposed to and i get a lot more sick then. if i dont take the pill i wont get my period at all and i break out on my chest. so i take it to regulate things but now i get 2 periods!! has anyone with this taken a no hormone IUD? i was thinking of regulating my hormones with flax/sesame oil does anyone have any info on this?>

[nickname762]

I have been experiencing sick feeling after eating - anything. No sickness, until after I eat.  The sick feeling lasts a few hours.  I am planning a move across the country.. so am under stress.. I just wish I could find a way to stop it!

[Megz30]

i have been getting all the symptoms that you have. i was actually admitted to hospital for a week due to me not eating and feeling sick all the time. they found nothing through bloods, CT and ultra sounds. they called me a 'mystery girl'.

I am better now, but still feel sick after eating and always seem to have gas... is this a intolerance thing?

[tygerlillie93]

I'd go to the doctors to check whether i'm right or not but this sounds similar to what I used to suffer with and I was diagnosed with lactose intolerance.
There are a few things you can do to test this firstly avoid milk completely for a few days and then drink a glass of milk, if the symptoms return then theres your problem.
Alternatively you can go to the doctors where they could do a number of things, they may decide you have that by simply listening to your symptoms, or have you blow into something to sample your breath (can't remember why but I know they look at the level of hydrogen in it)
If this is your problem there's a simple solution; there are tablets in Holland and Baretts that you take before having anything with milk in and they help you digest the lactose, this almost completely stops the symptoms. However they cost £10 a bottle for 60 pills (I think), and they don't last very long depending on the amount of milk is in your diet.
Hope this helps :D

[stephanielauren]

I get exactly the same, whenever i eat something i get a nauseating feeling afterwards and i've had to rush to the toilets too because i've felt like i'm going to be sick. It's a horrible feeling, and i've also been wanting to know what it is for quite some time now. I've been to the doctors about it but he was no help at all, he pressed around on my stomach to feel if everything was okay and he said it was & he doesn't think i have anything physically wrong with me and he told me to check back with him again in january to let him know if i am still getting it. I am positive that i will still be getting this feeling then because i am on no medication whatsoever to cure it. It's rubbish because i don't want to get this feeling when i'm sat down having a nice christmas dinner with my family, so i am thinking of checking back with him sooner. I never look forward to eating, because i know i'm going to get this feeling. It probably doesn't help that i think about the sick feeling i'm going to get before i eat, because that way i am half way there already but i can't help but think about it. Maybe it's just a mind game, i don't know, but i can't stand it for much longer. I am concerned about myself because of this.

[CrazyGirl2]

After i eat i always need to go loo and i always feel sick i wont to no if this is normal or do i have a eating disorder? x

[lins22]

[sfsfgf]

I get the same feeling. It was really annoying cus my mum just assumed it was bullemia. However I have a thing called acid reflux which could be a factor to me being sick. THis is a link to a website on it http://www.reflux.org/, you should get yourself checked out cus if it is that it means you should avoid some kinds of food. Also it can mean that you are prone to heart burn and stuff like that.

[untine]

a few months ago everytime i ate i would feel so sick i would end up vomiting! no i do not have any type of eating disorder i love food which was horrible for me then lol. but i honestly think it was just so much stress. so perhaps you are just very stressed out? if you are you can always try doing more things that you enjoy!

[yeahyeah690]

Have any of you been tested for Celiac's Disease or tried going on a gluten free diet? I used to feel sick all the time too after eating. One time, I lost 20 pounds in a single week. I've felt a lot of the symptoms mentioned. I stopped eating gluten (aka wheat) and the symptoms stopped. I feel much better now and have been on a gluten free diet for two years. It's tough and you have to give up a lot of food that you no doubt love, but trust me, feeling better is worth it.

