all, anybody ever heard of an allergy diet. i'm not talking about brat diet, as he can't tolerate bread. i know that the first thing is rice, and then one adds on from there. adds what.
here's the problem. my 17 year old son has been having nausea, and gagging for the last two months. md put him on nexium which helped somewhat. now for the last two days he can't keep anything down. no, i take that back, i put him on clears yesterday, and that is fine. had 1/2 cup plain rice last night, and no problem. plain piece of bread this am, went to school, went to br, threw up....
we have been back and forth to the md 4 times in the last two months. have a call into the nurse right now to renew the rx for the nexium, and also tell her about the vomiting, and some pain after eating....right lower quadrant.......any ideas.....
please help me if you have any ideas or suggestions. he is losing weight, and he is getting depressed about having to stay home. i'm an r.n. and i can't help my own baby.......help me....
I thought that an endoscopy was only done after a barium swallow? I had a barium swallow which showed nothing and they then wanted to do an endoscopy. Which never took place due to my fears lol. Things worked out though. How is his bp? I know when my bp is high I have a hard time eating (cant get the food down period). Let us know.

hi all. thanks for all the good advice. endo was clean....go for the swallow next monday the 19th. haven't heard about the blood work yet.
my husband, who is not in the medical profession was wondering why they didn't order a flat plate first....does that really show anything.
in fairness to my doctor, my son is a very bad historian, and would just descibe it as gaggy and nauseous....once he told me that he had pain, and once he started throwing up for three days straight (could hold down juice and plain rice) then they stood up and took notice.
my son is afraid that they will find nothing wrong. i already have my husband checking out our psychiatric coverage........the gi guy says that my son may need to learn to relax, and not try to suck everything up, and not be so perfect........
