I am 35 years old healthy male (at least I was)
About four years ago, I had fish and mushroom for lunch and had food poising. I vomited everything I eat for six days. After the sixth day, started vomiting 4hrs after eating anything. Went Dr. and GI Drs and did the following test:
Endoscopy (twice): nothing found
Ultrasound (goldstone). Removed my gallbladder
HIDA scan (bad) gallbladder.
Barium swallow: nothing found
Stomach emptying test: nothing found
Upper GI lower study: nothing found
MRI: nothing found
CT scan: nothing found
Endoscopy: nothing found
All Lab test are normal
My symptoms are:
Vomiting undigested foods 4 hrs after eating
Upper mid and back abdominal discomfort
Mid upper back mild pain
Indigestion
Dehydration
Appetite loss
Weight loss (20 lbs)
Medication I tried:
Antacid and antibiotics: didn’t work
I have seen more than 15 internal medicine doctors and 7 Gastroenterologists
Can any one suggest anything you think what is going on? Thxs

i'm 36 and had the same problems as you do for the past 5 years. Someone mentioned "stress" and that is a big factor. I also had my gallbladder removed, felt good for about a week after surgery and then it started again. ask your doctor for zegerid for the indigestion/heartburn and zelnorm for the vomiting. they work great. i don't get sick as much as i used to. I was diagnosed with barretts syndrome which goes away with proper medication. your esophogas becomes enflamed where it attaches to your stomach and the food doesn't pass, so you get sick. look it up (not sure if i spelled it right though). its caused from the acid reflux
which could be triggered by stress. Also watch what your eating, change your diet a bit, write down everything that gets you sick.

It sounds to me like you have tried every kind of doctor. Initially, it sounds like gallbladder problems but you have removed that. I would suggest you try a different route and go see a homeopathic doctor. Among other tests they can run a bio rythym test on you and see if maybe your just off balance somewhere. Could be your body is producing too much of something, or too little, to make your system react the way it is. I personally know lots of people that have gone to homeopathic doctors and all have had excellent results. Even insurance companies are starting to cover visits, so you might check it out and see what they can find.

Sometimes sensitivities to foods and food allergies can be triggered by a traumatic event like the food poisoning. You may be unable to break down your food because you are not producing stomach acid or bile. To get started I would recommend a really great all natural mineral/vitamin supplement (this will also help give your body the nutrients it's lacking after so long without being able to keep food down. There is one from a company I get my depression-curing supplement from that is just for digestive system problems and disorders. The supplements are inexpensive, easy to take and have no negative side effects.
email me for more info, Id love to help!

see a chiropractor... i know it sounds a little off the mark but seriously... i have encountered patients with the same issues and after just a few adjustments every single one of them experiences vast improvement!

I had the same thing. STRESS was the cause