[Looweeze]

This also happens to me. and It's awful. I am lactose intolerant, but I never used to get this sick, usually only if I have had a lot of dairy that day, which I've been laying off of recently to see if that's what it was, but it's gotten even worse. I try to stay away from fatty foods for health reasons, but it's still getting worse. I thought it might be from dehydration, so I've been increasing my water intake, but it hasn't changed at all.
  I've started to wonder if it could actually be the FOOD that's causing it, and not a medical condition or "sensitive stomach." With all of the fillers in meat products today, and just overall unhealthy food that is out there today, it seems like more and more of us are all getting ill! This is so scary!

[shadelta]

There are so many stomach related illnesses.  Lactose Intolerance is actually a common adult-onset issue that most people don't realize.  Food allergies are always the last thing that doctors look for, so I agree with some of the other posts, try changing certain things in your diet for a week and if you feel better you can self-diagnose easily.  One week cut out dairy, one week cut out gluten, one week cut out meat...  You will realize what the trigger is and learn how to adapt your life and live healthier.  Good luck!

[yumyum187]

For a year now. Everytime i eat wether it's a tiny bit or a fair portion i get very sick. My stomach pops out so much, i cant breathe what so ever it's like this pressure i cant move i cant do anything. I end up throwing it up like my stomach rejects the food and after i throw up i feel great the pains are still there but, i can breathe. I have been to the doctor they told me i have colitis. I have been in and out of the emergency room many times, they told me they dont know. So i had a colonoscopy and they found hemroids. So they set up an appointment for the same thing but, down my throat. I am just wondering what the hell is going on. I know my body and i know when there's something wrong. I also have a golfball cyst on my brain. Osteoarthritis in my back, liver functions are elevated white blood cells are elevated. I always feel sick i never feel good no matter what i do and i am 25 too young to be feeling like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LauraL3716]

Hello everyone. I have been feeling like this too. I have been through a huge amount of stress and then I started feeling sick when I ate. Later in the month after this had been happening alot, my menstrual cycle never came. And now Im rather worried. Im about 5ft 4" and have gone down to about 6 stone.

Does anyone have ideas that could help me. I just know how everyone here feels, trust me none of you are alone.

Please help if you have an answe :)

[tagalong2004]

I see that most of you are female. I am 29 and a male and I have been feeling sick and getting headaches after i start eating. I really doesn't matter what I eat. I also don't have my gallbladder. It was taken out over 3 years ago. I also take Welchol everyday for upset stomach after my gallbladder was removed.I am under stress and cant sleep alot. My doc put me on amitriptyline  for headaches and mood. It worked for a little bit but I took my self off a couple of weeks ago because my mood was getting worse and it got scared. Since then my headaches have come back but i dont want to take mood meds for headaches. Can anyone help?

[Judyku]

These symptoms started for me a little over two weeks ago and it's gotten very annoying in such a small span of time. Every time I eat, I get nauseous after half an hour later. It could be porridge, burger, salad or whatnot. I've read a few things about lactose intolerance and for the last few months, I've been getting sickly feelings after drinking milk on its own, which is funny because I'm okay with cups of tea and coffee. I've also been under observation for my gallbladder and waiting for my next appointment.

Any suggestions about what I can do to help myself in the mean while?

[yourmatrix]

I am having these same issues as well as everyone else in my 5 unit apartment building we live in. My Doctor cant figure it out either.

[karen741]

I have been getting extreme lower stomach pain for the last few weeks,I put it down to indigestion caused by a new type of bread(linseed and Soya)  i had been eating. Other symptoms i have are nausea, tiredness and on one occasion vomitting. I put this down to intolerance of Linseed as this is when i had the severest reaction and very quickly to.
I thought this was the answer...but it seems not !!  still after i eat anything within a few hrs i feel nauseous,have a small amuont of stomach pain ( feels like it is turning over) and it feels like i want to be sick( although i am not)
  this is really an unpleasant situation to be in....and it seems alot are suffering from reading the above posts.
maybe it is a stomach ulcer?  the symptoms seem to match ??
i suppose until i take myself to the doctors i will have to manage the problem myself.. with antacids and indigestion tablets ..
anybody recommend anything  speaking from there own experience ?

