it sounds like you have IBS but I am not a doctor...IBS is irritable bowel syndrome....you should eat nothing that has seeds, corn, bananas, nuts, berries, as you might have pockets in your colon and that is why you feel so bloated and constipated. Try taking Citucel every night and change your eating habits. Liquid Maalox is good for indigestion, not tablets form , liquid form....you should see your doctor again....Good luck....

You need some investigation. How much depends a bit on how old you are. If this is new onset, i.e. you have not had the problem in the past, it might be reasonable to check you for helicobacter pylorii- the ulcer bug. This can be done at your GP surgery either by blood test, which is 85% accurate or breath test which is more fiddly but 100% accurate. If you are positive specific treatment can be given. If you are over 50 years and this is new onset the test can still be done but it may be wise to consider endoscopy- putting a telescope in and having a look.

You could be suffering from a number of gastrointestinal problems. You need to be properly evaluated by a specialist. Ask your GP to refer you to your local hospital. If he is reluctant, as some of them typically are, present yourself to A&E next time you are symptomatic. They will refer you to the right person who will order some tests. You have a right to be properly investigated and treated.
The indigestion and vomitting sounds a little like acid reflux. Try Gaviscon liquid or ask your doctor about omeprazole tablets. Bloating and constipation could be caused by a seperate problem. Drink plenty of water (1 glass per hour), eat a high fibre diet and keep a food diary. The latter will help identify any foods that might be triggering your symptoms if you are intolerant to them. Avoid spicy food, alcohol and caffeine. Probiotic foods can relieve some symptoms. Try some of the Yakult / Activia products available.
Do persist in getting seen by a specialist. Gastrointestinal problems can become severe if neglected. Early diagnosis and treatment is very important. It will save you a lot of suffering.
Good luck.

You didn't give detailed symptoms but this may help.
Drinking plenty of water and adding more fiber to your diet (fruits, vegetables or fiber supplements) will help. Add fiber slowly or it will make symptoms worse.
For now, the bloating is often gas so any anti-gas med might help.
If constipated, a stool softener will work gently, it takes a day or so to work.
Some medications or vitamin supplements with iron can cause this. Stress can do it too.
If symptoms continue you may need to see your doctor again especially if a fever comes with the symptoms.

you choose some examine. How a lot relies upon slightly on how previous you're. If it relatively is new onset, i.e. you haven't any longer had the issue in the previous, it would desire to be real seeking to envision you for helicobacter pylorii- the ulcer trojan horse. it relatively is quite often completed at your GP surgical treatment the two via blood attempt, that's eighty 5% precise or breath attempt that's extra fiddly yet a hundred% precise. in case you're beneficial particular scientific care can take transport of. in case you're over 50 years and it relatively is new onset the attempt can nonetheless be completed in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it relatively is sensible to contemplate endoscopy- putting a telescope in and having a glance.

i actually went through something similar, being sick after every meal, but no i was not bullemic. i went to the doctor and they said it was because i wasnt eating very healthily even though i was. but it made me uncomfortable with that doctor, so i went to another one, they gave me some tablets to take if i felt sick, so i would suggest going to a different doctor, in the end i stopped being sick and bloated, but its always best to go and see a different doctor if you are not happy with the first one. (sorry for the essay of an answer)

it could be a gastric reflux many reasons for this most commonly anxiety/depression treat the symptom treat the cause. Definately go back to your Doc that is what he is there for! In meantime try ZANTAC but never take any medication for too long a period if it is not working

The best advice I can give you is not to try and guess what it is. Go see a Gastroenterologist who specializes in those parts of the body. They will be better prepared to diagnose you and prescribe the proper treatment.
