Undiagnosed for nearly 4 years, need some quality of life back!

My wife has Alzheimer's and has suffered with stomach issues such as discomfort, pain and nausea for over two years. She has had an upper GI, colonoscopy,MRI, CT and blood tests. All have come back negative. She has seen two Gastroenterologist over the years and just lately she was told that he was out of ideas.
Her stomach issues are compounded by her Alzheimer's disease and I am at a loss as to where to go for help.

So sorry to hear that your wife is suffering. Not sure whereabouts you are, but private care seems to be the only option of any care. Could it be a side effect of any Alzheimer's medication she's taking?
It's so frustrating when you know there's something wrong and all the tests keep coming back okay. At least she has you fighting her corner, don't give up. I really hope you find some answers soon.

A naturopath suggested eliminating all grains and reminded me that potatoes are a nightshade vegetable, which can be challenging to sensitive stomachs. Very helpful when I’m able to follow his advice to the letter. Good luck!
