Sent to Health Experts June 18, 2006 4:01 a.m.

my father is very sick. we have taken him to many hospitals, he had his gulblatter removed, and still no results. He cannot digest anything not even water, the doctors have been running many tests on him and they are stumped. He had some pollups in his stomach and they removed one and ran a biopsy and it came back negetive. Does anyone out there have any ideas on what may be wrong with him and what the doctors may have overlooked?

How is he not digesting things? Diarrhea? Vomitting? Can you give me more details as far as symptoms?

Thanks,

Kerry

Has he been checked for a blockage in his intestinal tract? Or a bacterial infection? Or maybe even an ulcer. Have they done any scope tests to look in his stomach or in his bowels?

The above are some questions you can ask, to perhaps lead the doctors to look at some other things.

Hope that helps!

they have even gone as far as bringing in a shrink. Is there anything else u can think of, maybe even something out of the ordinary?

ACCEPTED

The only other thing I can think of is an acquired allergy. Some people develop allergies as they age. Perhaps to wheat, or milk products?

I wish I could help more.

Hopefully someone else will have some more ideas for you.
