[quote=Anonymous]My child was in the hospital for OVER a month when she was 10 -- completely unrelated but with stomach issues and no matter how much anti-nausea medicine she was given, she couldn't hold down anything solid AT ALL.  They ran a battery of tests on her, it was the summer, but school was starting and we couldn't figure it out or get a doctor to sign off on a release (we could release but only against doctor's orders).  I cannot even explain how many tests we did.  Finally, as school was starting, we released her against doctor's orders since she could eat jello and a few other things (no vegetables) and hold it down.  We were being provided insanely grim and scary possibilities.  Then, we started just trying a few other foods and she was fine, and finally the doctor okayed us to eat more and more until she was on a normal diet.

That was 5 years ago.  To this day, they cannot tell us what was wrong with her then.

Oh, and I gained A LOT of stress weight during those months -- so much.  And, it was "nothing" according to the doctors.  5 years later, I never lost that weight.

My point is -- try to just stay sane, don't worry about a diagnosis (you may never get one) and just try to get life manageable as much as possible. [/quote]
