So my girlfriend has a lot going on. She's allergic to a bunch of things so she takes pills everyday, she's anemic so she takes pills for that everyday, and she's also on birth control to regulate her menstruation. She doesn't eat many foods because they make her feel sick, and since being diagnosed with anemia, she hasn't changed her diet like she's been told, and still refuses to eat anything healthy because "it makes her sick". I can handle this, but after a while it starts to become a problem because she's constantly sick, or feeling sick. I was just wondering if there might be something other than the things she already has, that might make her feel this way.

Thanks for the answers guys. But she's not pregnant, because this has been going on since we met, I just want to know what's going on. We also think she might have endometriosis, but I don't want to jump to conclusions and answer my own question. It's just that her sister has it. Just trying to figure it out though. Thanks again.

Maybe she just have something on her mind that bother her for a long time or she want to lose weight or something else you never know unless you find out.

she needs to get another opinion from a different doctor, perhaps an internist and also a dietician. It may be that she is on the wrong pills or pills that are working against each other. Get another opinion from a different doctor and see if that helps. It may also be something that no one has thought of so taking a history by a different doctor may pinpoint that. for example, taking too many tums can actually cause death so it may be something like that which no one has considered yet. Good Luck to you both

Well i dont know if this is possible because i dont know you guys's sex life but is it possible she could be pregnant? There are several types of medications that basically render birth control useless to preventing pregnancy. This could be one possibility. Other than that, maybe she is over medicated. I also have a problem similar to this and i dont know what it is called but it is something where my brain forgets to tell my throat to swallow the food once it gets into my throat. I had similar symptoms. They prescribed me a medication called reglan and also some acid reflux medication. She could try some over the counter Prilosec. That seems to work for me. Good luck!

Perhaps, but if she doesn't follow medical advice, it's hard to tell. Maybe she'll consider eating healthy and then seeing if she still feels sick? Currently, if you go to a doctor, she'll probably just be told what she already knows, to change her diet. If she gives it a try, you'll be able to see if there really is an underlying cause.
(This isn't meant to be medical advice, just my reasoning)

i'm 12 weeks pregnant and my morning affliction began whilst i replaced into approximately 4 weeks pregnant. i replaced into an identical way, throwing up all day, and could no longer save nutrition down. all of us shows crackers first element interior the morning once you upward push up, yet i could no longer even consume crackers. What helped me the main replaced into nibbling on straight forward bread all day, and ingesting bland nutrition.

If she's taking a lot of medications and not eating much she has noting in her stomach to absorb all the medications. That could be part of it but it sounds like it could be a number of things.

It allmost sounds like alcoholic denial. SHE has to recognize and admit she has a problem. Until she opens her eyes; just be patient and show her LOTS of love. Right now she needs to feel secure and not preassured. Lots and lots of love

she's gotta change her diet and lifestyle unless she enjoys being sick... long-term medication is not good for the body...
