Lexington, SC

Several weeks ago I began being able to eat smaller amounts than I was. Then one day I got really sick to my stomach, felt dizzy and threw up. From that day on my stomach has been funny. I have watch what I eat or it makes me nauseated and I sometimes throw up. This has been going on for 4 or more weeks and I still can't eat normally. I've had an EGD, colonoscopy, and several gall bladder test but all were fine. I still feel bad and my stomach always feels like it's digesting. It feels nervous… read more

Or eat a decent amount. It sometimes took up to 30 hours to empty. I was having problems with too many doses of meds in stomach at once.

A stomach emptying test? The lupus affected the muscles in my stomach and it was taking 23-36 hours for food to digest. Let me know if you want more info.

I had an ulcer over summer but when I got checked again it was gone. They checked my gall bladder, for chrons disease, ulcerative colitis and other things but it wasn't any of those. I take meds to suppress my lupus so I do often get colds and sinus infections. I stay nauseated and certain things that I eat hurt my stomach.
