Chronic Indigestion? What's wrong?!
Question: Chronic Indigestion.? What's wrong.?
My sister in law has been having these weird symptoms recently, and we're not sure what to do. She doesn't have health insurance, so she can't really go to a doctor and have a bunch of tests.
She's 19.
Her symptoms:
Chronic indigestion. She says that she feels sick everytime she eats. The only things she can eat without getting really bad and persistent heart burn, bloating, and overall indigestion, is lettuce.
She said she's been constipated and gets really bad abdominal cramps.
She also hasn't had her period in 4 months, but all the hpt's she's taken have come up negative, so I don't think she's pregnant.
She frequently feels nauseous, especially in the morning, but it usually only lasts a few minutes.
I have no idea what it could be. We looked it up online, and it came up with things like gastrointestinal cancer, Chrohn's disease, IBS, colitis ulcers...but they all have similar symptoms, so we don't know where to go from here, especially since she can't afford a doctor.
Could it just be general indigestion.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
she could be simply dehydrated you know.......... your body needs water for every single cellular function it performs ..... to digest food, to breath, to think, to transport nutrients, to lubricate your joints...... get her to drink more water and ditch any sodas, alcohol and too much caffeinated drinks as they'll all dehydrate her terribly.
food intolerances such as lactose intolerance can also produce nasty nasty acid reflux ...... as well as excessive belching, gassiness, achy bones, insomnia, constipation, ribbony and stringy stools, wet f*arting (sorry, no other way to put it) ....... ditch the milk and dairy products for a few days and see if that improves her digestion ........ eat more wholegrains and cereals like brown rice too daily........ a bowlfull of brown rice with extra virgin olive oil drizzled over it and a bit of rock salt and leafy greens like broccolli, celery, kale, chard, buk choy each day will nail her constipation for her i promise.
oh, leafy and green vegies and fresh fruit are all rich in calcium which is in a far easier form for your body to assimilate than milk and dairy products without the high levels of fat........ much better for you...... particularly if you can't digest the milk and dairy....... don't eat the foods that make you soo very sick.

Homeopathic PractitionerHealth Question & Answer
Ectopic pregnancies usually give a positive hpt. And she would be in severe pain if she had a 4 month ectopic.
I wonder about certain exposures in her history - like has she taken antibiotics fairly recently.? International travel.? Does she get constipated often or chronically.? Dietary habits.? There are several possible gastrointestinal issues, including some you already mentioned.
My recommendation is the same for any of them - as a baseline place to start. She should do a comprehensive colon-parasite cleanse and I think a 60 to 90 day program would be good. The one I recommend is very safe, gentle, and comprehensive. A three month supply of the ingredients is extremely reasonable.
Have her drink plenty of fluids (pure water) and eat healthy food as described previously.
I like people to be educated about their health decisions, so I recommend reading this page and all the links under 'Read more interesting information...'
