Is this medically legal? Obviously giving her a tiktak and a cheeseburger doesn’t sound like a crime, but if something seriously bad happened after that, her condition worsened, and they discovered that the doctor deceptively prescribed her a tiktak and claimed it was a cure.. surely “wanting a quick answer to the ED question” does not justify the ‘prescription’ and possible damages?
@@ahumanaperson Well, their job is to diagnose and treat her. Her potentially lying is getting in the way of them diagnosing her, and the sooner they get a diagnosis the sooner they can start treating her. Her condition would have worsened either way, and she'd have to eat sooner or later regardless. If he gave her the tic-tac and sent her out the door that'd be a different story, but she's still under medical observation. This was done in her best interest so I seriously doubt the doctors could get in trouble fo that. Also no doctor would claim something as a cure. Those don't exist. Treatments do, and even when they're foolproof on paper it's still trial and error, because everyone's body reacts differently.
actually in medical studies when they are testing a new drug out some of the people in the study are given a placebo, but none of the patients know if they are getting the placebo or not
@@ahumanapersonit's... something of a grey area. It certainly isn't looked upon fondly to actually register that you gave a placebo to a patient, but simply giving a placebo as part of a diagnostic procedure isn't illegal so long as the use of said placebo isn't inherently dangerous or reckless. Dr. Charles's approach here was fun for tv, but might be a bit too risky irl. If she is vomiting and the cause isn't known and an eating disorder has not been rules out, making her swallow food could be dangerous. Of course, the issue there wasn't necessarily the tic tac itself as much as the burger that came afterwards, but that's beside the point.
@@ahumanapersonplacebos are only standardized in matters of research, where they ARE used in cases of double blind clinical trials, where a group of patients is given the drug being tested and the other a placebo, and neither the patients nor the doctors know which person is receiving which. Idea being to compare how the progress of a person goes between the drug and the placebo and see not only if there is improvement or adverse effects, but also if what improvements there are justify the cost of using the medicine in question since if it is little better than a placebo then bother spending time and resources with it? Thus the placebo patients are a "control group" to have a frame of reference.
Note that the placebo was used to confirm that she didn't have Anorexia. She actually had a physical condition that was making her sick. Not an Eating Disorder, or ARFID, or Munchausen(how do you spell this) by proxy, aka Factitious disorder imposed on another. * The fat surrounding her stomach that was there to support it reduced causing her stomach to lay in a position that caused an obstruction. She didn't want surgery and was given a feeding tube to ensure she got nutrients. *Some people seem to have poor reading comprehension. Im not speculating, just explaining what the TV SHOW says she has. It's a one-off appearance and was resolved in the episode. Anyone that is going through or has been through an Eating disorder, please know that you are strong and can overcome it. You are beautiful and amazing. I encourage people to read my comments to learn more about different kinds of disorders people can go through. To everyone in my comments, I wish you nothing but the best hope that one day you will get better or achieve stability. * I should've been more worried about mispelling ARFID. I spelled it as Afrid. Woops so sorry.
I had a similar condition to the girl. What I was told was .y gallbladder works way to well. Symptoms were nausea, abdominal pain on my right side after meals, and violently and involuntarily throwing up everything I ate, no matter the amount or what it was. My options were punish a healthy organ for working way to well by removing it, or trying a diet change. So far with the diet change, I've been throwing up less, but still occasionally have the pain and nausea.
Just a quick note; it wouldn't be by proxy. By proxy is if you are doing it on someone else's behalf. If she was making her mom sick or if mom was making her sick. If she was doing it to herself, for attention, it is just considered Munchausen. 😊
@@drunkenmozzie4712 same! I decided to have mine removed though and now I don't throw up constantly but I spent years sick all the time through my teens until they finally realized it was my gallbladder causing the pain/vomiting- super easy surgery, barely any cutting or scars and life has drastically improved
@decafhappiness I would've gone with the surgery but at the time I was offered it, I had just started a new job and I didn't want to immediately have to take off if a change on my diet could've helped. Once I get enough vacation days I might go back and do the surgery.
Ive been having stomach problems for almost a year. Hard to eat, could hardly function, sick to my stomach and felt like i was going to pass out. 8 months of hell. Finally a new doctor that actually believed me and didnt think it was caused by stress, she actually belived me that i wasnt crazy, did some blood work. I have less than half the vitamin D i need and my calcium levels were hanging on by a thread. Low vitamin D and hypocalcemia can cause everything i was feeling. Im on the track to recovery. Such simple little things caused so much damage. Sometimes it is psychiatric and that should always be an option and should be looked into and ruled out, but sometimes it is something physical and to reject that as a possibility will make the patient feel like they are insane and make them feel worse. Yes, it was my fault for being malnurished, but I wasnt crazy. Bless my new doctor for believing me.
So glad she believed you, as do many doctors tend to not believe women and chalk it up to mental conditions, stress, anxiety, depression, etc when it's not.
I know I have never been offered any kind of blood panel to see if I had any nutritional deficiencies and I'm certain that the majority of my problems are related to deficiencies because my diet is embarrassingly crap. I just rarely feel hungry and the thought of eating or preparing food is enough to skip it until I'm so starving I'll just eat whatever is fast and easy - idk if my adhd or what is the root of this issue, but I've always been like that and it's gotten worse with age. I'm not underweight, a little over weight actually.
There was an influencer who was anorexic and bulimic, but every time she tried to eat it caused her physical pain. The doctors had tunnel vision and only saw her anorexia Comet they refused to look at anything else. She died they did an autopsy and found out that indeed she had an intestinal issue which would have been what they said incredibly painful had they not hyper focused on one thing and looked at the whole picture she would probably still be alive. The poor girl tried to eat she tried so hard to eat food, but every time she ate she said it was excruciatingly painful and not one doctor listened to her...
Per my kids pediatrician water can make you sick if you have nausea. We stirred a Coke or 7up (not diet) to get out the fizz and he took small sips to calm his stomach.

@@anitraduke2265 Have you watched the whole episode and know or is that your guess? Because I really want to know if it is as it was also my first guess when I heard the symptoms and it happens a lot that medical professionals think it's an eating disorder when it's that.
She didnt have any ed, or arfid, she had a physical problem, the nerve in her intestinal track and her lower gi was blocked off. She could get the food below a certain point, so her body vomited back up, but her necrotic mom made doctors think it was a ED till she ate the hamburger and saw she didnt have any eating disorders and while not liking her to eat fast food and greeasy food, the mom still let her eat what she wanted or could eat.
I have gastroparesis and the gaslighting pissed me off (it's just a show, it's just a show) but it's still pissing me off seeing all the comments like "her anorexia did this to her 😔"
@jarofbees7259 ..I'm very sorry you went through it, most of the time doctors do the old saying " if it sounds like a horse it's a horse"an never look to see if maybe it's a zebra.
@@jarofbees-andsomewasps I also have gastroparesis. Fortunately for me when I got diagnosed I was at a healthy weight so they couldn't say that to me and most of the time I talked to doctors who actually trusted my judgement which is unfortunately so incredibly rare. But the gaslighting is definitely very real and thriving, the longer I've been ill the more it's gotten to me to the point I'm distrustful especially of new doctors.
I have a special place for these people in my heart. I was NOT anorexic. I didn't have an eating disorder in that sense at all (I probably had psychosomatic nausea from anxiety/stress/ and a fear of vomiting). I was so nauseated all tye time. So nauseated. Water was hard. I got down to 88 lbs. Doctor said if I didn't eat They'd have to tube me. He recommended Boost high protein. Mother bought one of those slushy makers and I managed to eat a quarter, then a half. Over I was still on a liquid diet and things still set me off super often, but I really enjoyed the boost. I progressed to chicken noodle, then noodles with small amounts of butter and cheese, then toast, small sandwiches, and hamburger helper. I LIVED off of ranitidine before and after every meal and gasex superstrength as often as it was prescribed on the regular gassex. Norovirus WRECKED my system and my mental health wasn't good either. Getting on an SSRI also helped. I am now medication free and can eat anything I want! To the detriment of my body(is joke, but I am 220, working on getting all my nutrients back in order and then adding exersize).
I’m having similar problems. I lost so much weight already but they cant find what’s wrong. They scoped me and still don’t know but i’m nauseous before, during, and after food. I throw up stomach acid. Is there any tips you have because I feel helpless 😭
@@amberblyledge7859 Thank you. I’ll talk to my doctor. I was scheduled for the emptying test but they scoped me instead. Never had a CT, just mri/with contrast. Thank you so much!
I was kind of similar. I developed anorexia (Not nervosa the psychological kind.) from really bad anxiety when I was 16 until 18. I was six foot but seven and a half stone. I ended up thankfully turning to exercise and eating weight gainer, protein shakes and pizza and ice cream to gain weight. Thankfully it helped and I ended up the fittest I ever had been. I got on SSRI's at 18 and they too really helped the anxiety and stopped the panic attacks I was having.
Gastroparesis so often gets mistaken for an eating disorder. It turns out it's really hard to eat when your body violently rejects practically everything, like yeah, gastroparesis patients tend to avoid eating. For good reason.
@@suzzanahbessette6989 My dentist is always telling me to stop the soda since the acid in it is like stomach acid. I NEVER drink soda. Like many other things, it makes me sick. Gastric reflux has been dissolving my teeth for years. Add TMJ in and my dental appointments are difficult to face.
I have gastroparesis. I couldn't even drink water without extreme pain. I left the hospital on 8 meds. The dr wanted to remove my stomach, and I refused. The meds caused Parkinson's, so I stopped all meds and researched it myself. It is under control with some occasional flare-ups. I have a hard time trusting docs to do the simplest most commonsense approach. Liquid diet in the am, small meals, chew well, eat slowly, walk daily. Everyone is different. I hope anyone suffering finds relief and a full life!
@lindatyner3349 I have gastroparesis. I was 240lbs, now I am 125lbs. Medical Dr's claim it's due to diabetes. In 2019, I had my gallbladder removed. It leaked from not being closed properly and as it leaked, it pushed my stomach up while bending it in half. I am pretty sure that amount of damage in 29 days most likely the vegas (sp) nerve. My heart breaks for anyone dealing with this awful disease. This video is so me.
Is your gastroparesis debilitating? My Dr had me stop working in 2019 because it was so out of control... still is. Do you always have warning prior to vomiting? I don't. If I leave my house, I have to have an emesis bag with me.
Also you can develop Gastritis, which is a condition in a lot of people with EDs where your body can become trained to get sick once anything hits your stomach
Didnt know people with Anorexia could get that too. I got it its a Inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Its Like a stinning unbearable pain everytime you eat something and you Need to get onto a diet of very blamd Food to get rid of it atleast a little Bit. No citrous fruits No grease, no Alkohol, No sault, No chillie, No bread. It can come from too much Stress also wich was the start of Mine. Most never get rid of it also.