[jhart1989]

every single time i eat no matter what it is, i feel nauseous, i have only ever vomited once after eating. this has been going on for about 9 years now. i've gone to the doc and they've rann all the tests and scans and have found nothing wrong with me.   9 years is a long time of this, but i beleive it will eventually heal itself. for all of you that suffer i would like to tell you a temporary fix and a method i've came up with over the years.. also i'd like to point out im a male, 21 year old, very slim. sometimes when i feel nauseous after or during eating i take my index finger and thumb, and pinch the skin about 2 inches above my belly button very hard and pull it outwards as far as possible (making it feel like there is almost more room in your stomach. also another method i use is to do things to take your mind off it, for me, i work on one of my cars, or go for a walk, or believe it or not, have sex. all of these things are quick fixes and i hope these method helps someone.  anyhow good luck to all, i beleive all we need to do is give it time.  - Jamie

[deanlf]

Hi, I'm a male also, I'm 18 and in college. I got the same feeling as you, and most people here, recently. I'm hungry alot of the time but whenever I go to eat I just feel sick and don't want to eat it at all. I never had anything like this before and it's really irritating because I don't know exactly whats causing it and how to stop it. It could be be from stress and all that but I've been stressed out before and it never happened. I've a feeling it's all in the mind and it's not physical. And I'm nearly positive it's not anorexia because I actually want to eat and not concerned about gaining any weight. I'm going to just head to the doctor and see.

[xxCharlottebxx]

i have had the same exact thing for the past 2 days! im really worried becuase i feel hungry like normal but when i go to eat i feel like im goin to be sick and then i feel sick for ages! im 19 and have lost weight since i stopped taking my contraceptive pill in sept! i dont know if its because i used to eat alot with the pill and now i dont and my body is used to it but its really confusing. i wake up and feel fine but i get alot of flem (phlegm) in my throat that makes me gag and then i eat to make it go and i feel sick! iv been really nervous over the last few days because iv been meeting up with a guy but i get worried ill collapse or feel dizzy because i havent eaten properly. yoghurts and soft stuff i can eat but when it comes to big meals or sandwiches i just cant stomach more then 1-2 bites and i feel physically sick. i had my last period and havent been sexual active since so im not pregnant but im losing weight fast and im worried it will get worse. i no im not anarexic because i love food and i used to eat all the time but just recently i cant eat. i also feel very bloated and like i need to go to the toilet but i cant! i get alot of trapped wind and im not sure if that could be causing it and i burp alot too. im going to make an appointment for the doctors soon if it doesnt go but just wondered if anyone can help.
Thank you

[allmymarbles]

When you say sick, do you mean nauseous? That could be due to insufficient stomach acid and stagnant digestion. Try taking a spoon of apple cider vinegar just before you eat. It worked like a charm for my daughter - and immediately.

[pianochris20]

my girlfriend has been feeling that way where she feels like she's gonna throw up every time she eats. could that mean she's pregnant or could it jus b stress.

[lynnchapman62]

I am getting sick after I eat usually with in a 1/2hr along with that I have also had 1mo that I had my period off and on for 30days going only a day off and it would start again. Another month I had it twice. I had not been sexually active with intercorse for 3yrs until 3/11 and the periods started messing up in beginingof Feb. My stomach getting sick started in April.I had my tubes done in 84 so no way should I be pregnate any ideas??  

[Jhager79]

I know how everyone feels! I have been dealing with the same issue my entire life. I have gone to doctor after doctor, and no answers. I have given up on going to doctors and just don't eat. I feel better when I don't eat versus when I do. I'm 32 and weigh 104 and slowly withering away.  Because of it, I am anemic: always cold and always fatigue. It's so frustrating, but what can I do but suffer.

[Leah026]

I was this way for 2 years - recently stopped eating garlic and I seem to be doing much better. I also gave up onions. I cooked lunch and dinner with g & o every day. There are some great posts out there that describe symptoms of a garlic allergy. See if they sound familiar. Oh 2 years ago I had my gallbladder removed. They said some things I was allergic to I would be able to eat and some other things I could now not eat.

