Hi, you mention your eyes having yellow in them. I suspect your problems are gallbladder based. Do go back to your doc and ask for tests/scan. Follow a low fat diet and watch what foods are a 'trigger'. You have to be persistent. If your doctor does not see you, he/she assumes you are ok. So you have to tell them that it is a continuous problem.

Hello my names joey im 18 years old and i have been suffering from the same thing all of you have for a year now probably the wrost year of my life i want to start out by saying everyone who has posted on this site you are very tough and you can get through it ill tell you my story now. So on December 1st 2012 i had my mother take me to the hospital because i was non stop vomitting i couldnt stop my self for anything not even a sip of water. my eyes began to turn yellow and i remembered my friend saying when he had apendicitis that his eyes started to turn a yellow color before he then passed out and was rushed to the hospital anyways as im throwing up i look up inthe mirror for a brief second to look at my eyes and they looked to me to be turning a yellow color so i thought i had apendicitas so then after i waited for my self to pass out but it never happened anxiety through the roof now thinking if i dont get to the hospital in time im going to die i was over reacting but still i really thought i was from how much i was vommiting and how i could not stop. so on the way to the emergeny room with my puke bowl in front of me we arrive im admitted ASAP (2 hours later) they gave me this nausea pill called ZOFRAN (LIFE SAVER) witch helps with the neasea and vommiting. i finally got into a room but before they took me to the room they rushed me to get a CT scan in a different part of the hospital. they took the scan and then took me back to the room and told me not to drink anything untill they got the results back from the ct scan so i didnt even though i was dehydrated from literally throwing up everything in my stomach. we all sat in the room waiting for the doctor to come in witch took about 3 hours and as i was waiting i had this HORRIBLE PAIN on my left side it could have been my right side not sure honestly but anyways horrible pain on my side the doctor comes ina dn tells me he couldn see anything on the scan besides some stool backed up witch wouldnt cause the pain or the vommiting so i ask what is it then i didnt come to the emergency room for you to tell me my poo is backed up okay. he then tells me that i could and he said COULD  have kidney stones  I was like KINDNEY STONES WTF so we then leave the emergency room with a nice packet on how to treat/pass kidney stones awesome i go home all drugged up and finally not thriwing up anymore and start reading about kidney stones saying the pain is close to child birth HAHAHA AWESOME!!!! so two weeks go buy feeling sick as a dog throwing up cant keep anything down christmas is coming up thinking great this is going to be the worst chistmas ever which it was but oh well and yet to menton my birthday was on the 18th of december yay. One night i want to say december 11, 12, 13, or 14 not sure but i was starving havent eaten a solid meal since the 1st of december i was living off of soup crackers liquid diet pretty much i was so over not being able to eat so my girlfiend my friend and i decide to go to taco bell i was thinking okay im going to try and eat 1 taco WORST DECSION EVER!!! i ate the taco felt fine for once shocked i fell asleep about 10-15 min later i wake up ran to my trash can cause there was no way i was making it to the bathroom and i threw up the taco and everything left in my stomach. i then asked my friend to take me to the emergency room and i wasnt overreacting i wasnt trippin out but my throat began to shut on me blocking my air way i calmed myslef down because the first episode the nurse kept telling me not to panic it will make things worse she assured me on my first visit that as long as i could breathe i would be fine well i wasnt abke to breathe besides very tiny breathes that i was very lucky for so my friend rushes me to the hospital they get me in there quick like very quick because i couldnt breathe and my face beagn to turn purple from the lack of oxygen. they give my the nausea pill again witch was he hardest thing to swallow. the doctor comes in after they gave me a shot of some pain medicine which just made me relax and he told me my throat was swelling up from vommiting constantly and the taco shell or something cut the lining of my throat on the way back up into the trash can haha so then i go home with a nice packet to treat my throat again didnt tell me why i couldnt keep food down or what was wrong with me when all i wanted was to eat normal heathly food like everyone else i then got depressed from this and then was put on a anti anxiety/ anti depression medication called zoloft which did not work and is a bunch of ******** pardon me but its true it worked for like a week after the 4 weeks it takes to take affect so i went to my doctor one day after december so its now about january and i stilll can eat for my life literally nothing and im serious when i say nothing im talking chicken broth and bread/ crackers i was happy that i was able t o eat something but thats not good for you eating soup crackers and bread for 2 months NO. my doctor advised me to go see a G.I. gastrointestinal specialist so i did schedule and appt i went there he felt my stomach said it was hard and stiff so he wanted to do a colonoscopy and endoscopy hahaha didnt know what that was untill i asked so i was mature about it and followed through with the procedure even though the prep was horrible drinking this nasty stuff 2 liters of it to be exact and then sitting on the toilet for hours but it was okay i woke up the next morning ready for the procedure they put me to sleep and then i woke up which felt like 5 min later they said they would call me in for a follow up at my g.i,'s office when they got the pictures back and suff he then tells me whent i went to his office that nothing was found only some irritation in the colon which was most likely from the prep so i said okay im just going to go on living with this for the rest of my life oh and before the procedure he had me go get an ultra sound which also came beack negative but anyways ive been living with this THING that i have no clue what it is besides one term ONE TERM ive gotten out if this whole ordeal was LAZY GALLBLATTER and yet i have not recieved the call back or my cal was never answered from the GI to perform the test to see if my gallbladder was working or not and i think they put this liquid into to your GB and see if it rejects it or not idk but anyway i thought id share my story with all you people out here with either the same issue or a 100% complety different issue but i just want to know and what whoever reads this novel that im not alone and that your not alone ive been doing bettwer but im not 100% i cant eat greasy foods red meat and barely even chicken ive been trying but it then results in vommiting but im going to see a doctor this week and find out what they can do for me and YES im going to a different doctor and a dofferent GI i truley apologize for the incorrect spelling and horrible punctuation im typing this really fast to just get it out there im sure youll get it but thank you very mcuh to whoever reads this my point beimg is that your not alone and it could be alot worse

A lot of your guys' symptoms resemble that of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).   Your doctor may or may not have said something about it to you.  One of the main causative factors of IBS is stress.  Some stress is temporary, some is chronic.   Depending on the severity of your stress, there are many ways to treat stress.  Just to name a few non-medicinal ways would be to try talking to someone about your stress, possibly soothing music, aromatherapy, exercise, or even reading.  These are just a few simple ways to manage smaller stressors in your life.  There are times where the stress is too overwhelming and the simple therapies just don't cut it.  This is when you may consider seeking some sort of anti depressant.  Medications that could be used are SSRIs, SNRIs, or Benzodiazipines.  I'm not saying that medication cures everything so I would recommend the more simpler therapies first.  Maybe a simple vacation might just do the trick at relieving some of your stress.  I am also not diagnosing anybody on here with IBS but I was just giving some food for thought; "an outside the box look".  Good Luck to you all and you hope everything works out.

Sounds like you could have Candida.  Candida is an explosive growth of yeast.  Any kind of sugar or starch can cause the yeast cells to ferment gas....bloating.  Try the 'spit' test.  Spit into a glass of waterand wait ten minutes.  Normal spit will float on top.  Yeast however, will form strings that sink to the bottom.  Good luck.

Hi there,
Evening primrose oil is a natural way to balance hormones.
Also i have the hormone iud, it is not that bad. I cannot say regarding the non hormone one but with the coil it can take up to 6 months to become comfortable so it is something you need to persevere.
I hope this was helpful
