Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 >>> bouts of nausea, vomiting, and excruciating stomach pain. We usually go to the ER and they give her zofran or tigan and usually 3 to 4 doses of morphine. Her episodes last about 6 hours and then she will feel crappy for several days after. <<< My daughter used to do the very same thing before we completely changed our diet and started taking Juice Plus. The docs refused to agree with me that it was her liver and even said that she could possibly be experiencing the cyclical thing…this was before they said she had Ulcerative Colitis. But even after they dx her with UC they she still had these bouts and the docs blamed it all on the UC. The only time they believed she could possibly be having a cholangitis attack was once when she was completely flared up with UC and she was running a high fever. Her liver was enlarged at the time and she was in so much pain. They never said for sure but put her on antibiotics and kept her in the hospital for observation. Like I said she continued to have these bouts of pain and nausea until we radically changed what we eat. Basically we don’t eat processed food. No dairy, no chemicals, no preservatives. We try to eat organic and raw as much as possible. Right now she has been doing this thing that concerns me though…her little belly will swell up and looks like it has a balloon underneath the skin… sometimes it is painful and sometimes it is not… it has happened with and without diarrhea…and it comes and goes. It is really strange! Has this happened to anyone on here? She has an appointment with her docs at the end of the month…I am hoping to talk to them about it then.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 It sounds like acites. has had that in the past. Her stomach swells up with fluid. It looks like she swallowed a basketball. After 3 to 5 days she starts peeing A LOT and her stomach goes back to normal. She has not had this happen for several years now. > > > My daughter used to do the very same thing before we completely changed our > diet and started taking Juice Plus. > > The docs refused to agree with me that it was her liver and even said that > she could possibly be experiencing the cyclical thing.this was before they > said she had Ulcerative Colitis.