[cantbelieveit414]

Funny you should say garlic, I have had this feeling of nausea after I eat for about ahh over a month now. Plus I have that bad breath taste in my mouth, plus I have heart burn all the time. But you mentioned garlic, I've been craving garlic for about 3 months I put it on everything. If I'm not cooking it I have to season it with garlic salt or garlic power. Your comment caught my eye, I'm sooo tired of the MD field test after test after test, doctor after doctor all they want to do is put you on DRUGS!! Try this drug see if it helps, whats up with the medical field now a days. If they are'nt pushing a new drug there sending you to a different doctor. No one wants to diag you they just want to rule out! Went to the dentist the other day and he mention bad breath isnt always cause of your teeth it could be belly problems. Hummm had to get that info from a dentist not a MD!! Guess I'll cut back on the garlic and see if I start to feel better. Thanks for the advise. Sure beats paying a copay! :-)

[angela656]

Hey guys,

It's stress! Stress is a killer! :)

Same thing here. I am under a tremendous amount of stress and when things get bad, I feel like I have morning sickness after eating :) Nauseous and bloated, gas, you name it. I also manage to mess with my menstrual cycle, oftentimes completely skipping a month which then, laughingly, adds to the stress because I believe that I am somehow pregnant!

Note the incredible toll that severe stress and anxiety takes on our bodies! It's time for you to take a look at your diet and exercise and do some meditation or something :) Take a step back and put things that are bothering you into a healthier perspective because after all, life's too short to be stressed out!

If you're really worried, visit your gp, get blood tests done, if only to alleviate some of the stress. You're body will thank you...

[Surferbabe5]

For a couple years now I have been feeling nauseated to the point of vomiting after eating every meal! I've been to the docs and he Said it was digestive issues... He put me on miralax and that didn't do anything. My advice to everyone is to sit on the toilet and bend over a little the position your body is in relieves any bloating also keep your head still and either be playing on your phone or texting getting your mind off of it makes it go away! I promise:)

This has only happened to me three times over about 2 months time. I am 15 and the recent one happened when I was eating a fatty food that I have eaten plenty of times before. I am eating and then all of a sudden I feel really sick in the stomach and then I puck and it is all better. I want to know if I should tell my doctor.

[Slh15]

I been feeling sick after I would eat and one day I didnt eat anything and felt fine but I cant find out why and sonetimes I dont feel hungry at all i dint know what to do

[sd8400PH]

It's funny you mention garlic and onions.  They are common allergens and the offender is usually their organic sulpher (sp?) compound.  [This is not the same as the inorganic sulfa drugs that are prescribed by a doctor.] Do you also have trouble with eggs?...prepared any style or included in a food's ingredients.  If yes, then probably the sulpher compound.  If no, there are a couple of less common allergens in the garlic and onions.  

Here's a funny for you...it is fairly common for someone to crave the food that causes the trouble.  For the treatment of my past conditions, the pulmonist-allergy specialist told me to track and eliminate the craved foods first.  

If you id the offending food/substance, be sure to look for its derivatives...milk, wheat, gluten, etc. go by MANY names on food labels.  Also, look for possible cross contamination in the processing of the food.  Look for the short blurb on the food labels; it often will say something like the following:  processed in the same plant as peanuts, tree nuts and wheat.  

God Bless,

For the past year and a half I've been extremely tired, wanting to sleep all the time, and needing at least 12 hours of sleep and a 4 hour nap during the day for me to be able to function.(I assure you I know that this is not normal)  Just last winter I did get mono, but I felt way different with that.  I am certain that I am over it now, but I have still felt tired.  When all this started, I wasn't stressed at all, and the symptoms didn't change when I actually did get stressed.  I was on an anxiety medication, and I recently got off of that, still no differences.  My thyroid and iron levels are both normal, and I have been tested for diabetes, a gluten allergy, cancer, etc...  Just lately now though, I've been getting really really sick before and for the first couple of days of my period.  

