Empathy and Advice Welcomed Potentially Getting A New Dx

Hey PurpleWolf

I am not familiar with your condition but wanted to offer moral support and share suggestions from what I read about your condition.

Biggest take away was to keep a food journal and write down what you eat and how you feel afterwards. This will help you determine which foods make your symptoms worse.

Eat smaller meals and take short walks after eating.

If you’re worried about your calorie intake, maybe include smoothies in your diet to make sure you’re getting a variety of healthy options to your diet.

I wish you the best as you’re going through this uncomfortable and painful health concern.

I just looked it up on Johns Hopkins medical site. It sounds scary, painful, and pretty terrible. I'm so sorry it's afflicting you. I used to get nauseous, unable to keep food down, and throw up. It was due to abuse in the past. The easiest foods I know of are unsweetened apple sauce, plain crackers, and plain nonfat yogurt. But. I'm not a doctor nor a nurse, and since they've delayed your appointment, I suggest you call them and ask for a list of recommended foods while you are waiting to be seen. Best health to you @PurpleWolf08. Please do what you can to avoid disordered eating, although it's understandable right now under the circumstances. (h) if they help

There's a simple food treatment that might help (from a book of food cures). I'm taking a wild guess about the most helpful one based on what you've said, so of course discontinue if you don't get good results.

Cook together a bulb of garlic and three slices of ginger; mix with a teaspoon of honey and some water (not to be used in the event you have hot or dry eye disorders, mouth sores, or tongue ulcers).

I hope something can help

We don't have ginger in the house outside of my ginger and tumeric pills for nausea that have stopped working lately.

It may take a little extra work to get some fresh ginger root, or any of the other ingredients from a grocery store, but I think it could be worth the effort. Would you have an obstacle in getting to the store, or someone buying this for you?

I'm sorry the pills have stopped working. Do you have any idea why they don't help anymore?

I have pots and eds too. It's awful sometimes. When the food you eat is too fat or dense the gallbladder can't keep up leading to constant nausea that worsens with movement and to episodes of the most awful stomach pain that lasts for days. Generally the solution is switching to bland easily digestible food for a while. No spice, no frying, no fat, no fast food etc. It should get better over time then you can start introducing the normal food again

Yea I don't drive and my mom won't get that stuff

Ok.

How are you feeling now? Has anything changed?

If things are the same or worse, I could try to think of a way you could get those ingredients.

I've been keeping things down thankfully

Still pretty nauseous and in pain
