I have a 14 yr old girl who is having a hard time. Any time she eats, she feels terrible afterward. She says she feels nausea, and really bad yuck. She has tried eatting with her knees up to see if maybe she wouldn't feel bad afterward, sometimes it helped. We have tried avoiding milk since Sunday, since half the family has milk issues, we thought maybe it could be the problem. I've wondered if it was the beans I was cooking with last week, This morning she had toast with her breakfast and said she felt terrible again so now she is wondering if it is all flour. So today for lunch she has no flour, no milk, just almond, apples, carrots, water and a couple of marshmellows for fun..
Has anyone else had this issue? She is not happy and seems frusterated with being icky. She volunteered to go to the doctor and stopped taking Claritin so that if she needs an allergy test she would be getting ready. I am trying lots of food ways to help but I am at a loss. I need help....

Hannah - one of my friends who has Celiac says the symptoms kind of sound like celiac disease - so that's an allergy to gluten which is in wheat, barely and rye. And wheat/wheat byproducts are in a ton of things you wouldn't suspect - soy sauce, some cheese, etc. She also said that the dairy/gluten allergies are connected in a lot of people...so I'd look into that too. Hope this helps!
If I had an answer or even a suggestion I would share it. Rachael, I hope you feel better and can eat food pain free soon!
There are a lot of things that it might be I don't want to scare you so I'll just say have her go to the doctor and see if they can do an allergy test:( Is she overly stressed? That could also be it if she hasn't had this before, good luck--its too bad that we are all so different because what works for one of us might not work for another, I hope you find a solution:)
wow. I think your male siblings (most males for that matter) will be totally useless when it comes to suggestions for this. Best of luck.
It could be soooo many things ...gall bladder problems, hiatal hernia, reflux, gastritis, and celiac as your friend mentioned toname a few. The only thing really, is to get her to a doctor. We'll keep you in our prayers Rachel.
Sorry this is the first time I've left a comment on your blog! I'm Mandy and I sat next to you at Stacy's wedding last January. You have a beautiful family! In response to your posting here, it could be an ulcer. When I was in college I was pretty stressed out and whenever I ate anything I didn't feel well, turned out to be an ulcer. She could try Pepcid for a week and see if it improves? Just an idea.
