Curse my sensitive digestive system. Why can't I have new and delicious foods without my stomach having a shit-fit? I mean, I made a really good tomato sauce that I wanted to finish off but no, my stomach can only take so much before I feel that one more bite and I'll throw it back up.

Another example is when my family went to the Baton Rouge. The dinner was delicious but because most of it was new and foreign to my digestive system, I barely made it through the drive home before shitting it all out.

Why can't I have good food? D;

welcome to my world... i eat dinner and 5-10 minutes later I am on the can having a digestive tract colon blow!

Well, there's also the time Sam and I both got that from McDonald's.
Which is why we try to stay away from there. Usually nothing bothers me, but that was just...disgusting. Never again.
I fought with my gall bladder for two years, pain, gas, among other problems, including the ever popular constipation. Very very unpleasant. My mother has the same problem, I had my gall bladder removed, but she's a little too chicken to have it taken out, so she still puts up with it. She said the pain is worse than child birth and how stupid she is for putting up with it.
Worst part, because I let my gall bladder go so long, it nearly killed me. Eventually it can become pancreatitis, which can be deadly without treatment. I spent a while in the hospital on that one.
Some people just have issues with certain proteins, fats and sugars. You may have an issue with fruit sugar. Sam's stomach just has issues with food in general, doesn't matter what he eats. There's some treatments for it, but most of them are worse than the symptoms.
There's something intriguing I read about yesterday. I don't know if you've ever heard of a physicist named Dr. Robert Beck. He said that many of our ills, including stomach issues are caused by microscopic parasites that most doctors don't even see. He developed a therapy using blood electrification. I've read some of the studies, and it does seem promising. The weird part is you can make the device for "blood cleaning" yourself, he made his discovery public and the voltage/circuit diagrams are on the internet for download. The whole device costs about 30 dollars to make if you build it yourself and according to him and many other real medical doctors, it works. The man was nearly 80 when he died, but it was from a physical problem, not from disease, which is also intriguing.
He also did some studies on colloidal silver as well.

I hear anal does wonders

i have the same problem..usually when i go out to dinner and on the way home im practically dying in the front seat. Happens at home too, eat dinner, few minutes later...you get the idea.

I don't have issues with "good food".

You can eat very good food, natural and healthy or eat at McDonald's every day. Either is suitable, really. My concerns revolve around poorly stored and/or prepared foods of any kind. Food-wise, there's nothing worse than the tummy rumblings and the sudden need to unload your bowels, necessitating a complete disposal of that pair of pants.

My body doesn't know how to digest things that are high in fat or sodium.
After going for so long not eating these things, I will vomit or feel sick if I eat a regular sized portion.

I spent an entire night throwing up a few handfuls of ketchup chips.

Uh, dude, you need to go get checked for gallbladder disease. I'm completely serious. That isn't normal to do that, and that sounds like what you're doing. It's pretty common, especially in women.

Unless you like the idea of having surgery to remove gallstones.

I would be a bit skeptical about that if i were you. It sounds like pseudoscience.

Diva; if you are taking pre natal vitamins, stop taking them for a few days. They are unusually high and iron and therefore will make you constipated.

Then power slam a few cups of coffee from Starbucks.

Yeah Lexi, you'll definitely want to get that checked out. I had a teacher last year who has gall bladder disease, and she couldnt eat fats at all or else she would become violently ill. It was very hard for us in South America to explain to our hosts that she could not eat the food they had prepared, and in most foreign countries that is insulting. She ended up trying to be nice, knowing she would be sick, and in turn, she became very very sick, to the point where she could not stand up.

The silver, yeah. I'm not so sure about the electricity though. There was a guy on Today who's been living on Colloidal Silver, it hasn't hurt him, but he turned blue inside and out.
If you can't get help or relief from a doctor...sometimes you'll try anything.
God knows I have. I've been taking Omega 3 fatty acid capsules, basically fish oil, for the past few weeks for my back, I have sciatica and it's one of those things...like luggage, you get it once and you can't get rid of it. You will do anything to get rid of the pain, that's how bad it is, you can't sit still or lie down for long periods of time, you can't stand or walk for long periods of time, it's just general pain and discomfort that you just can't get rid of.
This stuff I thought was a hoax as well, until I tried it. I'm not pain free, but it's manageable, normal pain relievers work now, when before, all they did was take the edge off. I'm taking normal dosages of advil now, two tablets twice or three times a day, instead of 6 or 8 twice a day.
So, I wouldn't be so willing to cast off things. What might seem to be quackery to you, could help somebody. Even if it just has a placebo effect.

Shael

placebo effect can be helpful.

My stomach has been screwed up for a few months now as well... I'm thinking it could be gall bladder related.

My issue consists of incredible pains from the stomach. It feels as though the walls of my stomach are on fire. Sometimes this pain reaches my lower back and makes my muscles sore. At times the pain has been so intense I have not been able to walk and have nearly passed out. I've had these episodes last anywhere from 15 minutes to five hours or more.

The first time I remember it occurring was after a horrible midnight snack of corn chips and pepperonis. The pain was alleviated by making myself throw up snack.

I figured it was due to the high grease content of what I had eaten, and stayed away from such foods. The pain seemed to return after especially fatty meals.

Shying away from things such as fries and potato chips for a month got rid of the pains.

However, recently, I no longer have 'grumbling stomach' when I am hungry. Now I get these same excruciating pains until I eat something. WTF?

And I've also had the stomach pains when non-greasy meals were eaten. So I don't know what is causing them... I ponder if they are stress induced. My body has some messed up ways of dealing with stress... at first it was migraines, than potentially the stomach pains, and recently EYE TWITCHING. GAHH!

That's called "University Life". It will go away when the summer comes.

So yes, in other words stress related. The eye twitching I get when I'm stressed out or overtired as well.

University has me at wits end more often than not...

Yeah I suppose even the 'healthy choices' at school are still laden with everything bad.

Wow I can't wait until the lease on my house starts... no more meal plan... fuck I hate living in residence but those stories are for another thread!
