I Always Feel Ill After Eating- Help!

[BCD]

The main trouble is how I feel after eating. During my daily business I can't eat much at all. I survive on lots of fluids and Glucotabs to keep my blood sugar up. If I eat something the size of, say, a banana I fell really unwell- a mix of nausea and discomfort. It is made much worse by movement. For example, if I eat a banana and then walk around Tesco I will feel dreadful after five minutes. If I move after eating (even a small amount) I end up feeling as though I'm going to vomit.

This is not a social anxiety, nor do ?I have any anxieties around food.

Yesterday I saw a GI doc at the hospital who diagnosed me as having dysmotility. I've researched the symptoms and I have most of them, but none of the online stuff mentions movement making the symptoms worse.

Have you any experience of dysmotility? If so, how can I ease the symptoms?

The doc also diagnosed me as having globus, but it really does not feel like a lump in the throat. This 'globus' is only there when the stomach discomfort is there.

My GP is useless and did not want to refer me at all, so he won't help me.

In recent years I have suffered with the following symptoms:

Severely bloated after eating
Full after eating only a few mouthfuls
Nausea
General stomach discomfort
Extreme tiredness

I really feel that if I can't ease the symtoms that life is not worth living. The quality of my life is just awful. I cannot work or socialise, I cannot do anything that requires movement. I may as well just lie in bed all day.

I genuinelly wish I was dead- it is that bad, yet my GP is not interested.

That's a tough one. I occasionally feel ill after eating, but it seems associated with anxiety or panic. In your case I would try seeing a different doctor. They might be able to give you a different answer. Don't worry though, it should be treatable in either case. GP's usually don't have enough knowledge or experience to deal with some more difficult cases. Most are adequate for the routine matters, but this is the reason specialists exist.
