Hi Ilean, my daughter has the same problem, when she eats or drinks it hurts. If she eats too much she ends up vomiting due to the pain. Have you found any solution to your problem?

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. My 4th GI doctor did an EUS - Electronic Ultrasound on April 10th. He discovered moderate inflammation all over my stomach and polyps. Gastritis is what I believe he thought the inflammation was from. He prescribed me Sucralfate 1 gm 2 times a day. Most websites say you should take it 4 times per day
but he said twice. It made me very nauseous so I started taking Zofran as well. It was still hard for me to eat but after about 6 weeks my pain was pretty much gone. The web says it can take up to 8 weeks to work. I still feel bloating and discomfort after eating much but I think that is because I had lost 33 pounds during the 1st 12 months I was dealing with this. It is miserable and you can’t understand until you experience it. I hope this helps. One other major thing is I went to a pain management doctor in December when I was down to 95 lbs and he was shocked at my size. He prescribed me one 4 mg pill of Hydromorphone per day to be taken 40 minutes before I ate. Then I would eat even a few slices of turkey and try to drink some fluids for hydration and I wouldn’t feel the pain and discomfort from eating and drinking. I gained 5 pounds in 4 months this way. He was a God send for my overall health. I saw 3 GI’s at that point, spent 7 days total in the hospital, 4 or 5 ER visits and not one Dr cared about my weight loss and dehydration. I have now gained another 2 lbs but am having to pay out of pocket for IV fluids. I can’t find a Dr that takes dehydration seriously enough to prescribe it for me so my insurance will pay. I don’t understand!! Best of luck to you and your daughter. Please let me know if you find a solution.
