The digestion problems and undigested food makes me wonder if your enzymes for digestion are missing or to low.
Has that been looked into?

Have you thought about an expert naturopath or homeopathic dr?
They will look into this type of problem with out throwing more meds into the mix.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I have been tasted for lactose intolerance, and celiac disease. Both came back negative. In October I went to the ER because I had a really, really bad headache and was shaking violently. I was found out to be dehydrated. I had blood taked to check for my electrolytes, but it turns out that they were suprisingly fine. It is still a possibility, I guess. I think my doctors my doctors still might want to run more blood tests for nutritional defiencies.

My mom likes to go to the health foods store and sometimes she buys me different tablets for digestion but they never seem to help. I will try and see if I can find a dr who specializes in that kind of stuff. Thanks.

as far as celiac testing, it has a fairly high false negative rate, and wont show gluten sensitivity....the "food left in stomache" may speak to a lack of stomache acid, rather than too much, which the omeprazole would not be helping- also contributing to a Vit B12 def. i wonder if you might try a DAN! doctor.....and going gluten free for a couple of months will not hurt you. good luck

I didn't know that celiac testing had a high false negative. That's interesting. I've actually been wondering the same thing about the lack of stomach acid. The omeprazole "kind of" helps because I get heartburn, but not as much as I would like it to.

I recently changed primary care doctors, I went from seeing a pediatrician, to seeing the same family practice doctor my mom goes to. My mother was getting fed up with my pediatrician, I kept coming in with a bad stomach ache and none of her advice was helping. I went in for a check up with my new doctor. She did a thorough examination and requested copies of my files. She wanted to check if I've ever been tested for anemia. I know that B12 def. can cause anemia problems, so I think you might be on to something. Thanks.

What's a DAN doctor?

A DAN! doc is "defeat autism now!" they apparently are more into the wholistic medicine thing....nutrition and such, and perhaps are more curious? lol ..good luck