NOW, I have what all you guys have, I'm getting extremely nauseous and weak after eating, yet I get really hungry and shaky if I don't eat.  My stomach is gurgling a lot, like I can feel the food being digested, and I have a lot of gas.  I'm not quite sure what to do!  I've had a bottle of water and a bucket near me for the past couple of days, and I haven't been able to do anything but sleep.  I'm not sexually active, nor have I ever been on birth control.  I seriously hope it's not my gall bladder like some of you have mentioned.

[FergalEmmanuel]

Try eating things that do not have a high fat content. You can clear your system out by eating some bran cereal in prune juice, probably will not taste great but it will do the job. From there just watch what you eat and the quantity of it, and no that does not mean a complete revamp of your diet lol. This weekend just try sticking to salads, veggies, fruit, and maybe meat like chicken (not fried) just so your body can recoop.

[happy_little_boozer]

am i the only man here cause i have the same problem, like today i didnt eat anything then after a couple of beers i felt  hungry and so i got a bowl of chilli my dad had cooked with some rice, i only got about halfway through and i started to feel reallly ill and full. I can't eat breakfast as it used to be otherwise i start to burp and gag sometimes i burp up vomit :/ and if i do eat its about 2-3 of feeling like **** before i can get on with my day :(

[okie812]

You should get checked for SIBO..small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Ask your GI doc I bet its that. Or IBS or both. You should follow a low Fodmap diet it. Google it..it has helped me. You should also get a colonoscopy DEMAND one from your GI

I have steadily gotten worse over time.  I started out with Lactose Intolerance after having my daughter 14 years ago.  I drank a lot of milk while pregnant which may have done it.  After a while, I started having a lot of gas and felt ill often.  I was using Lactaid pills for the LI, so that wasn't it.  I had an endoscopy, colonoscopy and my gallbladder checked.  I was checked for H. Pyloi and all the other blood tests were done.  Everything came up normal.  I read that one digestive issue general leads to others down the road.  I was told I have IBS, which is what they call it when they rule everything else out.  I feel sick after eating mostly anything.  I especially have issues with any meat or nuts (protein), fruits, and some vegetables.  I seem to be able to digest white pastas and cereals (no wheat or bran) the easiest in small portions.  I was given Bentyl and take over the counter probiotics.  My doctor said perscription probiotics are regulated and contain less filler ingredients and so are better than unregulated over the counter probiotics.  I take magnesium, vitamin C, and occasionally Miralax (also perscribed).  I make sure that all my vitamin supplements are milk free, gluten free, etc.  I don't take birth control pills, but take other perscriptions that I read may cause stomach upset.  I tried going gluten free.  That didn't seem to make a difference.  I heard on a program that apples can be sprayed with preservatives for up to a year in a warehouse before being shipped to stores.  With all the stuff companies are allowed to put in our food, you have to wonder what the side effects of that stuff are.  I have heard a lot of people are becoming allergic or intolerant to food dyes and can't have anything with red dye added for example or they get really sick.  They can't even have "natural" foods that are red.  I am considering giving the theory of food combining a shot.  Open to other suggestions too.  I have read that charcoal supplements help with gas.  I have also used Platinum Digestive supplements made by NOW Vitamins.  That seemed to help digest difficult to digest foods more than anything else I have tried.  Fennel seeds, also available in pills, are supposed to soothe the stomach and prevent spasms.  It has helped, but not 100%.  I tried Valerian Root supplements.  That didn't work at all.  There are other herbal things that you can try.  Different things may work for different people.

I am 54 years old. No stress except over my current condition. I get nauseous and a 'full' feeling whenever I eat. No gas, no runs, no heartburn, no reflux. Sometimes a migraine. It makes no difference what I eat and my diet consists of mini healthy meals several times a day. I have been to my regular doctor and my gastro, had the blood tests, upper GI (barium swallow), ultrasound, endoscopy, colonoscopy etc. and everything came back normal. My doctors have no idea what's wrong. I've lost 35 pounds in two months and am missing a lot of work due to this.