I used to put them in my mouth, pop my head back, then chew them because I didn’t realize that people were swallowing pills when they popped their heads back 😂
People with chronic illnesses of all varieties will forever have my sympathy. I've had a variety of illnesses and health issues, but those go away. I can't imagine any of those symptoms, pain, nausea, exhaustion, dizziness, becoming a part of my life for years.
it was a long process, but after suffering for a few years I found out what I was dealing with and found medication and routines to help with it. Laxatives have unironically saved my life lmao it gets easier if you stick with it. and it becomes our normal. even though it can be really hard to go through 🥲
Chronically ill individual here. Life with these many symptoms is a nightmare. Can successfully eat something 1 day, but the next.... Horribly ill. One day you have all the clarity and energy in the world, 2 hours later, a day later - can't move from bed/the couch in horrible pain. It sucks!
it gets really overwhelming when you understand its forever. I've been sick my whole life. I'm severely disabled at 25. and I'm not sure if dying young to my condition or a long miserable life probably half spent in the hospital is worse. the last day I had a pain free day I was probably 10 years old. it's hard to get up and face it every day!
@@livewellwitheds6885 i think about this a lot. im also disabled, just turned 18, and i feel like my life is over before it even started. i had so many plans for my future, to go to college, to live in my own house, but i can barely get out of bed. its amazing that i have a good support system and a care team that knows my body, but i cant bear to think of all the people who don't, who get misdiagnosed with psychiatric disorders when it's a chronic illness. i have a friend who is also disabled and they tried to make her stay in an eating disorder ward when she didn't have one. i see so many people my age that are able to do multiple activities a day, go on vacations, not feel absolutely terrible after going on an airplane or in a car, i really envy them. i mourn the life i could've had.
I actually deal with this myself sometimes, the issue for the patient is she hasn’t eaten in so long, any and all food actually does become incredibly difficult to eat no matter how hungry you are. Once you reach the “point of no return” you’re sick all the time, even when you eat you are sick and could throw it up. Anorexia is scary to deal with, and I also am autistic and have ARFID. This is a SLOW recovery process, you have to teach your stomach to allow more and more food each time, and getting that food down is literal hell on earth. I had to shake my arms and legs as I ate to combat the nausea, I had to get up with my arms up in the air to get more air to my stomach to settle it. Anorexia, no matter what reason you have it is a mental game more than anything. Anorexia also can make you developed a fear of food which is likely what this patient was suffering from as well since all food made her sick, she needed to be told there was a magic pill that would get rid of that for her so she was able to use the placebo effect to think she could eat safely. ❤ I hope anyone who is suffering from this gets the help they need, and take it one day at a time. Recovery is possible. Rely on protein shakes too, those things have literally saved my life and helped my stomach allow more food intake.
I went through the same thing got out of an ed facility about 3 months ago I feel a lot better now and have good weight on me also adhd neurodivergent insomniac ever wanna talk I’m here it’s hard to find people who go though the same things sometimes
I did the nausea thing when I was pregnant, and I can attest that the longer I'd wait to see if the nausea would settle, the harder it would be to actually eat without pain. My best option was to eat a bit every few hours between meals. I'm so sorry for everyone who has an eating disorder. Thanks for sharing your experiences and broadening my understanding ❤
i’m also autistic with arvid!! i had anorexia at 13 and am still dealing with it at 22. i’ve gotten much better but i still haven’t gotten my body to reverse how it feels hunger. i don’t get a normal hungry feeling anymore, i just feel empty and nauseous. and yes i eat very regularly. doesn’t matter. i have to eat very slowly if i get too hungry because otherwise i’ll feel like i’ll throw it up. all food becomes disgusting if i’ve gone to long without eating (literally could be just 6 hours but i’ll differently feel DISGUSTING at the thought of eating). i only have textural/flavor avoidances thankfully so it’s not as hard to find safe foods. but yeah, it’s no where near easy. i’m just thankful the last few years i’ve had amazing supports who helped me ❤️ i’ve even gained 30 pounds in the last two years. i’m learning to love this new body and it’s hard but i know i can do it
Yo i think i need to go get seen. Than you for this comment. Im not emaciated, I just force myself to eat to not die. I knew this was not normal. Thank you oh my god. Even the way you described settling yourself.
I had a wheat intolerance that was undiagnosed. I was starving to death slowly and was in a ton of pain. A speciakist thought it was anorexia and if my parents believed him I would've died
How is it that so many doctors are willing to risk their patients’ lives like this? I don’t know if it’s laziness or stubbornness or pride or _what_ but it’s terrifying how many people have had their lives endangered like this. Thank God your parents took their responsibilities seriously in that situation bc the doctor obviously didn’t 😑
i have celiac and i am so lucky that i was young enough that it wasn't really considered, i was 5. The day before i was diagnosed i had my last gluten meal and im so lucky i didn't feel sick afterwards or that memory would be bad too
Same! I dealt with pain 7-8 years and it gotten to point where I would only eat 1 small meal at supper time to sleep throw the pain, turns out gluten was the cause of it all and more😭. When it first started I gotten told the issue was the way I was taking my iron pills💀 bro didn’t even do blood test💀
@@meiamymeiI honestly have no idea💀 one of my old doctor told me my pain was caused by the way I was taking my iron pill, he didn’t even do a blood test. Turn out it was celiac💀
My son is like this and is having a Colonoscopy and Endoscopy this week finally! He does have anxiety and it’s right to look at the Psychological side of things but also the Physiological. Thanks to everyone who have shared about their issues.
this episode made me cry ngl. i went through something similar and it was awful. i couldn’t eat or drink anything without experiencing horrible pain and nausea. my doctors told me to “just eat” and that my pain was all in my head. i was convinced that i was crazy and would make myself even more sick trying to eat. i was severely malnourished and dehydrated and i worried that i would die. i spent countless nights in the ER in excruciating pain unable to keep anything down. i lost 25 pounds before i was finally diagnosed with MALS. i had surgery and my symptoms have mostly resolved. i wish doctors would believe patients and we wouldn’t have to suffer like this.
I have MALS, which surgeon did you go to? I've been seeing one in Connecticut but its a 5-6 hour drive each direction so it's difficult. Plus I have gastroparesis as well and I have feeding tubes. I'm really glad to hear your symptoms mostly resolved with surgery!!! Thats what I hope happens for me 😊
To me it sounds like gastroparesis. Especially with the whole eating disorder thing because that unfortunately happens to a lot of patients before they're believed and actually get help. Some actually starve and lose a lot of weight before they get help so I hope doctors get better about diagnosing it and in general ruling out physical diagnoses.
sounds exactly like gastroparesis. i have it and you get treated like you have an ED. ive found good drs now who treat me the way it should be treated. im actually really glad that one person in the comments section knows about the condition because a lot of people either dont know or pass it off as an ED.
My goodness yall are the only folks outside of doctors that know about it. My mom has gastroparesis. I'm tell yall itcan get brutal sometimes. We never know when an attack will happen. I would love some tips on how either one of yall deal with it.
I have it and when it flares up worse than normal I can't even keep water down. I've been forced into 2 different ED facilities before they believed it was a physical issue
i would agree if she didn’t throw up immediately! the symptoms of gastroparesis are usually a few hours after you eat (when your stomach is emptying into your bowels, or as your bowels are trying to move things along). source: i have it lmfao
As someone with gastritis- this is my life. And it caused an eating disorder and “refeeding syndrome.” It’s not fun, it’s not is purposely starving ourselves. We want to eat desperately but we can’t and it hurts.
I have an ulcer. For 15 years, all the Dr's put on their Harry Potter robes and say, "Take this, it will cure you." Well, I feel your pain throwing up everyday is awful looking at food thinking will this make me sick ?
@@gwynethcook5663 I’m sorry you’re going through it. My luck and blessing or even by the grace of Dumbledore is that my bestfriend has scientists and doctors for parents. They have been keeping me alive for years now. EVERYTHING hurts. Bread, Rice, Most Milks, I can’t have almonds due to being anemic and almonds eat my iron. Dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, tomatos, lettuce. That’s just what HURTS to eat. Allergies are different and also limit food choices. You will have to navigate by yourself because doctors will Blanket Statement you to your grave. If I listened to them I would be dead. Right now my bones have the health of a neglected malnourished 75 year old and my insurance is fighting me. It sucks. We know our bodies best. There are a few tips I picked up based on diet and what feels good/safe. ❤️❤️❤️
My husband always asks me if I’ve eaten. I tell him “ why would I? It hurts to eat and to not eat. At least with not eating I don’t throw up.” No one understands.
I used to get gastritis a lot for years. I always had stomach trouble. I stopped eating gluten to try to be healthy and curiously all of my stomach issues went away.
I hve gastritis now at 24! I used to starve myself when I was 17 (disordered eating but never got diag with ED and stuff probably because I'm overweight which could possibly also be hypothyroid.. idk its just a lot) and yea.. thankfully I'm now at a point where I can eat and not vomit out.. so I can eat before I get those insane pains.. I take antacids when I rly need to and that helps.. I still wake up in the morning with a bit of vomit in my throat sometimes but it's so much better than not being able to eat or else I throw up and all that... I hope everyone here recovers/ gets into a spot where eating is viable again! For me I just ate a few spoons at a time, and rice has definitely helped me out more as a source of carbs than bread (I am asian though so I eat rice anyways).. I may never fully understand you guys' struggles but I hear you and pray for you!
I remember watching this episode for the first time. I had an eating condition very similar to that, I liked to eat, never was much of a binge eater, but whenever I did eat I got anxious and vomited. It made me lose a lot of weight and, of course, whenever I got to the doctor they would say that it was "anorexia nervosa" and dismiss any other explanation. Well, it turns out, the perfomance to eat well and fast is what caused me to develop this food anxiety. It wasn't the same as her case, but our symptoms were still very similar (the sitting position with my arms around my legs worked for me too!). I only managed to work that out in the covid pandemic, when I didn't have to worry about "perfoming" to other people. I remember getting so angry at the female doctor for dismissing other diagnosis because that's something I was sooo familiar with, going to the doctors. But well, at least I've been going strong for 4 years now!
Sick kid here. And no, it’s not, though stressed moms do cause problems - one you have exemplified very nicely. When a (justifiably) worried mom acts stressed/overly protective/emotional during a doctor’s visit, a young patient’s symptoms are more likely to be perceived as stress-induced, drama-related and thus psychological. Realistically though, there is still a very very good possibility that the patient’s symptoms have a physiological cause - which in turn elicits highly emotional reactions from stressed and concerned parents. We need education on both sides here. Medical professionals should be more understanding of how mentally taxing a physical disease is for patients and their loved ones and not let their prejudice on emotional behavior impair their judgement. Parents, on the other hand, need to check in with themselves and the medical team on how to best help their child and seek psychological guidance for how to process their emotions instead of dumping it all over the already sick child. Not too long ago, the girl in the video was me, slowly starving due to an inability to eat (due to a physical cause; we found out two years ago). Being a young female with this type of parent (however well they may intend it) in the healthcare system is so tough. I don’t know much about being a parent of a sick kid from experience and hope I never will, but I bet it’s really hard too. So give them all some grace, for I think of them daily and they need it so❤
Our daughter was diagnosed with an eating disorder after returning to her pediatrician several times regarding nausea and vomiting. We went to a psychiatrist and a therapist for months and things got worse. She then began having double vision in her periphery and we took her in again. Finally, they did an MRI. That day she was on a life flight to children’s hospital in Salt Lake due to two large brain tumors on and near her pituitary. She survived but was in Salt Lake children’s hospital followed by Seattle children’s for the better part of almost three years. She then had non malignant tumors discovered in her twenties, due to the extreme amount of radiation she had when she was 13 and 14. She has a litany of lifelong health issues due to the brain cancer and the treatments including diabetes insipidous, thyroid issues, endocrine issues, etc. She stopped growing even though she had daily growth hormone injections (she is 4’8” and looks prepubescent). I wish we had followed our instincts and demanded further testing when we were repeatedly told it was an eating disorder.
