I have been sick with digestive track issues for the past ten years. The past nine mths i have had trouble eating anything at all really as well as the quantity of food.

Let me just tell u about some of the food i can no longer eat.....
Meat....the smell and texture
Coffee... not that i ever drank it but the smell of it now majes me sick
Cheese.. anything with melted cheese. The smell and texture makes me sick
Pasta/bread/ cereal...... lets say i would pay for it the next day. Tones of cramps. Difficulty passing it out. Often comes out with blood. Dr's know about this.
Fruit juice is generally too acidic for me. At best ill have acid farts (where u think u have to go poo just to fart acid)
Salad type veggies go thru me and ezit me like the fires of hell. U dont want to know more.
Cold water. Sits in my stomach like a rock leaving me hurrled over in pain id not vomiting it up. Room temp is sometimes too cold.
Banannas. The smell and taate will make me vomit instantly.
Rice. It makes me swell. Majorly. Pants can go from being loose to on thw floor after a cup of brown rice.
So whats left to eat thats not acidic, tastes gross to me, smells bad, has good texture and will not leave me in a hurry?

Lately and only on certain days i can eat yogurt. Boiled potatoes and carrots. Mini wheats cereal with half hot water half milk. Chocolate. V8. Grapefruit. Strwaberries. Apple sauce.
Should i just start buying baby food?

I joke. But i am looking fir real help.

    It sounds like you should talk to your doctor. You may want to look at some diets that may help... AIP, GAPS, FODMAP... I don't know how these would fit with your symptoms, but they have alleviated symptoms similar to yours (not just the texture, smell stuff). But, talk to your doctor...

    Can you eat sweet potatoes? (It is a thought I had after reading that.)
    Have you been tested for Celiac?
    You might have lactose intolerance even though you are eating some of of it.

    A good acupuncturist can help you if an MD cannot.

    Go see your doctor get them to refer you to a Registered dietician

    If you are passing blood and have this many sensitivities, you need to be checked out by a GI specialist. I would push for a colonoscopy and GI ultrasound.

    If your Dr refuses, find a second opinion.

    Have you been tested for Celiac Disease? If you haven't you should! Go to Celiac.com and read more. You can also pm me if you have questions, I have the disease, along with other family members. Your symptoms are typical for this condition.