Hi all,
I am a 14 year old who has been having the same problems for the last few weeks. My issues are not pregnancy related, and I have a few suggestions for those in similar positions.
I would suggest seeing a pathologist for a urea breath test, which can show any bacteria in the stomach which can cause ulcers.
Another cause is stress, as many other people have said. It can be because of a past experience or the conditions you are in because of work or school. For temporary relief, I would recommend drinks such as soda water or lemonade, as the gas can often help to settle the stomach. Alternatively, drinking Eno salts mixed with water can be effective.
I wish you all the best of luck!

This is strange we are suffering from Almost the same thing. I feel sick after eating, my period keeps coming early, I easily sleep til 3pm and have to force myself to wake up.   I'm not on any meds and not under any stress. Help?

[Brandi_Rae]

I have been having the same problem for about 2 weeks now... Every time i eat anything I feel sick and bloated I have vomit several times after eating and it has had a strong bile taste.. Unlike many of you I have not been able to sleep easy. I have been in great pain through out the night and i am constantly tossing and turning to get comfortable... I have also been having diarrhea .... about 9 yrs ago I had similar problems ... I went to the doctor and they did a Gastrol scoping they said i had small polyps in my gallbladder they said it was nothing to worry about. Could this be the same thing??
..Also the bloating that im getting now is in the upper part of my stomach just below the rib cage... If anyone knows what this is or what causes it please let me know

I have the same feeling. I got pregnant and had a baby in 2010 . Had the stomach virus this past summer and ever since then I would feel sick. I recently got a job at a shoe store and I feel sick working too. When I eat after a few bites I feel nauseous. I am on birth control too and since I've started taking it it seem like I eat less and less:( in tired all the time even after I wake up in the morning. I take care of my daughter and niece in the morning and I start work at 4pm and get home around 10.

Idk what's going on with my body. It ***** cause I can't do anything with my daughter sometimes:(

[Littlefergy67]

I am a sixteen year old girl, and recently no matter what I eat or how much I feel sick to my stomach for hours, even through the night. My last period is late, however I am not sexually active, and they are very irregular. I can never seem to eat anything, and at times I get to feeling like my stomach is in knots. I feel extremely tired and want to sleep for a really long time, longer than most people my age. I am not on any medications, and I really just want to know what is going on. It isn't stress, because I do not feel stressed, and this has been going on for about two months now. I am hardly ever sick and I haven't been to the doctor in maybe a year and a half... I really hope this is nothing serious, but I would love to know what is going on.

[sez11]

I'm 20 and for the past month I'm eating things I've never been interested in before but they make me feel so sick! But I can't help but want to eat them, even when I eat things I'm used to for hours after I feel sick, and most days not long after I've woke I rush to the toilet to be sick but nothing comes up I just gag a lot what's up?? Help xx

[Heika101]

I always feel nauseous after I eat and its growing annoying. I am only 15 and my mother doesn't take it too serious. It's not that she doesn't care, it's just the fact that I always complain that something is wrong with me. I am not sure what to do.

[Persistance_always_prevails]

Hi,
I am a 28 year old male and have been experiencing the exact same thing as lolagirl145(post made on 21 Aug 2011).
I also had a mono (epstein-barr virus infection) in august this year before the symptoms started presenting. I also had whopping cough and streptococcus at the same time. It seemed I never really recovered fully and eventually it had progressed to theses internal pains over the last two or so months. It started off as some pain just below my rib cage on the left next to my sternum. I was also extremly tired on exertion or soon after eating, I lost my appetite entirely for about a week but then regained it, howver I am still in pain after eating.It seems to come and go in waves.
Docs have run almost every test under the sun and haven't found anything clinically wrong with me so far. I have also been experiencing some heart attack like symptoms which have caused me to collapse on occasions with minor activity such as walking around throughout the day.I'm going to have a consultation with a cardiologist about these symptoms aswell,as I've already seen every other specialist appart from a chronic fatigue specialist. I used to be one of the fittest, most active and motivated person you'd ever come across. Now I struggle with basic things. Docs can only put it down to a post viral fatigue so far, but I am determined to find out the cause of this. There must be something simple that is overlooked or not seen using the current methods used to diagnose problems. For example if someone says they have pain whilst walking around after eating then why are the scans done whilst laying down??? You must replicate the exact scenario in order to find the issue. I have noticed medical staff normally do the opposite. Let me know if you have found the issue or a cure. I have a far fetched theory but i'm not sure if it's a possibility, here it is. I believe that in my case the diaphram may be damaged or has somehow been detached from the stomach for what ever reason (bacterial infection/trauma/unknown). When I eat my stomach expands and is moving about more freely the abdominal cavity. It may then be pressing up against the heart or some arteries which is placing pressure on those arteries, for example arteries that may be feeding the bowel to allow for correct digestion, or possibly any other arteries, but i'm not sure exactly. but I think it's as good as any other guesses the Docs have had. A question I have to all, were you all happy in most aspect of your lives prior to this illness setting in???

