I am 19 years old and have had constant digestive issue since i was young.

My Doctor has vaguely told me i have GERD or IBS
(runs in my family).
Have had no further testing done apart from a blood test:Tested negative for Celiacs.

Here are my symptoms:

Daily Nausea
Hiccups
Feeling full after small amount of food
Bloating(often before i have eaten)
Waking up feeling Nauseous
Loss of appetite
Dizziness
Anxiety Symptoms
Stomach pain/discomfort
Acid Reflux
Heartburn
Sometimes feel a renching feeling in stomach
Jaw and Cheek pain
Pressure in back of throat/pulled throat musscle.
Have not lost weight

There have been many times i have had to sit up for hours and rub my stomach to fall asleep.
Or sat in the bathroom thinking i was going to vomit.
Have tried Losec & Ranitidine & Gaviscon and Quickeze.
All have helped but symptoms have returned.

Have kept a food diary and nothing sticks out as to what makes me feel sick.
But i have a suspicion that it could be wheat or gluten?
Am so fed up with always feeling sick.

Can any body see anything that it could be or have similar things happen to them?
Am interested in listening to other peoples storeis, especially who have suffered from a young age.

I wouldnt consider it all to be very severe or life threatening but to feel sick most days and struggle with feeling normal is so tiring.

Have kept a food diary and cannot seem to pinpint anything as sometimes i can eat wheat/gluten and feel fine.

Have not had any testing as i have come to the conclusion that most people do not find many answers with it.
 
Bless your heart, you are much to young to have to have these medical issues. Although, I do know a few your age that have these same problems. It does sound like GERD, which can be treated with meRAB (if one doesn't work, don't give up, try another)
Find a good gastro, demand test for an accurate diagnoses and if all else fails, seek a surgeon for fundo. At your age, I can't see taking meRAB the rest of your life. First off, find out what the real problem is (and that's not always easy). You may have to adjust your diet and leave off a lot of things people your age enjoy but to feel good and get better will be worth it. I do think you will get better once you begin the right meRAB and diet. Good Luck to You.

I had the same exact symptoms almost my whole life....Actually I still have them.
I would say that part of your problem sounRAB like general anxiety. IBS can cause anxiety since you feel crappy, and the anxiety makes all symptoms worse...its a cycle. The jaw problem could be also anxiety related, I tend to clench my jaw and grind my teeth which causes pain in my head and jaw.
Also, if you start getting pain under your right rib get your gallbladder checked out... that causes nausea as well.

Good Luck!
 
Hi there, sorr you are suffering with this. It sounRAB like you have gastroparesis from what you described, nasea, fullness after a couple bites, ect....those are all symptoms of a motility disorder. I would have a gastric emptying study done to see if your stomach empties properly. Good luck
 
Hey i kno how you feel. im 14 and i hav CONSTANT nasuea for 3 years..i cant even remeber how its liek to not feel sick! its screwed up my life so bad, i always ate healtrhy and normal...it randomly came on....anyway i tried L-glutamine, it sterntghens muslces and etres them back to normal like the LES and i foyund it helped me quite a bit...try it hope it helps you!!
 
It could be Acid reflux, GERD, or Chronic gastritus. My 15 year old son has this, and has suffered with it for at least 4 years. he has all the symptoms that you have. And he did have both a scope down his throat and colonsocopy. He is taking Zegerid for now, which has helped only slightly, and he has been on it for 3 months. Good luck with whatever you find, it is a long hard road...I know, watching my son go through this has been very hard.
