You might try to help him with dietary changes. I noticed in your post that you mentioned he had a tangerine. You might try to avoid citrus fruits, raw fruits, and veggies. Instead, have cooked/canned fruits and vegetables that are not acidic. Small, frequent, high-protein meals that are easily digestible might help him. I'm thinking about scrambled eggs, baked potatoes, and applesauce.

I wish you well as you work with this difficult problem. Will you keep posting updates?

@hopeful33250 yeah I saw a post updates and I really appreciate you and your suggestions. The stomach specialist he went to did some laxatives and medication but it's not helping. I just got home and asked him if he had anything to eat today and he said no and that the very tiny amount of food he had yesterday morning which was a couple of eggs and a piece of toast has not even digested yet and that it's still in there lodged. I asked him if he has had any liquid and he said yes but I doubt if he had very much. I keep calling this MD with 55 years experience to see if I can get him in sooner and we have an appointment on August 20th but that's a long time from now considering his condition. Thank you again
