[QUOTE="Steely, post: 506795, member: 3301"] Thank you guys for the clarity. I get so confused day by day with him. I do think the GI is a must, as well. He is not so happy about it at all -- but the Dr also freaked him out. She had that visible look of worry on her face, and that just sky rocketed his fear of dying. Yet, then he gets home - and doesn't eat because anything because it makes him sick. :groooansmileyf: I sent him Schawnns meat dishes yesterday and he about had a cow. How could I do such a thing - he looked like such a loser - blah, blah, blah. WTH. Arrggg. Since I am going the route of this not being psychological I told him that he HAD to eat protein every single day. Period. He can not exist on one bowl of pasta a day. And I seriously am sick of him being sick because he just doesn't eat. So we will see if eating protein helps (or the better point, whether he will listen to his dumb ol Mom). I know protein is harder to digest than pasta - but I think not eating protein is making his blood sugar all caddy wumpus, leading to more nausea, etc. Yes, he was out in that wilderness program - which where he got *really* sick both mentally and physically. All they had for him to eat was peanut butter and beans. Well, he has always been allergic to peanut butter, it makes him sick, and it also makes him severely irritable. They didn't care. He also could have picked up a parasite there. He also has had well water - so the dr tested for that bacteria. Not sure if she tested him for parasites though. Do you think being on all the medications he was on for so many years could have permanently affected his liver? Now he is just on Lamictal - which the Dr thinks could also be causing the stomach issues - but he has been on that for 5 or more years - so I kind of doubt it. Given the genetic factor to auto immune diseases in my family I am leaning to that, plus he has severely messed up his body due to not eating. Throw in anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - and you have the mess he is in. Thanks for letting me bounce ideas off of you. It gets just so muddied when on top of it he says he gained a pound, so he can't eat. But in the same sentence he says "he feels fat because he is bloated". So which comes first, you know. [/QUOTE]
