Those with SFN do commonly have AN also...but that doesn't mean it's likely. Much of the answer would go back to what's the cause of the SFN in the first place.
The 'milkish' drink then scan during your annual exam does not sound like an empty test. It sounds more like barium used with xrays (upper GI series).
It will be interesting to see what the pulmo doc says about your SOB. Maybe it's a diaphragm dysfunction, since you're not wheezing, etc. I'm sure he'll figure it out.

Well, I dont know the cause of this....in fact, my skin biopsy was negative! I wish I know the cause, so, it would have been easier to deal with it, emotionally. Not that dealing with the physical pain is easier but at least I know that it real.
If AN is involved, particulary gastroparesis, is the feeling of "fullness/bloating" persistent, or is there anytime that your abdomen feels normal? For the past 2 days, I have been reducing my already small intake (I am essentially not a big eater). Yesterday, I still feel so bloated after eating small amounts. Today, my stomach seems to feel normal. Each time after eating, I moved a lot to let food go down. Maybe that could be the reason why I did not feel so full today. Does gastroparesis improve with lots of movements after eating?
You are right, it could have been barium enema because I remember the test was Upper GI Series.
The shortness of breath is still bothering me. I searched about the diaphragm dysfunction...I hope it is not it.
