My symptoms??!


Question: I've had digestive problems for yeaaars. For years every once in a while I will get these horrible stomach pains and have stomach flu-like symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting, etc). And to this day almost everything I eat causes me to have some type of discomfort. And forget about drinking alcohol. I feel like I'm dying when I do.Going to the doctor has not helped much they just give me medicine and that's it. I'm planning on going to a specialist but until then...anyone know what this could be. I feel I am too young to have these problems :(

Have you been checked for Pancreatitis? or even Gallstones? Alcohol triggers both of them. You need to see a GI asap.

You might have IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) . There are two types...one that causes diarrhea and the another causes constipation. They are treated differently.
Because you are still young (I am just guessing) you should have an GI specialist for a possible colonoscopy to rule out ulcerative colitis or Chrohn's disease.
Of course the last possibility though unusual based on your history is lactase deficiency.