I can't explain why you're feeling sick, because I feel the same way but it just started the last few days and I have no clue what it is, BUT, I will say that you could be losing your hair because it's very common for a mother to lose large amounts of hair starting 3 months after delivery.  I have an 18 month old boy and when he was about 3-4 months I started losing hair.  It seemed like huge chunks were falling out at a time but eventually it stopped and my hair grew back.  It actually looked like I was starting to get a receding hairline!! I was so scared, but just wanted to let you know that could be the cause of your hair loss.  Hope you're feeling better, and let me know if you ever find out what was causing your stomach issues.

[clarajo]

I too have the same symptoms and when i checked with my doctor he told to cleanser my stomach becasue the symptoms are occurring becasue of parasites present in the stomach. So after that i am feeling better now.

[sickntired10]

I have been going thru the same crap!! Last year, around this time, is when it started.  After having a cat scan they found that I had a paraesophigeal hernia and it was bad!! The doctors thought this was the problem and in Jan I had the hernia fixed.  One of the things about this hernia surgery you CAN NOT throw up ever!!! I still have the pain, still have the nausia (so bad!!) but I cant throw up.  When you cant throw up, the pain from the nausia is over the top!!! I have lost 40 pounds this year and am suffering every day.  I can't beleive that there are so many people out there suffering with the same thing and no one has answers!!! It scares me to death!  I read about a lady that had severe delayed digestion (which I also have) and they had to put in a gastric pace maker to help her.  Who knows!?!?! My GP doc thought it was depression/stress and put me on an antidepressant.  NOT WORKING EITHER!! Not much looking forward to the food part of Christmas that is for sure.

[sdbinoshkosh1]

same kind of thing here too, even after eating a small amount I feel way over full and feel the need to vomit, and I often do, and then I feel hungry again. it only seems to happen when I'm inactive and not when i'm doing stuff like work or exercise.    I had surgery about a year ago to have my gaul bladder removed, I think that may have somthing to do with it.  I havent lost weight or anything but it is a very uncomfortable feeling and I feel a little bad about wasting food that way.

[jess9413]

Hey i have been feeling the same way. I thought i was preganant but it comes with anxiety too. I have been worrying a lot cause i don't know what it is. But i just got on the depo shot. (birth control). Do you think that could be it??

[nikiz628]

Over the last couple weeks I have noticed that I am experiencing post eating nausea and extreme sleepiness. On some occassions its so bad I really think I am going to throw up. It doesn't matter what I eat. The last two nights I have fallen asleep on the couch almost immediately after eating (for hours!). This is bad because I have a 15 month old son and a husband to take care of. I don't feel like I am under an abnormal amount of stress that could be causing it. And I know 110% I am not pregnant (I am actually on my period now). I don't have health insurance so a doctor visit is not in my future... I just wish I could pinpoint the culprit. I have read through all these posts and see a lot of similarities. I seriously just want to detox my body and see if that helps.

[azurekate]

i'm actually having the same problem right now. i feel really sick after eating anything, no matter how hungry i am. ive told my parents but they just brush it off, because they automatically assume im making it up or it will go away after a few days or weeks, so they wont take me to the doctor without making a big deal out of it. what should i do?
