I just wanted to share with you a problem I have with my meds. Several months ago I started having egg belches (sulfur). The smell was awful. As it progressed, the gas started smelling more like garbage. Two to three hours after the gas started, I was vomiting. The pain in my stomach was awful. I ended up in the ER three times and was hospitalized for two days at one point. The drs. were confused but they took out my gall bladder that was badly damaged. At that time I assumed I was cured of the problem. A month or so later, I had another stomach attack. Each one was getting worse and worse. Again, the smell and gas was awful. Finally a dr. suggested what he called the fried egg sandwich test. They put a tracer in the sandwich. I ate it and then laid on an xray machine for two hours. Turns out that my stomach was taking 10 hours or more to empty compared to the normal three. So my meals were laying around in there and turning to garbage. I switched meds a few times since then. Most of them caused the same problem. I'm to the point that I can only take my meds when I'm desparate because they also slow down my stomach. I take meth and flexeril but cannot take them more than once a day. I still have attacks but not as often cause I'm not taking the meds.

Just an FYI for an usual problem.