Parents always blame themselves...but we are brought into society being TOLD we must do exactly what Doctors say, at all times, Doctor knows best, knows all. That's not the case and they are human on top of that and make mistakes. You are not to blame, your love is evident and you have done everything in your power and knowledge at the time for your child. You have no onus at all...I know the words of a stranger mean nothing, particularly on the internet, but you are not at fault.
God bless her! And God bless you, too! That sounds worse than being the starring character in a real-life horror movie! As rough as it is for her, as her mom, it must be torture having no idea, for so many years, what's wrong. My condolences for what you and your family have been through!
It is called mal practice. For years I went to an endocrinologist every 3 months complaining about this or that new symptom. Instead of researching anything, they gave me a psych evaluation instead. I figured my issue out with Dr. Web. Got an operation and have been much better ever since. Bastard lazy doctors!
Nausea sucks. I'm an RN, most people are not aware that it's common to need more than one antinausea medication to get relief. A lot of chemo patients have to take four.
My I know common is it for people with depression and anxiety? I had a severe reaction to food when I was at my peak of anxiety. Spent months not being able to eat without gagging after 2 spoonfuls of food. Sometimes I couldn't even enter a restaurant without gagging. I can eat now, but still gag over anything. I wonder if that was an option for me at that time.
Too bad so many are also atypical antipsychotics that cause me to have Tardive Dyskenisia. I cant take phenergan or reglan or compazine... all end in me uncontrollably biting my tongue and having facial/jaw spasms. Only zofran works for me, and not always
I’m pregnant and it has been hell having to go through this same thing but I’ve found comfort in knowing that once I give birth it will all be over I couldn’t imagine it being permanent like this girl💔
Be careful and eat slow...I had 6 kids with my first 4(girls) I stayed sick the entire time...my stomach shrank...eat little meals but as many as you can...healthy snack your socks off!
My grandma was a hypochondriac and was always in the doctors office because she was sure she had this or that and oh she was sure she had various types of cancer all the time well she lived to 96 and died healthy as could be in her sleep like I hope I get to. But my grandpa said back in the day there were times that she'd be so persistent that the doc would write a script and the pharmacy was like next door but he'd give her the script and call the pharmacy have him make the label up but put baby aspirin or a sugar pills and after a few days she'd say she felt better, grandpa joked you could've wiped the M's off of m&m and told her it was medicine and she'd believe you. Love the woman but damn it was crazy. I could only imagine what she'd say she had now with web-md and the internet in general
I'm somewhat similar to your grandma and I genuinely hate living like this, it makes life harder to enjoy. I'm always scared or worried that something is wrong, constantly body checking and never feeling like I am 100% okay. It's scary, exhausting and upsetting. I can confidently say that searching is the worst. I try not to do it but sometimes I just need an explanation. I really don't have the finances to keep going to the doctor and I feel bad for taking spots away from people who likely need it more than me. The truth is that I am unwell but I am okay physically, it's my brain that's unwell - that's what causes all that worry. The internet can truly make me spiral, so I try to have restrictions on words etc I am trying to get better through medication and therapy but it's definitely something I'd never wish on anyone. Hope you and your family are well and sorry for the yapping! Haha
Being a hypochondriac is an illness in itself. I feel for you, I was labeled a hypochondriac for years. The difference is is that I actually am sick. It just took them years to figure it out. One was when I was 30 when I was diagnosed and the second one, which has been the most debilitating, they have just diagnosed and I'm 55. It takes over your entire life especially the fear in believing that you are I'll. Good luck in overcoming your illness Of hypochondria. 😊
A lot of elderly people from her generation or people who have survived a life threatening illness or taken care of someone who succumbed to a severe illness can develop hypochondria. The term is an archaic medical term. It’s referred as Health Anxiety now. I wouldn’t be surprised if it would start to be treated as PTSD for some people. Being severely ill and/or losing a loved one to a sudden or chronic disease can really mess with your mental health. I met a woman who was diagnosed with hypochondria when she was older because her mother was a batshit abusive Munchausen by proxy nut. She was one of the few people who survived their mother’s by proxy diagnosis.
@@rantinggrannyb7408 you're so kind, thank you. I hope you're feeling and doing well ❤️🩹 remember you're brave and incredibly strong, I wish you the best ❤️
I went through something similar when I was extremely anxious over a period of time in my childhood. Everything I ate i felt I couldn’t physically swallow and would make me want to throw up. It was awful but luckily my anxiety doesn’t do that to me anymore.
I understand how tough this is. I am 15, 5 ft 4 inches tall, and weigh only 95 pounds. It's horrible. If I eat anything, I feel nauseous so I limit my eating as much as possible. As a result, I have little energy most of the time. I also struggle with my image and often find myself glued to my bathroom mirror looking at myself and thinking to myself how if my waist isn't as small as someone with 20 plastic surgeries, I'm" fat" and need to stop eating so much. It's very hard and not many can understand this. My parents just laugh and find it silly that I should feel this way which is disheartening because they think I want to be this way; I just don't know how to fix it. It's a real problem that should be addressed as a real concern and not just a joke.❤
I am sorry you are going thru your own ordeal. Talk to your primary physician or school Nurse to help advocate for you. Plz talk to someone. You are worth it!
Please ask for help from someone you trust. The nausea could be from a physical cause. Get some bloodwork done at least. Missing out on important nutrients can throw off your hormones, your brain chemicals and cause other physical problems too. This could be causing an exaggeration to your symptoms and how you feel about yourself all at the same time. It’s hard work to be healthy but it’s even harder to do it the sicker you get. You are your best advocate! Love to you ❤
This is child neglect which is a form of abuse. I'm sure your parents don't understand that this is what they are doing but it needs to stop. Find an adult you can trust to help you or you may have life long health problems. It sucks bad that this has to be on you and it's not your fault. May peace and happiness come to you❤
My son went thru this nightmare condition in 7th grade. It was so hard to watch him go through and no one knew what was happening. We saw SOOOO many doctors until finally we found someone who knew just by listening to my entire story (confirmed later thru testing). It resolved after nearly two years. By that time, he’d lost 25% of his body weight. Thank God he’s better today and doing great! Hold on Moms and Dads. You’ll get through this.
People in the comments are assuming this is was an ED case but it wasn’t (in the full episode) she actually has a real GI issue that caused her to get sick after eating. Drs. assumed it was an ED at first because that’s what they are used to seeing but she ended up having a rare GI issue that caused her symptoms
the mum is probably the one who made her like this forcing her to go this weird diet thing and bcz she didnt want to eat it bcz it was gross her body is now cautious of everything she eats so throws it back up
No. This isn’t psychosomatic, it’s a purely physical issue. While her mother was absolutely not helping, she was trying to. An excess of saturated fats can cause similar problems to what this girl was experiencing. The mom was right to question the diet first, because teens with hefty GI issues is uncommon.
@@caitlyncole9150seconded. She wasn't talking about "grease" as a fear of her daughter becoming fat, but her body rejecting heavy/fried foods. When I was in GLP-1 inhibitors, anything fried or greasy would make me very ill. 😢
What weird diet thing?? If my kid is sick and no doctor can figure out what’s the issue. I’m taking matters into my own hands. All junk food gets thrown out. My entire family would go raw vegan until I can figure out what’s making my child sick. Her mother loved her and was trying to help. Do you know how many bad chemicals are in our food that make us sick and cause cancers?
WHOA THIS IS WHAT I HAD. It's called SMA (Superior Mesenteric Artery) syndrome. It's caused when you lose the fat pad surrounding the lower portion of your stomach and the artery resting on top starts to press into your stomach and block digestion. I slowly became unable to eat more than a few bites of anything without extreme nausea and pain. Just before I was hospitalized the most I could hope to eat in a day would be a yogurt, a few saltines, and a couple bites of a measly sandwich, but I had a feeding tube for a while and it is resolved now. I'd never heard of it before being diagnosed but it's cool to see it in a TV show.
Actually, that's not it. If I remember correctly, this girl has some rare GI condition where food gets stuck and since it can't go all the way down it comes back up. The doctor was ruling out intentional disorded eating.
If only primary care physicians actually looked into things like this the way docs on ER shows look into their non-emergent patients. In real life, this patient would have been given fluids IF needed and sent home and told to follow up with their PCP. They don’t run a bunch of tests in the ER to figure out why you’ve felt crappy lately. If you’re walking, talking and breathing then you’re sent home lol b
i had a similar issue with horrendous nausea and delayed gastric emptying. i lost a lot of weight and the doctors thought i was purposely making myself vomit. i wasn't, i just seriously had a very hard time keeping food down because my stomach wasn't emptying at a normal rate! thankfully im on medication for nausea and for my motility and i can eat almost anything i want to (within reason lol)
Gastroparesis is very similar to this. 'Healthy' food options are generally actually worse for us. (Fiber is our kryptonite.) If you're dealing with something like this, please see a Gastroenterologist and request a Gastric Emptying Study. For my fellow GP warriors, keep fighting! ❤
"Wise in this process.:" As a black woman, I cannot TELL you, how many times, I've gone to emergency, with high blood pressure, extreme pain in abdomen, and told I would be given something to deal with the pain and bring my pressure down, only to SIT THERE and watch my pressure RISE on the monitor, and my head feel like it's about to explode. I'm ultimately admitted, because when they had opportunity to give me the REAL medication, they gave me some placebo, because of COURSE, I only came there to "get drugs." Age, occupation, religion, work status doesn't matter. When you're a woman, and you're black, this is what you put up with. (Btw, I have Aortic dissection type B, Congestive Heart Failure, Edema and so on.) So, yeah.
This reminds me of what i had in high school. Apparently i had severe acid reflux and gerd, some days i could eat fine. Others i couldnt eat anything at all without horrible pain, not even water. Sometimes the pain would come on even if i hadnt eaten anything. I wanted to eat i just couldn't. Only puking could make me feel better, at the time i was underwight and exhausted half the time. Thankfully Beano, Keifer and stress management helped it go away, but it was hell for the longest time, felt like my body was punsihing me for literally trying to keep myself alive because i needed to eat and drink water.
When i had appendicitis, most symptoms talk about nausea, fevers, and specific pain. All i felt was better if i ate something and in pain all over most of the time. My family had a history of Crohns disease and severe obesity, and i was so dang scared this was some eating disorder. I just felt better when eating and eventually went to urgent care after the pain stayed for over a week. I can definitely see where you know there's something wrong, but you also feel on the border of some eating disorder because of how people see you.
