Unable to keep food down

@hikeema123
I’m sorry to hear that.
NJ also have some excellent university medical centers- especially Hackensack University Hospital. Others in Princeton, Newark, New Brunswick.

I have already been to two gastroenterologist and ENT doctors in Newark at the University Hospital. No clue of what is going on. Called it a NON-SPECIFIC MOTILITY DISORDER. I want relief to hold food down and regain my weight. It's not the trouble of swallowing it's the feeling of my food sitting on my stomach and feels like something in my throat so I have to manually regurgitate my food so the feeling of something being stuck to be removed and that doesn't help often. I want to eat again and regain my weight. Can anyone please help me???!

I have the same issues from 2018. I vomit part of everything I eat or drink. I can’t even hold down water without an issue. I have been diagnosed with aperastalsis and achalasia. Ive had a Heller Myotomy but it didn’t do anything. My burping and hiccuping is out of control and I believe thats what causes the food to come up. Ive been to “many” different types of doctors including “many” gastroenterologists. I’m from NJ and even flown out to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Ive been to Johns Hopkins in Maryland and a consultation with a Doc in Florida. Nerve doctors. You name it Ive seen the doctor. Now the new thing Im being told is its a mental disorder and Im excessively swallowing air. Im. It buying it but I’m currently seeing a therapist to rule it out or fix it.

Update I went to see another gastrointolgist on Monday keep saying a NON-SPECIFIC MOTILITY DISORDER ok but how do we fix the issue for me to eat again. The prescribed me an antidepressants and changed my bowels medications.
What is Gerd the Prilosec isn't working am I taking it right will the antidepressants will help resolve the feeling of something stuck in my throat. When will I be able to eat again. What foods am I able to find something to eat that will slide down without regurgitating. When I throw up I feel on the side of my throat like a lump or something but three endoscope test says nothing there. Anyone have these symptoms please reach out and help me with my issues please

DID YOU have a barium swallow? they can see how the liquid goes down/if it is regurgitated etc etc. it is possible you might have esophageal achalasia (they cannot see this on an upper scope - since it is a motility issue. There are some procedures they can do to help. the regular GI docs know little about motility issues - you need to find someone that specializes in it in your area. The place to start though is to get your doctor to order a barium swallow.

this is from the net:
Currently, no treatments resolve achalasia entirely, but there are several approaches to relieve symptoms, such as dilation, surgery, botulinum toxin injections and medications. The goal of treatment is to normalize contractions in the esophagus and help the sphincter relax and allow food to pass into the stomach.

Yes I have had that done. They see nothing but some backup but other than nothing to obstruct my throat. The good passes down but I don't understand why I have the feeling of something is stuck. Again I am mometry done and says my esophagus is moving properly so the source I need to know is how do I keep food down and not have a feeling as if food is stuck I don't have to manually regurgitate after a burp that doesn't seem to want to come up??

I misspelled a lot of words. I had a mometry done and it says my esophagus is not working properly it's an Esophageal motility issues. Unknown how I had received this night mare. And it was supposed to have read food not good. I apologize for the misspelling.

So sorry to hear about your digestive issues…miserable and dangerous.
I had some similar experiences, not being able to swallow, had gerd, hiatal hernia, swollen esophagus, etc etc.
First doc, seemed to have no clue and ordered no tests. I lost a lot of unnecessary weight, and started to loose focus. In desperation, I went to a privately owned supplement and vitamin store. Explained my situation and they recommended something that is made from a porcine enzyme (pig) product. Again, desperate…Well, after several days I was able to eat and not feel like something was stuck. Told doc about this product, and as he walked out of the room said there were better things than that. 😱 never shared that info…
Changed docs…
Second doc ordered 4 tests within 2 weeks, and found some things…and put me on a diet for CIBO.
Changed my life…you have to be completely diligent on the FODMAP diet, so read about this stuff. Lots of info online.
There is also an expensive med that might work in your situation, but still have to stick to the diet. If that is something you need.
Good luck and keep searching!!!

Thank you can you share the drug so I can see if I can receive it. Again thank you

It has been about 3-4 years, I think it was rifaximin. Some docs won’t RX it because you don’t have the right/wrong issue.
You still have to follow the diet carefully, as the goal is to starve the bad bacteria. If you give them a snack, they are off and running!!! If you have been diagnosed with SIBO, you can get really amazing info about the diet online. 3 months and then slowly add forbidden foods 🤣
‘SingleCare’ treatments and medication, Mayo, and IBS Diets and FODMAP food lists are great sources.
With your doctor’s help, only you can heal yourself if you have SIBO…
Good luck!
