I have known my boyf for almost 5 yrs now and since ive known him, he has this stomach problem or something. at least once or twice a month he is sicker than a dog, he constantly is throwing up when he's sick, he can't eat or drink anything all he can do is take hot showers or baths or lay on a hotpad, to help with the pain, sometimes he gets so sick, he sh*ts out blood and he gets so dehydrated that he needs to go to the ER and all they do is put a IV in him and rehydrate him, give him some meds and let him rest, ive gone with him twice and they did a catscan with him a couple of times and they found nothing,but another time they said he has Gasteritus, they have done a exam thing where they stick a camera thing down your throat to look inside thats where they found ulcers the first time, but i think there is something more then what the drs are saying that is wrong with him, i dont think they are doing enough tests on him. he doesn't have Health insurance and medicaid wont help him!

he has gone to serveral different hospitals for this stomach problem, when he is very sick and needs to be rehydrated and the drs all say they can't find anything seriously wrong with him, they do set appointments for him to see a specailist, but he doesn't have the money or insurance, so most of the drs, wont help him...im just at my wits end with him being so sick, we have a child together and i want him to see her grow up! it's not normal to be shitting out blood!

I think your boy friend should see an Internist (Internal medicine Dr.)
Perhaps he is suffering from ulcers that are "infection based"
In the last two years Dr.'s have come to say that many ulcers are
due to bacteria and certain antibotics clear things nicely.
I have seen the reasearch and believe they are right.
The odds that I am right about your boy friend are over 75%

All those answers are good. Also, I think that it is important that your boyfriend gets his nervous system checked out. If his brain is unable to communicate fully with his stomach, due to some sort of a nerve interference in the spinal cord, it could cause those same sort of problems. A chiropractor can check his nervous system.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't have health insurance, he has a serious health problem that needs to be addressed. Set up an appointment with his normal doctor and consult with them as to who to go to, don't just trust random people on Yahoo Answers. It sounds like he needs medical attention immediately.

Its an air of secrecy. I see it too yet no longer continuously. some human beings declare to work out it in colors yet I under no circumstances do. For me its some color between black and white. And its at different distances from the body counting on the man. For some human beings it purely extends say a centimeter or so, for others, it extends 6 inches, in certain situations more effective. It strikes with the man too. Like... say someone strikes their hand by ability of the air. The air of secrecy will pass with them yet form of like the way water does. Its a touch slower than the action of the man shifting their hand. i imagine its specially the nice and comfy temperature from the body. maximum human beings are a lot a lot more effective than animals with a more effective body temperature (however no longer continually). i imagine thats why you do not see it round animals. yet attempt to seem at an stronger animal sometime. Like an elephant. you will see it round them too.

well it sounds like it could be an ulcer. make a note of the kind of foods he is eating within a day of these occurances. ulcers can cause bleeding to come out in the stool. or the bleeding could be from a hemmorhoid too. these are things to look into. you can go to http://www.gastro.com/html/ulcer.shtml this gives you info you can use. have a blessed day

do some research on Crohn's Disease...it's a disease in the intestinal system. it sounds' like he may have some of the symptoms. but it sounds like they have done most of the standard tests for stomach illnesses...maybe he needs to have a colonoscopy? he needs to have a talk with his dr's...or see another one. he has to be eligable for somekind of medical help. if he can't get health ins. through his job...then he is eligable for some type of medicaid. look into it further!

Reg Doctors can only guess what it can be, he needs to see a specialist. They can probably find the problem right away. If you had vaginal problems would you go to a reg Dr or would you go to an OBGYN (specialist)?

Take him to the emergency room, the will take care of this, but do it ASAP he could be in serious trouble. Something similar happened to me, I have crohn's disease and had to have emergency surgery.