The mind is a powerful force in our physical health. My anxiety has done a number on everything from my head to my stomach to even my legs. That is why it is important to test whether an ailment is psychological or physical in nature.
Daughter went through this. Autoimmune condition called Eosinophilic esophagitos. Took almost losing her to starvation, and refusing to leave the children's hospital until she was seen by the GI doctor.
i’m 21 and have had this my entire life!! been through a lot of endoscopies and surgeries and feeding tubes. doing the best i’ve ever been. i wish the best for you and your daughter!! she’s got this
Whats crazy is that I also have gastroparesis and when I was on Prednisone years and years ago, I COULD eat anything without repercussions!!! At that point, I wasnt able to eat solids AT ALL. Once I got off the script, my GP came back but was totally manageable. It was like a miracle drug.
The damage stomach acid causes from these types of issues, is the most frustrating part imo. My stomach does this with most food. Mainly solid. Soft solids are fine sometimes. I have so much damage from all the puking that it also now hurts to eat most foods. Bread is gentle, and the only thing I can keep down sometimes. Sometimes, even bread just won't stay down. I have to sit my cold drinks out for a bit before I can drink it, or it feels like putting freezing water over a burn. It hurts too much to consume cold or hot food. It's not every time I eat. Just most of the time. It hit me really hard while I was still healing from spine surgery, so that was fun lol.
As someone who used to struggle with anorexia, I think the placebo was just to see if she'd be willing to eat. A few times I was prescribed nausea medicine or something else because of my claims, and then when I would be given medicine to correct it, I would still find another issue that would "prevent me" from eating. Either that or I would just make it look like I was eating.
Pray over your body and plead the blood of Jesus over it. Rebuke the spirit of stress and anxiety. The Bible tells us we do not war against flesh and blood but against the principalities of darkness in the dark and crazy world. It is beautiful to live at peace when you were once living a life full of torment and fear, stress and anxiety. I will forever Praise our Lord for setting me free and truly being my redeemer!!!🙌🏼😭❤️🙌🏼😇 praying for you!
I was in emergency one night 2 years ago. I was in a very bad mental state and my parents were concerned because I said I didn’t want to be around. It was passive ideation but they were scared so dragged me there. For around a month up to that I had been struggling to eat. Everytime I ate I couldn’t keep it down. I was so constantly anxious and was having daily intense panic attacks. I PHYSICALLY could not keep anything down. The head adolescent psychiatrist took one look at me and told me to stop being silly and just eat. That refusing to eat wouldn’t solve anything. He wouldn’t listen to mine or my mother’s explanation. He was adamant that I was just some dumb teen with an ED. I’m glad that in this at least someone is taking her seriously
There are so many conditions that can make you vomit that aren't ED related. I have cyclic vomiting syndrome and before we figured it out... at one point I was vomiting so much for months on end that I was blacking out. They kept giving me oral nausea meds but I would throw it up before it had any chance to do anything and because I was over weight they kept accusing me of being bulimic. Why would I be going to the Dr constantly to give me med to make the vomiting stop if I was? Thankfully now I have proper nausea patches and we've been eliminating triggers that can be removed.
My baby had this for years till she was old enough to pick her own food I kept food diaries her dad was personal trainer it was o no y a professor in alder hey realize it was a cycle and gave her anti sickness meds
I struggled for 2 years, not being able to eat anything without being sick. I was nauseous 24/7. Doctors did nothing for it. I had to fix my problems on my own. Unfortunately, it left me with some damage.
When I was in my 20's, a friend had stomach pain, possibly due to stress. I had recently gained a couple of pounds. She suggested yogurt. We went Dutch for payment. I'd go to get the yogurt and bring it back for lunch. We did this for several weeks with some success.
Same, I'm under weight because all the chemo made me nauseous and no nausea medicine would help and I didn't want to eat when I got nauseous so that made me loose weight fast
My friend had a condition called achalasia which caused this. Basically the muscles in her esophagus that open/close to let stuff into the stomach stopped working. So her body would throw it up since it would just get stuck in her esophagus. She lost so much weight, and she was already a skinny girl. She almost died. Thankfully they were able to preform a surgery to fix the muscles.
@Riivorn it is actually the brain not getting the signal to make the lower esophageal sphincter open because the esophagus has low or no motility. During the surgery they cut that muscle where it is open all the time. Achalasia has no cure & is supposedly rare. In my opinion it is under diagnosed or misdiagnosed as other things & isn't near as rare as they want us to believe. There are not enough of us for the pharmaceutical companies or doctors for it to be profitable for them to find us a cure. I'm one of the lucky ones to have been diagnosed rather quickly. Most spend 5 to 20 years begging for a diagnosis.
I know it is a tv show but I have had this issue since starting pre-menopause. Could be hormonal. I have pills for it. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. The other part is that 99% of the time, nothing sounds edible either.
I had it for 3 years in perimenopause it was the worst. I would dry heaves for a week before my period and sometimes after it would come back for weeks. It ruined trips, my everyday life. It was like morning sickness then at night I felt better. It finally stopped last year. I had a uterine polyp removed and it finally stopped throwing up. Good luck it’s really one of the lesser known perimenopause symptoms and doctors thought I was crazy. I took zofran for it but that made me dizzy. I still don’t know for sure if it was the polyp but a hormone specialist told me it could have caused inflammation. Idk 🤷🏻♀️ good luck because the sickness is the worst.
Totally unrelated but I have no desire to eat or drink anything when I get sick. Even when I am hungry and want to eat something I just can’t. I have random days where I’m not hungry and could go weeks without eating.
youre not alone, i could be eating what ive always loved and will all the sudden feel sick and my mouth does not want to chew, i will gag if i swallow it so i just give up. My weight fluctuates so much. I found (if you can) eating squirrel food helps. I keep bags of trail mix on me or liquid foods like applesauce, fruit pops ( not amzing but you can get some vitamins and hydrate while not feeling sick)
I've been there, but after my recovery from Ednos. After so many years of starving and purging, my stomach couldn't handle a lot of foods and I would get sick on my own. Two years of recovery and I love food, but it's so hard to eat. I either get full too fast or get nauseous
As a odansetron/zofran girlie i feel this comepletely i use to get sick just from feeling a little hungry, or thinking about eating something. And now I can actually get food down without it being such a struggle. I was never underweight (the typical anorexia look) but I definitely have had the same issues with eating it absolutely sucks! Getting so hungry that you feel sick from the hunger and sick at the thought of eating is the worst.
I eat but it never stays in. Other end, not vomit unless I eat when I’m not hungry. This started approximately a year after getting my gallbladder out. I went from 115lbs to 85lbs in 6 mos. I’m 5ft4in, 53f. Not a single doctor will actually help me but they always say ‘you’re dangerously underweight!’! That’s why I’m sitting in front of you, git! I’ve started taking anti-diarrhoea pills to keep what I eat and drink in, sometimes it actually works. I’m scheduled with another specialist next week, it took 6 months to get this appointment. I’d rather see my dog’s vet than an MD or DO. I’m steady at 85 now, got as low as 79lbs. Utter madness. I love food!
in middle school/part of high school had a "tick" that made me throw up every time i ate. itd get to a certain point in my stomach, & id spit it back up instantly. even if i tried to hold it down, it just made me feel worse. i used to have a "spit cup" or bag or bucket with me all the time because i couldnt eat without throwing up. it turned into an ED when it got to the point where i refused to eat in public because it was embarassing & would binge when i got home, just for my body to reject it all. rumination is what i was diagnosed with, but turns out part of it was most likely caused by lyme disease as well, which i had all along. i still gag sometimes randomly to the point it hurts & i still dont know why i get so violently nauseous dispite all the medical professionals ive seen...
no she isn't... it's not an eating disorder. she was trying to alleviate the symptoms via dietary restrictions as hamburgers and fast food are indeed inflammatory for a lot of people with stomach issues
I had the same problem in the past. Everyone thought that I had anorexia and would always try to make me eat the food when I couldn’t even finish it before starting to throw up. I even got into a big argument with my mom about that. BUT I like the food , I love eating and I wasn’t even trying to loose weight. I tried to do everything to gain several kgs back ,but it didn’t work out. So ,I went to the gastroenterologist and they found out the problem. And it was not anorexia . The way my family and friends shut up after that and actually started to listen to me . I was able to gain the weight back and solve the problem with some procedures and medications. But now I have chronic gastritis and very sensitive stomach . So, I still need to look out what food I am eating. 😅
Debilitating is an understatement at best. This is HELL on earth (I'm approaching gastric bypass as an 80# 49 y/o woman 10yrs of tpn) I hate there's not more of us cuz that translates in to seeming like I want others to suffer and I don't. I want more people or, better yet, more doctors south of Minnesota that understand idiopathic gastrophresis, short gut, and damage to the c Ad 91vagus nerve. " I love food, I just can't eat it" this is my version of "I have a DE not a ED" and I could soooooo get on my "soap box" but I will spare y'all to say 🎉kuddos to psych here❤ (I guess if u know, you know) and yes I'm aware this is a fictional TV show buuut rather than the actor I'd love to chat with this script writer
i so felt this,i done did test after test after test,tried plenty of meds,and i can only eat so many bites before i get full or sick and then if i make a meal and make me plate,it takes me all day....my kids be like you only eat 3 bites and it last you all day...on top of being a diabetic i have to eat with my meds and it be hard my sugars end up dropping so low,i just vomit alot of stomach acid...i end up just drinking a smoothie and lots of nausea meds and acid reflux meds...it be so hard to lose weight,i hate it here
🙄 The tic tac was used for the placebo effect. The patient takes the tic tac thinking that it's medicine going to help. If it does then they know that the problem is mental. But if it doesn't then the problem is physical.
I actually had this issue! It’s called MALS!! I had it fixed through a surgery where they took out my celiac ganglia and trimmed back my diaphragm. I hadn’t been able to eat any solid foods for over a year because of it.

@@lleexxii exactly 💯
@@gemmalocatelli5916how did she almost die from the tic tac? It’s the possible aspiration pneumonia or airway blockage that would kill her.
Problems might be related to a Mommy Situation. In other words, mommy is too controlling about what"she" thinks and wants daughter to eat.
Also, placebo is a perfect way to find out information the patient might not be conscious of.
Is this medically legal?
Obviously giving her a tiktak and a cheeseburger doesn’t sound like a crime, but if something seriously bad happened after that, her condition worsened, and they discovered that the doctor deceptively prescribed her a tiktak and claimed it was a cure..
surely “wanting a quick answer to the ED question” does not justify the ‘prescription’ and possible damages?
@@ahumanaperson Well, their job is to diagnose and treat her. Her potentially lying is getting in the way of them diagnosing her, and the sooner they get a diagnosis the sooner they can start treating her. Her condition would have worsened either way, and she'd have to eat sooner or later regardless.
If he gave her the tic-tac and sent her out the door that'd be a different story, but she's still under medical observation.
This was done in her best interest so I seriously doubt the doctors could get in trouble fo that.
