My best friend has had stomach issues her entire life. She has always had a weak stomach and vomited often. She has never been able to eat spicy, rich, or high fiber foods, but recently she has gotten much worse. She is 23 years old and is unable to eat any foods with high fat or fiber content. When she does, she becomes ill and vomits. She is unable to drink alcohol because it upsets her stomach. The doctors thought she might have a condition where she digests food much slower than most people, but they found this was not the case. Then they though that that she might have a tumor on her pituitary gland causing a hormone imbalance. This was also not the case. She is restricted to eating white rice and deli meat and she has just about had it. Can anyone help us find answers? She just wants to live a normal life.

Have the doctors tested for ciliac disease?

[srjames87]

I don't believe so (I'll as her), but she can eat white bread without feeling sick, so doesn't that negate the possibility of ciliac?

Many times it does cancel out the possibility of ciliac, not always. A few more guesses would be IBS or Crohn's Disease.

I asked her and she said that she tested negative for ciliac. I will inquire about the others. Thanks!
