Im a 15 year old male vacationing in FL. For about the last week i have lost alot of appetite even when i have not eaten all day I still feel full. I have been burping alot and have constant dirrehea. I feel like throwing up whenever i try to eat anything. I have been around alot of europeans who seem sick. Is this a flu or something worse. I have symptoms similar to gastro paresis but I dont believe i could have gotten that so soon. Thanks in advance.

I continue having chronic abdominal pain and feel as if something is burning inside the stomach. It feels steamy inside the stomach. The burning sense is strong. I also had a hernia in the intestine last year and went through surgery. I see stones in stool, but gastro-enterologist ignores it whenever i say stones in stool. Tried every possible medication and remedy, but no relief. What to do.

i’m 16 and very active in sports(football lineman,wrestling,mma,power-lifting) i was also use to working out twice a day really hardcore. i got this post-viral-gastro-paresis( my stomach is paralyzed and cant move down food). so i have a hard time eating food because it ends up roting in my stomach and i eventually throw up( i’m not bulimic. i freaking love food). anyway ive lost 20 pounds in the past month and have been hardly working out. i went from 30% body fat 5′6 190 pounds(chunky) to still 5′6 idk the body fat and 168 pounds(flabby). i can tell my muscles are smaller and i lost 1/2 of a inch from around my arms. how much strength have i lost.
also the illness isnt the problem trust me i have had evry posible test in the world. if you want to recomend supplements they have to be fat, lactose, and fiber free
please acually read. im not trying to lose weight.

Doctors at the local hospital have no idea how they are connected or why it has happened. She has had gastro paresis for a couple years I believe and just recently things have gotten worse. They did exploratory surgery and found nothing. I dont know what else to do.

Do I have Endometriosis.

Stomach cramping, throwing up, constipation, back cramps, unusually long periods, pain 10 days before periods, shoulder blade and upper back pain. Doctors said I have gastro paresis, but they aren’t sure what else. Does anyone know if I might have Endometriosis. If you do have Endometriosis does this sound familiar. [been going on for 2 years.]

I am 16 years old and have severe post-viral gastro-paresis I have been told that I have huge tonsils but didn’t need them taken out. Normally I’m extremley constipated and don’t poop without an enema but the past day I have had diareaha, the chills, heat flashes and my throat hurts a lot and its hard to breathe. Could this be tonsilitis and if so what should I do.
i forgot to mention that post-viral gastroparesis is a disease in which your stomach gets paralyzed and it is difficult to get the proper nutrition needed as you either throw up the food or your stomach can only take in so much.

could this be tonsilitis. see below for some more details.