Also no doctor would claim something as a cure. Those don't exist. Treatments do, and even when they're foolproof on paper it's still trial and error, because everyone's body reacts differently.
actually in medical studies when they are testing a new drug out some of the people in the study are given a placebo, but none of the patients know if they are getting the placebo or not
@@ahumanapersonit's... something of a grey area. It certainly isn't looked upon fondly to actually register that you gave a placebo to a patient, but simply giving a placebo as part of a diagnostic procedure isn't illegal so long as the use of said placebo isn't inherently dangerous or reckless.
Dr. Charles's approach here was fun for tv, but might be a bit too risky irl. If she is vomiting and the cause isn't known and an eating disorder has not been rules out, making her swallow food could be dangerous. Of course, the issue there wasn't necessarily the tic tac itself as much as the burger that came afterwards, but that's beside the point.
@@ahumanapersonplacebos are only standardized in matters of research, where they ARE used in cases of double blind clinical trials, where a group of patients is given the drug being tested and the other a placebo, and neither the patients nor the doctors know which person is receiving which.
Idea being to compare how the progress of a person goes between the drug and the placebo and see not only if there is improvement or adverse effects, but also if what improvements there are justify the cost of using the medicine in question since if it is little better than a placebo then bother spending time and resources with it?
Thus the placebo patients are a "control group" to have a frame of reference.
Note that the placebo was used to confirm that she didn't have Anorexia. She actually had a physical condition that was making her sick. Not an Eating Disorder, or ARFID, or Munchausen(how do you spell this) by proxy, aka Factitious disorder imposed on another.
* The fat surrounding her stomach that was there to support it reduced causing her stomach to lay in a position that caused an obstruction. She didn't want surgery and was given a feeding tube to ensure she got nutrients.
*Some people seem to have poor reading comprehension. Im not speculating, just explaining what the TV SHOW says she has. It's a one-off appearance and was resolved in the episode.
Anyone that is going through or has been through an Eating disorder, please know that you are strong and can overcome it. You are beautiful and amazing.
I encourage people to read my comments to learn more about different kinds of disorders people can go through. To everyone in my comments, I wish you nothing but the best hope that one day you will get better or achieve stability.
* I should've been more worried about mispelling ARFID. I spelled it as Afrid. Woops so sorry.
You spelt it right
I had a similar condition to the girl. What I was told was .y gallbladder works way to well. Symptoms were nausea, abdominal pain on my right side after meals, and violently and involuntarily throwing up everything I ate, no matter the amount or what it was. My options were punish a healthy organ for working way to well by removing it, or trying a diet change. So far with the diet change, I've been throwing up less, but still occasionally have the pain and nausea.
Just a quick note; it wouldn't be by proxy. By proxy is if you are doing it on someone else's behalf. If she was making her mom sick or if mom was making her sick. If she was doing it to herself, for attention, it is just considered Munchausen. 😊
@@drunkenmozzie4712 same! I decided to have mine removed though and now I don't throw up constantly but I spent years sick all the time through my teens until they finally realized it was my gallbladder causing the pain/vomiting- super easy surgery, barely any cutting or scars and life has drastically improved
@decafhappiness I would've gone with the surgery but at the time I was offered it, I had just started a new job and I didn't want to immediately have to take off if a change on my diet could've helped. Once I get enough vacation days I might go back and do the surgery.
Ive been having stomach problems for almost a year.
Hard to eat, could hardly function, sick to my stomach and felt like i was going to pass out.
8 months of hell.
Finally a new doctor that actually believed me and didnt think it was caused by stress, she actually belived me that i wasnt crazy, did some blood work.
I have less than half the vitamin D i need and my calcium levels were hanging on by a thread.
Low vitamin D and hypocalcemia can cause everything i was feeling.
Im on the track to recovery. Such simple little things caused so much damage.
Sometimes it is psychiatric and that should always be an option and should be looked into and ruled out, but sometimes it is something physical and to reject that as a possibility will make the patient feel like they are insane and make them feel worse.
Yes, it was my fault for being malnurished, but I wasnt crazy.
Bless my new doctor for believing me.
So glad she believed you, as do many doctors tend to not believe women and chalk it up to mental conditions, stress, anxiety, depression, etc when it's not.
I'm happy to hear that you found the right doctor and are now on the right road to recovery. Good luck to you!!
I'm so happy for you thank God I got your came into your life.

I know I have never been offered any kind of blood panel to see if I had any nutritional deficiencies and I'm certain that the majority of my problems are related to deficiencies because my diet is embarrassingly crap. I just rarely feel hungry and the thought of eating or preparing food is enough to skip it until I'm so starving I'll just eat whatever is fast and easy - idk if my adhd or what is the root of this issue, but I've always been like that and it's gotten worse with age. I'm not underweight, a little over weight actually.

Gastroparesis
@@anitraduke2265 Have you watched the whole episode and know or is that your guess? Because I really want to know if it is as it was also my first guess when I heard the symptoms and it happens a lot that medical professionals think it's an eating disorder when it's that.
She didnt have any ed, or arfid, she had a physical problem, the nerve in her intestinal track and her lower gi was blocked off. She could get the food below a certain point, so her body vomited back up, but her necrotic mom made doctors think it was a ED till she ate the hamburger and saw she didnt have any eating disorders and while not liking her to eat fast food and greeasy food, the mom still let her eat what she wanted or could eat.

I was NOT anorexic. I didn't have an eating disorder in that sense at all (I probably had psychosomatic nausea from anxiety/stress/ and a fear of vomiting). I was so nauseated all tye time. So nauseated.
Water was hard.
I got down to 88 lbs. Doctor said if I didn't eat They'd have to tube me. He recommended Boost high protein. Mother bought one of those slushy makers and I managed to eat a quarter, then a half. Over I was still on a liquid diet and things still set me off super often, but I really enjoyed the boost.
I progressed to chicken noodle, then noodles with small amounts of butter and cheese, then toast, small sandwiches, and hamburger helper.
I LIVED off of ranitidine before and after every meal and gasex superstrength as often as it was prescribed on the regular gassex.
Norovirus WRECKED my system and my mental health wasn't good either.
Getting on an SSRI also helped.
I am now medication free and can eat anything I want! To the detriment of my body(is joke, but I am 220, working on getting all my nutrients back in order and then adding exersize).
I’m having similar problems. I lost so much weight already but they cant find what’s wrong. They scoped me and still don’t know but i’m nauseous before, during, and after food. I throw up stomach acid. Is there any tips you have because I feel helpless 😭

Question, can you feel your heartbeat in your stomach when you eat?
I was kind of similar.
I developed anorexia (Not nervosa the psychological kind.) from really bad anxiety when I was 16 until 18.
I was six foot but seven and a half stone.
I ended up thankfully turning to exercise and eating weight gainer, protein shakes and pizza and ice cream to gain weight.
Thankfully it helped and I ended up the fittest I ever had been.
I got on SSRI's at 18 and they too really helped the anxiety and stopped the panic attacks I was having.
Gastroparesis so often gets mistaken for an eating disorder. It turns out it's really hard to eat when your body violently rejects practically everything, like yeah, gastroparesis patients tend to avoid eating. For good reason.
My dentist asked me several yrs ago if I had an ED, which I clearly denied. Finally got my GP diagnosis a yr ago
@@suzzanahbessette6989 My dentist is always telling me to stop the soda since the acid in it is like stomach acid. I NEVER drink soda. Like many other things, it makes me sick. Gastric reflux has been dissolving my teeth for years. Add TMJ in and my dental appointments are difficult to face.
I have gastroparesis. I couldn't even drink water without extreme pain. I left the hospital on 8 meds. The dr wanted to remove my stomach, and I refused. The meds caused Parkinson's, so I stopped all meds and researched it myself. It is under control with some occasional flare-ups. I have a hard time trusting docs to do the simplest most commonsense approach. Liquid diet in the am, small meals, chew well, eat slowly, walk daily. Everyone is different. I hope anyone suffering finds relief and a full life!
@lindatyner3349 I have gastroparesis. I was 240lbs, now I am 125lbs. Medical Dr's claim it's due to diabetes. In 2019, I had my gallbladder removed. It leaked from not being closed properly and as it leaked, it pushed my stomach up while bending it in half. I am pretty sure that amount of damage in 29 days most likely the vegas (sp) nerve. My heart breaks for anyone dealing with this awful disease. This video is so me.
Is your gastroparesis debilitating? My Dr had me stop working in 2019 because it was so out of control... still is. Do you always have warning prior to vomiting? I don't. If I leave my house, I have to have an emesis bag with me.
Also you can develop Gastritis, which is a condition in a lot of people with EDs where your body can become trained to get sick once anything hits your stomach
Didnt know people with Anorexia could get that too. I got it its a Inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Its Like a stinning unbearable pain everytime you eat something and you Need to get onto a diet of very blamd Food to get rid of it atleast a little Bit. No citrous fruits No grease, no Alkohol, No sault, No chillie, No bread. It can come from too much Stress also wich was the start of Mine. Most never get rid of it also.
and that is literally the hardest part about recovering from having an ed
Good to know, seriously. ✌🏾
I don't like food being wasted but I'll be damned if I'm a force-feeder.

A TIC TAC LMAO THE WAY HE SAID IT SO CASUALLY MAN
People with chronic illnesses of all varieties will forever have my sympathy. I've had a variety of illnesses and health issues, but those go away. I can't imagine any of those symptoms, pain, nausea, exhaustion, dizziness, becoming a part of my life for years.
it was a long process, but after suffering for a few years I found out what I was dealing with and found medication and routines to help with it. Laxatives have unironically saved my life lmao
it gets easier if you stick with it. and it becomes our normal. even though it can be really hard to go through 🥲
Chronically ill individual here.
Life with these many symptoms is a nightmare. Can successfully eat something 1 day, but the next.... Horribly ill. One day you have all the clarity and energy in the world, 2 hours later, a day later - can't move from bed/the couch in horrible pain.
It sucks!
it gets really overwhelming when you understand its forever. I've been sick my whole life. I'm severely disabled at 25. and I'm not sure if dying young to my condition or a long miserable life probably half spent in the hospital is worse. the last day I had a pain free day I was probably 10 years old. it's hard to get up and face it every day!

@@livewellwitheds6885 i think about this a lot. im also disabled, just turned 18, and i feel like my life is over before it even started. i had so many plans for my future, to go to college, to live in my own house, but i can barely get out of bed. its amazing that i have a good support system and a care team that knows my body, but i cant bear to think of all the people who don't, who get misdiagnosed with psychiatric disorders when it's a chronic illness. i have a friend who is also disabled and they tried to make her stay in an eating disorder ward when she didn't have one. i see so many people my age that are able to do multiple activities a day, go on vacations, not feel absolutely terrible after going on an airplane or in a car, i really envy them. i mourn the life i could've had.
“What kind of pill did u give her?
