Hello. I'm a 17 year old female and I'm 145 pounds.
Before I ask my question, I'd like to explain myself.
In February, 7 months ago, I caught the stomach flu. It came out of nowhere. After three days, It went away. Then, again in April, It came back. This time, I was a little shaken up. When I vomit once, I vomit quite a few more times after that. I just plain didn't want to vomit anymore. My dad took me to the emergency, and they prescribed pills for nausea.
But since those two attacks, my intestine and stomach have been acting weird. My blood has been checked, I've been checked for gallstones, checked for lactose intolerance, nothing. Everyday for the past 5 months, I feel like gagging after I eat because my stomach gets filled with gas. I have trapped burps; they come out bit by bit, but it takes hours; I feel like I can't make correct bowel moments. I've been taking prilosec because my doctor diagnosed me with acid reflux. This was 6 weeks ago. I still have the same symptoms, even after eating more healthy. I'm becoming desperate. The pills are making me have odd dreams, I get nervous often..I just want relief. I feel like all of this is a one way ticket to depression. I've been thinking to deep, and It gets worst and worst each day. Please, I'm desperate for help. The feeling of being afraid to eat or drink anything is horrible. I don't know how much more of it I could take.
My question is, what does this sound like? Is it acid reflux? I really don't feel heartburn. Just gas. And why is it that I can't make the correct bowel movements? I apologize for being so hostile, but any sort of advice and help is appreciated.
Thank you for reading.
