Bless you! I think nausea and vomitting are the absolute worse - even though earlier I thought cramping and diarrhea were! :-) Seriously, I have had those symptoms for up to a week at a time and thought: I absolutely can't stand this! No appetitite at all - would make myself eat a bite of bread or even 2 sips of Lactose/Gluten Free Slim Fast. My daughter had hyperemesis with both pregnancies and thought I'd go crazy watching her vomit 20+ x a day - sometimes just moving her head caused an attack. Has your dr. ever suggested Zofran? It's a very strong drug and usually only given to chemo patients for nausea, but my daughter's OB gave it to her to save her life. It's strong and causes constipation, but that, in conjunction with the Reglan, saved her! She's a very strong-willed person with a high pain tolerance, but after 3 months of this 24/7 and multiple hospitalizations, she told me "I don't think I can stand it any more" - thank God! that's when we found the new OB and the drugs. I can't believe with the MD telling you your stomach was like hamburger, he hasn't continued to try and try and try.... maybe take your records to a new GI???? This is unexcusable. There's a stomach condition called "Dyspepsia" that sometimes goes hand-in-hand with IBS. I've had it and the Nexium controls it somewhat. A lot of times, I just wake up with that taste in my mouth andit is the pits! Also, the Phenergen is good, but knocks me on my butt! You can break it up into 1/4 tablets and find your tolerance for it too. Plus, it comes in suppos. form and I just heard it can be made into a ceam you rub onto your wrists - by a compounding pharmacist.... Wish I knew more - you have all my sympathy - but, there's got to be an answer out there, maybe starting with a new GI doc?
Prayers & Blessings!