…”A TiCtAc
💀💀💀💀
I actually deal with this myself sometimes, the issue for the patient is she hasn’t eaten in so long, any and all food actually does become incredibly difficult to eat no matter how hungry you are. Once you reach the “point of no return” you’re sick all the time, even when you eat you are sick and could throw it up. Anorexia is scary to deal with, and I also am autistic and have ARFID. This is a SLOW recovery process, you have to teach your stomach to allow more and more food each time, and getting that food down is literal hell on earth. I had to shake my arms and legs as I ate to combat the nausea, I had to get up with my arms up in the air to get more air to my stomach to settle it. Anorexia, no matter what reason you have it is a mental game more than anything. Anorexia also can make you developed a fear of food which is likely what this patient was suffering from as well since all food made her sick, she needed to be told there was a magic pill that would get rid of that for her so she was able to use the placebo effect to think she could eat safely. ❤ I hope anyone who is suffering from this gets the help they need, and take it one day at a time. Recovery is possible. Rely on protein shakes too, those things have literally saved my life and helped my stomach allow more food intake.
I deal with much of the same- pickle juice has also been amazing for battling nausea
I went through the same thing got out of an ed facility about 3 months ago I feel a lot better now and have good weight on me also adhd neurodivergent insomniac ever wanna talk I’m here it’s hard to find people who go though the same things sometimes
I did the nausea thing when I was pregnant, and I can attest that the longer I'd wait to see if the nausea would settle, the harder it would be to actually eat without pain. My best option was to eat a bit every few hours between meals.
I'm so sorry for everyone who has an eating disorder. Thanks for sharing your experiences and broadening my understanding ❤
i’m also autistic with arvid!! i had anorexia at 13 and am still dealing with it at 22. i’ve gotten much better but i still haven’t gotten my body to reverse how it feels hunger. i don’t get a normal hungry feeling anymore, i just feel empty and nauseous. and yes i eat very regularly. doesn’t matter. i have to eat very slowly if i get too hungry because otherwise i’ll feel like i’ll throw it up. all food becomes disgusting if i’ve gone to long without eating (literally could be just 6 hours but i’ll differently feel DISGUSTING at the thought of eating). i only have textural/flavor avoidances thankfully so it’s not as hard to find safe foods. but yeah, it’s no where near easy. i’m just thankful the last few years i’ve had amazing supports who helped me ❤️ i’ve even gained 30 pounds in the last two years. i’m learning to love this new body and it’s hard but i know i can do it
Yo i think i need to go get seen. Than you for this comment. Im not emaciated, I just force myself to eat to not die. I knew this was not normal. Thank you oh my god. Even the way you described settling yourself.
I had a wheat intolerance that was undiagnosed. I was starving to death slowly and was in a ton of pain. A speciakist thought it was anorexia and if my parents believed him I would've died
How is it that so many doctors are willing to risk their patients’ lives like this? I don’t know if it’s laziness or stubbornness or pride or _what_ but it’s terrifying how many people have had their lives endangered like this. Thank God your parents took their responsibilities seriously in that situation bc the doctor obviously didn’t 😑
i have celiac and i am so lucky that i was young enough that it wasn't really considered, i was 5. The day before i was diagnosed i had my last gluten meal and im so lucky i didn't feel sick afterwards or that memory would be bad too
Same! I dealt with pain 7-8 years and it gotten to point where I would only eat 1 small meal at supper time to sleep throw the pain, turns out gluten was the cause of it all and more😭. When it first started I gotten told the issue was the way I was taking my iron pills💀 bro didn’t even do blood test💀
@@meiamymeiI honestly have no idea💀 one of my old doctor told me my pain was caused by the way I was taking my iron pill, he didn’t even do a blood test. Turn out it was celiac💀
My son is like this and is having a Colonoscopy and Endoscopy this week finally! He does have anxiety and it’s right to look at the Psychological side of things but also the Physiological. Thanks to everyone who have shared about their issues.
I have had this problem off/on for months now, finally the endoscopy/colonoscopy is being scheduled! I'm scared!!
this episode made me cry ngl. i went through something similar and it was awful. i couldn’t eat or drink anything without experiencing horrible pain and nausea. my doctors told me to “just eat” and that my pain was all in my head. i was convinced that i was crazy and would make myself even more sick trying to eat. i was severely malnourished and dehydrated and i worried that i would die. i spent countless nights in the ER in excruciating pain unable to keep anything down. i lost 25 pounds before i was finally diagnosed with MALS. i had surgery and my symptoms have mostly resolved. i wish doctors would believe patients and we wouldn’t have to suffer like this.
Its believe WOMEN, actually. It’s believe US about our own damn bodies. 😡😓🙄
I have MALS, which surgeon did you go to? I've been seeing one in Connecticut but its a 5-6 hour drive each direction so it's difficult. Plus I have gastroparesis as well and I have feeding tubes. I'm really glad to hear your symptoms mostly resolved with surgery!!! Thats what I hope happens for me 😊
To me it sounds like gastroparesis. Especially with the whole eating disorder thing because that unfortunately happens to a lot of patients before they're believed and actually get help. Some actually starve and lose a lot of weight before they get help so I hope doctors get better about diagnosing it and in general ruling out physical diagnoses.
sounds exactly like gastroparesis. i have it and you get treated like you have an ED. ive found good drs now who treat me the way it should be treated. im actually really glad that one person in the comments section knows about the condition because a lot of people either dont know or pass it off as an ED.
My goodness yall are the only folks outside of doctors that know about it. My mom has gastroparesis. I'm tell yall itcan get brutal sometimes. We never know when an attack will happen. I would love some tips on how either one of yall deal with it.
I have it and when it flares up worse than normal I can't even keep water down. I've been forced into 2 different ED facilities before they believed it was a physical issue
I thought this too! I have GP and was "diagnosed" with anorexia in the beginning 😐
i would agree if she didn’t throw up immediately! the symptoms of gastroparesis are usually a few hours after you eat (when your stomach is emptying into your bowels, or as your bowels are trying to move things along). source: i have it lmfao
As someone with gastritis- this is my life. And it caused an eating disorder and “refeeding syndrome.” It’s not fun, it’s not is purposely starving ourselves. We want to eat desperately but we can’t and it hurts.
I have an ulcer. For 15 years, all the Dr's put on their Harry Potter robes and say, "Take this, it will cure you." Well, I feel your pain throwing up everyday is awful looking at food thinking will this make me sick ?
@@gwynethcook5663 I’m sorry you’re going through it. My luck and blessing or even by the grace of Dumbledore is that my bestfriend has scientists and doctors for parents. They have been keeping me alive for years now. EVERYTHING hurts. Bread, Rice, Most Milks, I can’t have almonds due to being anemic and almonds eat my iron. Dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, tomatos, lettuce. That’s just what HURTS to eat. Allergies are different and also limit food choices. You will have to navigate by yourself because doctors will
Blanket Statement you to your grave. If I listened to them I would be dead. Right now my bones have the health of a neglected malnourished 75 year old and my insurance is fighting me. It sucks. We know our bodies best. There are a few tips I picked up based on diet and what feels good/safe. ❤️❤️❤️
My husband always asks me if I’ve eaten. I tell him “ why would I? It hurts to eat and to not eat. At least with not eating I don’t throw up.” No one understands.
I used to get gastritis a lot for years. I always had stomach trouble. I stopped eating gluten to try to be healthy and curiously all of my stomach issues went away.
I hve gastritis now at 24! I used to starve myself when I was 17 (disordered eating but never got diag with ED and stuff probably because I'm overweight which could possibly also be hypothyroid.. idk its just a lot) and yea.. thankfully I'm now at a point where I can eat and not vomit out.. so I can eat before I get those insane pains.. I take antacids when I rly need to and that helps.. I still wake up in the morning with a bit of vomit in my throat sometimes but it's so much better than not being able to eat or else I throw up and all that... I hope everyone here recovers/ gets into a spot where eating is viable again!
For me I just ate a few spoons at a time, and rice has definitely helped me out more as a source of carbs than bread (I am asian though so I eat rice anyways).. I may never fully understand you guys' struggles but I hear you and pray for you!
This is so sad but so real. It’s crazy how much our bodies can mess with food. Makes me appreciate every meal more! 🍽️❤️
Yes.
That was pretty smart, giving her a tic tac and making it seem like it was a new medicine to see if it was mental.
I remember watching this episode for the first time. I had an eating condition very similar to that, I liked to eat, never was much of a binge eater, but whenever I did eat I got anxious and vomited. It made me lose a lot of weight and, of course, whenever I got to the doctor they would say that it was "anorexia nervosa" and dismiss any other explanation.
Well, it turns out, the perfomance to eat well and fast is what caused me to develop this food anxiety. It wasn't the same as her case, but our symptoms were still very similar (the sitting position with my arms around my legs worked for me too!). I only managed to work that out in the covid pandemic, when I didn't have to worry about "perfoming" to other people.
I remember getting so angry at the female doctor for dismissing other diagnosis because that's something I was sooo familiar with, going to the doctors. But well, at least I've been going strong for 4 years now!
What’s this called?
It’s the mother. She is pressuring the teen so much her body is having a reaction to the stress levels her mother is placing on her.
Sick kid here. And no, it’s not, though stressed moms do cause problems - one you have exemplified very nicely.
When a (justifiably) worried mom acts stressed/overly protective/emotional during a doctor’s visit, a young patient’s symptoms are more likely to be perceived as stress-induced, drama-related and thus psychological. Realistically though, there is still a very very good possibility that the patient’s symptoms have a physiological cause - which in turn elicits highly emotional reactions from stressed and concerned parents.
We need education on both sides here. Medical professionals should be more understanding of how mentally taxing a physical disease is for patients and their loved ones and not let their prejudice on emotional behavior impair their judgement. Parents, on the other hand, need to check in with themselves and the medical team on how to best help their child and seek psychological guidance for how to process their emotions instead of dumping it all over the already sick child.
Not too long ago, the girl in the video was me, slowly starving due to an inability to eat (due to a physical cause; we found out two years ago). Being a young female with this type of parent (however well they may intend it) in the healthcare system is so tough. I don’t know much about being a parent of a sick kid from experience and hope I never will, but I bet it’s really hard too. So give them all some grace, for I think of them daily and they need it so❤
Our daughter was diagnosed with an eating disorder after returning to her pediatrician several times regarding nausea and vomiting. We went to a psychiatrist and a therapist for months and things got worse. She then began having double vision in her periphery and we took her in again. Finally, they did an MRI. That day she was on a life flight to children’s hospital in Salt Lake due to two large brain tumors on and near her pituitary. She survived but was in Salt Lake children’s hospital followed by Seattle children’s for the better part of almost three years. She then had non malignant tumors discovered in her twenties, due to the extreme amount of radiation she had when she was 13 and 14. She has a litany of lifelong health issues due to the brain cancer and the treatments including diabetes insipidous, thyroid issues, endocrine issues, etc. She stopped growing even though she had daily growth hormone injections (she is 4’8” and looks prepubescent). I wish we had followed our instincts and demanded further testing when we were repeatedly told it was an eating disorder.
Parents always blame themselves...but we are brought into society being TOLD we must do exactly what Doctors say, at all times, Doctor knows best, knows all.
That's not the case and they are human on top of that and make mistakes.
You are not to blame, your love is evident and you have done everything in your power and knowledge at the time for your child. You have no onus at all...I know the words of a stranger mean nothing, particularly on the internet, but you are not at fault.
