irritable bowel syndrome

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

My 16 year old son has suffered for several years with a mysterious

stomach pain. He has seen a gastroenteroligist and has had all of

the tests these doctors use to diagnose. There has not been any

concrete finding except small duodenal pits that are inflamed and

irritated. He has such severe pain that he basically stays in bed

for days at a time. He is losing weight and can't eat much without

causing more pain. I have already cut out all of the caffeine,

spicy foods and chocolate as well as all acidic foods. He doesn't

seem to be doing any better with this. He is on so many

prescriptions I can hardly keep up. They do not help either. I am

wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this type of

stomach disorder and, if so, what did you do to fix it? I am at my

wits end with the medical doctors. They can't help him.

 

Thank you all for your help.
