Persistent Nausea

I am a 57 year old male. For the past 9 - 12 months, I have suffered from persistent nausea. I had lost almost 10 lbs., which is when I finally went to the Dr., but have since gained the weight back. I had blood work, abdominal ultrasound, CT scan and an endoscopy....all negative. I have some discomfort in my lower left quadrant, but the CT scan was focused on my pancreas and not the lower left area. I am not hungry for lunch for at least 5 hours after breakfast, and am not hungry for dinner for at least 6 or more hours after lunch. I wake up every morning with nausea. I have tried to isolate some foods, to see if something in particular is causing me the nausea, but most foods don't seem to agree with me. My MD said that I should see an alergist. My GI guy has no clue. Does anyone have any ideas what I might do or what might be causing this? I don't enjoy eating, as I know I will be nauseous in an hour. :confused:
 
While I was reading your post I was thinking that you needed to see an allergist too and get tested on multiple foods to see if you can start putting the puzzle together. You may want to think about doing a food journal as well. Stick with basic foods and as non-processed as you can to see if that has any effect. Could be celiac's (gluten intolerance which includes a lot of food) or even an allergy to something like soy(which is in tons of foods). Good luck!
 
I was tested for celiac and it came back negative. Also, my GI guy said the endoscopy showed no irritation internally, so he ruled out celiac also. I guess the Alergist is the next step.