God bless her! And God bless you, too! That sounds worse than being the starring character in a real-life horror movie! As rough as it is for her, as her mom, it must be torture having no idea, for so many years, what's wrong. My condolences for what you and your family have been through!
It is called mal practice. For years I went to an endocrinologist every 3 months complaining about this or that new symptom.
Instead of researching anything, they gave me a psych evaluation instead. I figured my issue out with Dr. Web. Got an operation and have been much better ever since. Bastard lazy doctors!
😢🫂🫂 poor kid and you poor parents!
I am pretty sure God gave her the tumors.
Nausea sucks. I'm an RN, most people are not aware that it's common to need more than one antinausea medication to get relief. A lot of chemo patients have to take four.
I’m currently battling brain cancer and I take Zofran, Compazine, Phernegren or the Sancuso patch as last resorts.
My I know common is it for people with depression and anxiety?
I had a severe reaction to food when I was at my peak of anxiety. Spent months not being able to eat without gagging after 2 spoonfuls of food. Sometimes I couldn't even enter a restaurant without gagging. I can eat now, but still gag over anything. I wonder if that was an option for me at that time.
Too bad so many are also atypical antipsychotics that cause me to have Tardive Dyskenisia. I cant take phenergan or reglan or compazine... all end in me uncontrollably biting my tongue and having facial/jaw spasms. Only zofran works for me, and not always
I’m pregnant and it has been hell having to go through this same thing but I’ve found comfort in knowing that once I give birth it will all be over I couldn’t imagine it being permanent like this girl💔
Be careful and eat slow...I had 6 kids with my first 4(girls) I stayed sick the entire time...my stomach shrank...eat little meals but as many as you can...healthy snack your socks off!
My grandma was a hypochondriac and was always in the doctors office because she was sure she had this or that and oh she was sure she had various types of cancer all the time well she lived to 96 and died healthy as could be in her sleep like I hope I get to. But my grandpa said back in the day there were times that she'd be so persistent that the doc would write a script and the pharmacy was like next door but he'd give her the script and call the pharmacy have him make the label up but put baby aspirin or a sugar pills and after a few days she'd say she felt better, grandpa joked you could've wiped the M's off of m&m and told her it was medicine and she'd believe you. Love the woman but damn it was crazy. I could only imagine what she'd say she had now with web-md and the internet in general
I'm somewhat similar to your grandma and I genuinely hate living like this, it makes life harder to enjoy. I'm always scared or worried that something is wrong, constantly body checking and never feeling like I am 100% okay. It's scary, exhausting and upsetting. I can confidently say that searching is the worst. I try not to do it but sometimes I just need an explanation.
I really don't have the finances to keep going to the doctor and I feel bad for taking spots away from people who likely need it more than me. The truth is that I am unwell but I am okay physically, it's my brain that's unwell - that's what causes all that worry. The internet can truly make me spiral, so I try to have restrictions on words etc
I am trying to get better through medication and therapy but it's definitely something I'd never wish on anyone. Hope you and your family are well and sorry for the yapping! Haha
Being a hypochondriac is an illness in itself. I feel for you, I was labeled a hypochondriac for years.
The difference is is that I actually am sick. It just took them years to figure it out. One was when I was 30 when I was diagnosed and the second one, which has been the most debilitating, they have just diagnosed and I'm 55.
It takes over your entire life especially the fear in believing that you are I'll.
Good luck in overcoming your illness Of hypochondria. 😊
A lot of elderly people from her generation or people who have survived a life threatening illness or taken care of someone who succumbed to a severe illness can develop hypochondria. The term is an archaic medical term. It’s referred as Health Anxiety now. I wouldn’t be surprised if it would start to be treated as PTSD for some people. Being severely ill and/or losing a loved one to a sudden or chronic disease can really mess with your mental health. I met a woman who was diagnosed with hypochondria when she was older because her mother was a batshit abusive Munchausen by proxy nut. She was one of the few people who survived their mother’s by proxy diagnosis.
@@faithkurtz1656 I am the same way. You are not alone.
@@rantinggrannyb7408 you're so kind, thank you. I hope you're feeling and doing well ❤️🩹 remember you're brave and incredibly strong, I wish you the best ❤️
I went through something similar when I was extremely anxious over a period of time in my childhood. Everything I ate i felt I couldn’t physically swallow and would make me want to throw up. It was awful but luckily my anxiety doesn’t do that to me anymore.
I understand how tough this is. I am 15, 5 ft 4 inches tall, and weigh only 95 pounds. It's horrible. If I eat anything, I feel nauseous so I limit my eating as much as possible. As a result, I have little energy most of the time. I also struggle with my image and often find myself glued to my bathroom mirror looking at myself and thinking to myself how if my waist isn't as small as someone with 20 plastic surgeries, I'm" fat" and need to stop eating so much. It's very hard and not many can understand this. My parents just laugh and find it silly that I should feel this way which is disheartening because they think I want to be this way; I just don't know how to fix it. It's a real problem that should be addressed as a real concern and not just a joke.❤
I am sorry you are going thru your own ordeal. Talk to your primary physician or school
Nurse to help advocate for you. Plz talk to someone. You are worth it!
Please ask for help from someone you trust. The nausea could be from a physical cause. Get some bloodwork done at least. Missing out on important nutrients can throw off your hormones, your brain chemicals and cause other physical problems too. This could be causing an exaggeration to your symptoms and how you feel about yourself all at the same time. It’s hard work to be healthy but it’s even harder to do it the sicker you get. You are your best advocate! Love to you ❤
Your parents are failing you horribly.
This is child neglect which is a form of abuse. I'm sure your parents don't understand that this is what they are doing but it needs to stop. Find an adult you can trust to help you or you may have life long health problems. It sucks bad that this has to be on you and it's not your fault. May peace and happiness come to you❤
Edit: I'm now around 92 pounds........
My son went thru this nightmare condition in 7th grade. It was so hard to watch him go through and no one knew what was happening. We saw SOOOO many doctors until finally we found someone who knew just by listening to my entire story (confirmed later thru testing). It resolved after nearly two years. By that time, he’d lost 25% of his body weight. Thank God he’s better today and doing great! Hold on Moms and Dads. You’ll get through this.
What is the condition?
People in the comments are assuming this is was an ED case but it wasn’t (in the full episode) she actually has a real GI issue that caused her to get sick after eating. Drs. assumed it was an ED at first because that’s what they are used to seeing but she ended up having a rare GI issue that caused her symptoms
the mum is probably the one who made her like this forcing her to go this weird diet thing and bcz she didnt want to eat it bcz it was gross her body is now cautious of everything she eats so throws it back up
maybe her mother makes her so nervous about food that she ends up throwing up
She isn't anorexic
No. This isn’t psychosomatic, it’s a purely physical issue. While her mother was absolutely not helping, she was trying to. An excess of saturated fats can cause similar problems to what this girl was experiencing. The mom was right to question the diet first, because teens with hefty GI issues is uncommon.
@@caitlyncole9150seconded. She wasn't talking about "grease" as a fear of her daughter becoming fat, but her body rejecting heavy/fried foods.
When I was in GLP-1 inhibitors, anything fried or greasy would make me very ill. 😢
What weird diet thing?? If my kid is sick and no doctor can figure out what’s the issue. I’m taking matters into my own hands. All junk food gets thrown out. My entire family would go raw vegan until I can figure out what’s making my child sick. Her mother loved her and was trying to help. Do you know how many bad chemicals are in our food that make us sick and cause cancers?
"I STAN DOCTOR CHARLES" my family yells in unison
WHOA THIS IS WHAT I HAD. It's called SMA (Superior Mesenteric Artery) syndrome. It's caused when you lose the fat pad surrounding the lower portion of your stomach and the artery resting on top starts to press into your stomach and block digestion. I slowly became unable to eat more than a few bites of anything without extreme nausea and pain. Just before I was hospitalized the most I could hope to eat in a day would be a yogurt, a few saltines, and a couple bites of a measly sandwich, but I had a feeding tube for a while and it is resolved now. I'd never heard of it before being diagnosed but it's cool to see it in a TV show.
“What did you give her!?” “✨A Tic Tac✨”
My friend has this. She survived on fruit flavored Boost until she was finally diagnosed. She lost a lot of weight.
She was so excited for that burger I could cry
Mother is monitoring her food.
Actually, that's not it. If I remember correctly, this girl has some rare GI condition where food gets stuck and since it can't go all the way down it comes back up. The doctor was ruling out intentional disorded eating.
No, she is concerned about her eating greasy food which makes nausea worse
The young actress has a fascinating look.... She is like a young Meryl Streep, which makes me want to see her in some complex drama.....
Same girly, I go through phases where I’ll only eat one type of food.
Sounds like autism safe foods actually 😁❤ (I'm autistic too)
If only primary care physicians actually looked into things like this the way docs on ER shows look into their non-emergent patients. In real life, this patient would have been given fluids IF needed and sent home and told to follow up with their PCP.
They don’t run a bunch of tests in the ER to figure out why you’ve felt crappy lately. If you’re walking, talking and breathing then you’re sent home lol b
true and sad af
Exactly lmao wish these were more realistic 😂
exactly. i’ve been in the ER for similar symptoms (due to MALS) and all they ever did was give me IV fluids and OTC pain meds.
i had a similar issue with horrendous nausea and delayed gastric emptying. i lost a lot of weight and the doctors thought i was purposely making myself vomit. i wasn't, i just seriously had a very hard time keeping food down because my stomach wasn't emptying at a normal rate! thankfully im on medication for nausea and for my motility and i can eat almost anything i want to (within reason lol)
Gastroparesis is very similar to this.
'Healthy' food options are generally actually worse for us. (Fiber is our kryptonite.)
If you're dealing with something like this, please see a Gastroenterologist and request a Gastric Emptying Study.
For my fellow GP warriors, keep fighting! ❤
I just got diagnosed with this! It suck’s and definitely can make you feel this way!
I have it for years. I was misdiagnosed for several years before they figured out the issue. It completely changes your life.

"Wise in this process.:" As a black woman, I cannot TELL you, how many times, I've gone to emergency, with high blood pressure, extreme pain in abdomen, and told I would be given something to deal with the pain and bring my pressure down, only to SIT THERE and watch my pressure RISE on the monitor, and my head feel like it's about to explode. I'm ultimately admitted, because when they had opportunity to give me the REAL medication, they gave me some placebo, because of COURSE, I only came there to "get drugs."

I love when you end your videos this way ❤
This reminds me of what i had in high school. Apparently i had severe acid reflux and gerd, some days i could eat fine. Others i couldnt eat anything at all without horrible pain, not even water. Sometimes the pain would come on even if i hadnt eaten anything. I wanted to eat i just couldn't. Only puking could make me feel better, at the time i was underwight and exhausted half the time. Thankfully Beano, Keifer and stress management helped it go away, but it was hell for the longest time, felt like my body was punsihing me for literally trying to keep myself alive because i needed to eat and drink water.

When i had appendicitis, most symptoms talk about nausea, fevers, and specific pain. All i felt was better if i ate something and in pain all over most of the time. My family had a history of Crohns disease and severe obesity, and i was so dang scared this was some eating disorder. I just felt better when eating and eventually went to urgent care after the pain stayed for over a week. I can definitely see where you know there's something wrong, but you also feel on the border of some eating disorder because of how people see you.
