Morning nausea(not pregnant) fatigue,loss of appetite
I really need some help with this. For about 4 weeks I have been having severe nausea from the time I get up till around 1 or 2 in the afternoons. I have no energy, I have to make myself eat( feel more like eating late in the evening) I DO have a history of IBS ( diareah / constipation ) I have some discomfort in the upper abd.The worst part is the nausea and lack of energy. I feel sometimes if I don't lie down , I will just pass out. I have been off work for a month now ( worry about job doesn't help problem) I have had several tests done, am going back to dr. tomorrow for liver test. So far they have found nothing. I know I am not crazy, but after a while, with no name to put with this, it is making me crazy. I have seen others post on here with same symptoms, but the post was in archives of last year. I looked for answers ( Piper123 had same symptoms 8-6-06 ) didn't see any. Wish I could get in touch with anyone that has gone through this and is feeling better ( need to know there is light at the end of the tunnel) Please respond anyone.
thank you

Have you tried a gluten free diet - I had problems similiar to yours although I was tested for celiac which was negative. The dr said although I am not full blown celiac, I could be gluten sensitive. I tried the gf diet and 95% of my symptoms disappeared. It's not an easy diet as there is so much gluten (wheat protein) in everything. I suggest you go to celiac.com and look it over. Good luck!! Also, a lot of drs are reluctant to give this advice or don't really know.
Oh and to clarify - Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorder can effect different parts of the digestive tract - it can cause esophogitis, gastritis, gastroenteritis, and colitis... it can cause one, multiple, or all of these (In my mom's case, all 4 are affected)
So I'm definitely no doctor and am not exactly qualified to answer many of these questions BUT there's something that could be worth checking in to.
My mother had been suffering from a large assortment of GI issue that ended up turning very severe. For years and years they could not find out what was wrong, just told her she had various food sensitivities... finally she was diagnosed with a B vitamin deficiency and they thought that was the cause of the problems
BUT as it turns out, that was also a symptom. After lots of testing done she was sent to a specialist in Maryland who told her that this was all caused by an extremely rare disorder called Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorder. It's a genetic disorder with only 300 or so reported cases, but that is mainly due to the fact that the symptoms are so related to other issues and it's so little known that it usually gets overlooked as an option.
I myself have started experiencing all the exact same symptoms as you folks - extreme nausea in the mornings, sometimes vomiting, lots of diarrhea and food sensitivities (recently realized I cant handle milk). Symptoms come and go... will have various symptoms for a week or so, be fine, then a few weeks later they start again. Talked to my mom and turns out those were the exact symptoms she first started noticing. Could explain why some of these gluten-free diets have been helping people. The disorder also causes malasorbtion issues that can cause a number of symptoms (like her B vitamin deficiency). I myself am going to get tested soon for this problem, and am expecting to hear that it is indeed the problem.
Cant guarantee this will help every or anybody, but it's definitely worth looking in to... the more cases that get reported, the more documented it will become, and the more likely it will be that people with this problem will get it diagnosed sooner and not have to suffer through these symptoms for years without realizing why.
Hope this helps! I know if yall are anything like me, it's a miserable condition to be in and all you want is for it to end... and yes, marijuana helps a LOT

Holy cow! I thought i was the only one! I have only burbed like 4 times in my whole life and when I get hiccups they hurt REALLY bad! My sister always make fun of me and thinks i'm super weird, I asked her if it ever happens to her and she says no. I get it after food and drinking. But even if I have a little bit of water it happens! It's really emberessing and at school it affects my concentration because I worry to much that it's going to happen. Whenever I feel it climbiing up my throught I start coughing or clearing my throat to try and cover it up. It's the most emberessing thing EVER! It's also very annoying because it makes a strange gurle/growl/rumble and its an uncomfortable feeling. Honestly when i'm alone and away from people i'm fine with it because it feels like it's clearing out my throat and stomach. Oh and I also have only thrown up once in my life and I find the same trouble in doing so. I also get very nasueas but I can't throw up. I really want to ask a doctor but i don't feel comfortable telling my parents first (I get really emberassed about telling my patents these things) so i'll have to wait until i'm able to consult a doctor without a parent):
Chronic Fatigue Syndrom... Look it up. I have the same issues. CFS explains majority of it...
For the past few days, I've experienced pretty bad nausea in the morning (but I never actually puke), and then I start feeling a little better in the afternoon, only to have the nausea return in the evening. The nausea is frequently accompanied by what feels like hunger pangs, but I'm never actually hungry. I'm 24, female, not pregnant. Any thoughts/ideas?
