Okay. At first it just looks like acid-reflux, but its more like compulsive vomiting throughout the day. He can control the compulsion to some degree, and manages to not loose all of his nutrition. However, the stomach Acid is damaging his esophegus (sp?). He has been tested for Celiac Spru, Stomach Paralysis, and he's not allergic to meat or dairy. He doesn't smoke, drink coffee or eat acidic foods. It can happen 5-10 times a day before or after meals and also between meals altogether. If you have anything like these symptoms or have a guess as to what is the culprit, please drop me an email. Also, one more strange thing is that all throughout his childhood he would compulsively eat plain table salt. I have heard that this was indicitive of a metabolic disorder, but I can't find out anything more about it.

No, he has not had a colonoscopy. He has had an endoscopy and some sort of digestion test, where he drank radioactive stuff and then they watched him digest it. Both showed nothing.
Its hard to answer the question about his current symptoms because he tries very hard to prevent himself from actually throwing up . With a lot of concentration and relaxation, he is able to not loose his food-so its kind of like heaving but he is usually successful at keeping the food inside and not out. When it does occasionally come out its kind of whiteish. it doesn't seem to be associated with any specific time of day (although without fail first thing in the morning he has it). like i said before, it can be bore meals, right after a meal, when he's really hungry, when he's not, etc. However, it doesn't seem to affect his appetite at all. He eats many times a day, though on days where is stomach is worse, his portions are smaller. He hasn't had any head trauma, headaches, or really any other problems.

He takes asprin very rarely, and we drink alcohol (within moderation) a few times a week. However, in Nov. he got mono and didn't have a drop of alcohol for 3 months-symptoms of stomach problem did not change. He hasn't had any of these probelms:kidney-liver-disease ?
gall stones ?
headache ?
head trauma?
diabetes?
abdominal surgery ?
no results from any blood tests done so far. no pain, fever, diarrhea, constipation. he doesn't feel thirst, fait, or have dry mouth. But one of his biggest ways of easing his stomach just a bit is to drink ice water. so he drinks probobly 2ce the amount of water that most people due.
oh-and its been a problem for the majority of his life - he's 23. And his Dad has always had a wierd stomach problem. Whenever his dad wouldn't get enough sleep at night - we would vomit and feel tsick the next day. ---just a side note.

i barely have been eating lately i guess due to stress and hormones. the most i would eat is a bagel in the morning, water, chips on the ride home from work ,and lipton noodle soup for dinner. i know salt makes u bloated but damn bagels, chips, and soup should not make me bloated. so i doing 100 situps every night then i'm fine. it seems like its just bloated right under my chest not my mid stomach. could it be liver or kidney problems?

I live in a small city so I think pricing would be different than of a larger city and I do not have insurance. Also, on the organizations that pay you to be a guinea pig for their pain medication... I have heard of Ppd, cedra, and seirex?? But I am not gettng much information b.c Ppd is not experimenting anymore, and I am not finding anything on seirex.

I started dating this guy when i was 16 years old, my first love my first everything. 6 months pass and he broke up with me cus he said he was going to go back to his girl cus they had a baby, way back, it really hurt me and i really didnt beg him but i was extremely hurt because i lost my virginity to him. so he kept calling me everyday and telling me that he misses me and **** like that..hhmm so i didnt take him back but we did see eachother one day and we had sex. 1 month pass and i met this guy in my school, and we started going out, he was a virgin and we had sex right away. 2 months later i go to the doctor to get my self check and find out that i had herpes. the worst news ever, i told my boyfriend and he wasnt mad at me, but everytime we used to fight he would blame me for giving him that and i feel so guilty. now im 19 and we are still together but we are always fighting, i dont know what to do, i wanna hate the guy who gave me that but in the end it was all my fault

My shoes and socks stopped fitting. I haved tried elevating my legs. I am not standing much. I am going to the doctor tomorrow. It is very painful. What are some causes of this? I have had this before and tried diuretics, but they do not work this time and this is the worst I have ever had it. My feet even look funny and cannot move correctly. I had to buy thongs because I was wearing slippers. Any ideas?

I have been active sexually with men and I feel bad afterwards because I was with them. I then get paranoid about it and think that I did something with them although I didn't (sometimes I have and I got tested for HIV and it comes back negative). I look for symptoms all the time and 9 times out of 10 they are from other things. How do you get over this paranoia and live a normal life?

Okay so I'm a teenager with braces and my orthodontist thinks i need a skin graft because the gums/tissue on my bottom front teeth are EXTREMELY thin. He says that with the braces moving/straightening my teeth, the lack of tissue would thin them even more. I am very scared about getting a skin graft (my brother had to have one), and I was wondering if there was anything i could do to build up the tissue on my lower front teeth. PLEASE help me I am very very very scared.
