Hi @chergil! I am so sorry about your son. It is difficult to suffer, but one's own suffering is nothing compared to watching your child suffer and I am sorry that you can't seem to find a solution. Has any doc recommended trying digestive enzymes or tested to see whether he has normal levels of pancreatic enzymes which are mostly responsible for digestion. I take very heavy dosages of enzymes to try and let my pancreas rest, but the man made does not work as well as what your body makes, so things still move slowly through my system, but it does make a big difference in the nutrition I get from my food. The ready to drink shakes from Glucerna, Boost, Ensure, etc...are a good way to get some nutrition when solid food is not an option. They are typically at least one of my meals every day because of nausea. You have my prayers and positive vibes going forward and I hope you can find some solution for his problem. Please keep us informed.