I had to go through this too. It’s frickin AWFUL. They told me it was all in my head before an infection almost in-alived me
Gastroparesis. My sister has it. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
I have it too. I agree I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Me too it's basically eat and suffer or don't eat and suffer 😣
@melissa9734 She was on a feeding tube and how has one below her stomach and right into her intestines. She has special formula that goes in it.
Me too, it's just awful to associate food with pain and throwing up.
My mom has it and seeing what is does to her I wouldn't wish it on anyone either.
The mind is a powerful force in our physical health. My anxiety has done a number on everything from my head to my stomach to even my legs. That is why it is important to test whether an ailment is psychological or physical in nature.
Daughter went through this. Autoimmune condition called Eosinophilic esophagitos. Took almost losing her to starvation, and refusing to leave the children's hospital until she was seen by the GI doctor.
i’m 21 and have had this my entire life!! been through a lot of endoscopies and surgeries and feeding tubes. doing the best i’ve ever been. i wish the best for you and your daughter!! she’s got this
Много сте сладки и готини! Пожелавам ти 500К мининум тук❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Whats crazy is that I also have gastroparesis and when I was on Prednisone years and years ago, I COULD eat anything without repercussions!!! At that point, I wasnt able to eat solids AT ALL. Once I got off the script, my GP came back but was totally manageable. It was like a miracle drug.
The damage stomach acid causes from these types of issues, is the most frustrating part imo.
My stomach does this with most food. Mainly solid. Soft solids are fine sometimes. I have so much damage from all the puking that it also now hurts to eat most foods. Bread is gentle, and the only thing I can keep down sometimes. Sometimes, even bread just won't stay down. I have to sit my cold drinks out for a bit before I can drink it, or it feels like putting freezing water over a burn. It hurts too much to consume cold or hot food. It's not every time I eat. Just most of the time.
It hit me really hard while I was still healing from spine surgery, so that was fun lol.
As someone who used to struggle with anorexia, I think the placebo was just to see if she'd be willing to eat. A few times I was prescribed nausea medicine or something else because of my claims, and then when I would be given medicine to correct it, I would still find another issue that would "prevent me" from eating. Either that or I would just make it look like I was eating.
Stress makes your stomach shut down.
I love food but struggle to eat.
Pray over your body and plead the blood of Jesus over it. Rebuke the spirit of stress and anxiety.
The Bible tells us we do not war against flesh and blood but against the principalities of darkness in the dark and crazy world.
It is beautiful to live at peace when you were once living a life full of torment and fear, stress and anxiety.
I will forever Praise our Lord for setting me free and truly being my redeemer!!!🙌🏼😭❤️🙌🏼😇 praying for you!
Great tribute, performance, harmony, and surprise!
Thank you!

I was in emergency one night 2 years ago. I was in a very bad mental state and my parents were concerned because I said I didn’t want to be around. It was passive ideation but they were scared so dragged me there.
For around a month up to that I had been struggling to eat. Everytime I ate I couldn’t keep it down. I was so constantly anxious and was having daily intense panic attacks. I PHYSICALLY could not keep anything down.
The head adolescent psychiatrist took one look at me and told me to stop being silly and just eat. That refusing to eat wouldn’t solve anything. He wouldn’t listen to mine or my mother’s explanation. He was adamant that I was just some dumb teen with an ED.
I’m glad that in this at least someone is taking her seriously
Maybe she’s just allergic to tic tacs
There are so many conditions that can make you vomit that aren't ED related. I have cyclic vomiting syndrome and before we figured it out... at one point I was vomiting so much for months on end that I was blacking out. They kept giving me oral nausea meds but I would throw it up before it had any chance to do anything and because I was over weight they kept accusing me of being bulimic. Why would I be going to the Dr constantly to give me med to make the vomiting stop if I was? Thankfully now I have proper nausea patches and we've been eliminating triggers that can be removed.
I have cvs too, what nausea patches work for you? I keep getting oral meds too and it's so frustrating @dragonacid16
My baby had this for years till she was old enough to pick her own food I kept food diaries her dad was personal trainer it was o no y a professor in alder hey realize it was a cycle and gave her anti sickness meds
I struggled for 2 years, not being able to eat anything without being sick. I was nauseous 24/7. Doctors did nothing for it. I had to fix my problems on my own. Unfortunately, it left me with some damage.
how did you go about doing this? i’m in this position rn.
When I was in my 20's, a friend had stomach pain, possibly due to stress. I had recently gained a couple of pounds. She suggested yogurt. We went Dutch for payment. I'd go to get the yogurt and bring it back for lunch. We did this for several weeks with some success.
Red flag about the actual nausea, and, say it softly, what kind of damage? Read the other comments too. Sending get well wishes.
“What did you give her?” “A tictac” 😂🤣🤣🤣
Love the characters he plays.
he was smart for checking to make sure. Now they KNOW its a bodily issue and can start the necessary surgeries
Former Chemo kid-got to the point food was just...unintersting if I was going to eat and lose everything.
Same, I'm under weight because all the chemo made me nauseous and no nausea medicine would help and I didn't want to eat when I got nauseous so that made me loose weight fast
My friend had a condition called achalasia which caused this. Basically the muscles in her esophagus that open/close to let stuff into the stomach stopped working. So her body would throw it up since it would just get stuck in her esophagus. She lost so much weight, and she was already a skinny girl. She almost died. Thankfully they were able to preform a surgery to fix the muscles.
@Riivorn it is actually the brain not getting the signal to make the lower esophageal sphincter open because the esophagus has low or no motility. During the surgery they cut that muscle where it is open all the time. Achalasia has no cure & is supposedly rare. In my opinion it is under diagnosed or misdiagnosed as other things & isn't near as rare as they want us to believe. There are not enough of us for the pharmaceutical companies or doctors for it to be profitable for them to find us a cure. I'm one of the lucky ones to have been diagnosed rather quickly. Most spend 5 to 20 years begging for a diagnosis.
My grad school roommate had that too!
My twin had the same.
Does your friend have problems with her blood sugar (low) now?
As someone with gastroparesis this is particularly painful to watch
Dang I feel her. My son can eat almost everything sometimes I want to eat certain foods and they just make me sick as well. 😢
I know it is a tv show but I have had this issue since starting pre-menopause. Could be hormonal. I have pills for it. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. The other part is that 99% of the time, nothing sounds edible either.
I had it for 3 years in perimenopause it was the worst. I would dry heaves for a week before my period and sometimes after it would come back for weeks. It ruined trips, my everyday life. It was like morning sickness then at night I felt better. It finally stopped last year. I had a uterine polyp removed and it finally stopped throwing up. Good luck it’s really one of the lesser known perimenopause symptoms and doctors thought I was crazy. I took zofran for it but that made me dizzy. I still don’t know for sure if it was the polyp but a hormone specialist told me it could have caused inflammation. Idk 🤷🏻♀️ good luck because the sickness is the worst.
Totally unrelated but I have no desire to eat or drink anything when I get sick. Even when I am hungry and want to eat something I just can’t. I have random days where I’m not hungry and could go weeks without eating.
youre not alone, i could be eating what ive always loved and will all the sudden feel sick and my mouth does not want to chew, i will gag if i swallow it so i just give up. My weight fluctuates so much.
I found (if you can) eating squirrel food helps. I keep bags of trail mix on me or liquid foods like applesauce, fruit pops ( not amzing but you can get some vitamins and hydrate while not feeling sick)
I've been there, but after my recovery from Ednos. After so many years of starving and purging, my stomach couldn't handle a lot of foods and I would get sick on my own. Two years of recovery and I love food, but it's so hard to eat. I either get full too fast or get nauseous
“What did you give her?”
“A Tic Tac” 😂
the end is KILLING ME💀💀😭😭
So refreshing to see a parent advocating for their kid and actually being right about something instead of just being proven wrong
Where is the paragraph person?!? I have gastroparesis please tell me this is an episode about it?!?
From what I'm seeing in some other comments, it's gastroparesis.
What show is it

Why I have a feeling That's because her Mom?😢
Idk, she was rightfully concerned about the greasy food as it’s notoriously bad for stomach issues and makes nausea worse.
As a odansetron/zofran girlie i feel this comepletely i use to get sick just from feeling a little hungry, or thinking about eating something. And now I can actually get food down without it being such a struggle. I was never underweight (the typical anorexia look) but I definitely have had the same issues with eating it absolutely sucks! Getting so hungry that you feel sick from the hunger and sick at the thought of eating is the worst.
I eat but it never stays in. Other end, not vomit unless I eat when I’m not hungry. This started approximately a year after getting my gallbladder out. I went from 115lbs to 85lbs in 6 mos. I’m 5ft4in, 53f. Not a single doctor will actually help me but they always say ‘you’re dangerously underweight!’! That’s why I’m sitting in front of you, git! I’ve started taking anti-diarrhoea pills to keep what I eat and drink in, sometimes it actually works. I’m scheduled with another specialist next week, it took 6 months to get this appointment. I’d rather see my dog’s vet than an MD or DO. I’m steady at 85 now, got as low as 79lbs. Utter madness. I love food!
in middle school/part of high school had a "tick" that made me throw up every time i ate. itd get to a certain point in my stomach, & id spit it back up instantly. even if i tried to hold it down, it just made me feel worse. i used to have a "spit cup" or bag or bucket with me all the time because i couldnt eat without throwing up. it turned into an ED when it got to the point where i refused to eat in public because it was embarassing & would binge when i got home, just for my body to reject it all. rumination is what i was diagnosed with, but turns out part of it was most likely caused by lyme disease as well, which i had all along. i still gag sometimes randomly to the point it hurts & i still dont know why i get so violently nauseous dispite all the medical professionals ive seen...
The mom is the biggest problem.
no she isn't... it's not an eating disorder. she was trying to alleviate the symptoms via dietary restrictions as hamburgers and fast food are indeed inflammatory for a lot of people with stomach issues
Nope, greasy foods are notoriously bad when you have stomach issues.
This is a great channel. Keep up the good work! Youll be at 1 mil subscribers soon!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
“What did you give her?” 😂 “A tic-tac”
found you on my home page, idk how you don’t have more subs! UR FUNNY, ENTERTAINING and ur editing style is chefs kiss lol
I had the same problem in the past. Everyone thought that I had anorexia and would always try to make me eat the food when I couldn’t even finish it before starting to throw up. I even got into a big argument with my mom about that. BUT I like the food , I love eating and I wasn’t even trying to loose weight. I tried to do everything to gain several kgs back ,but it didn’t work out. So ,I went to the gastroenterologist and they found out the problem. And it was not anorexia . The way my family and friends shut up after that and actually started to listen to me .
I was able to gain the weight back and solve the problem with some procedures and medications. But now I have chronic gastritis and very sensitive stomach . So, I still need to look out what food I am eating. 😅
What did you give her? “…a tic tack” 😂😂😂😂
Debilitating is an understatement at best. This is HELL on earth (I'm approaching gastric bypass as an 80# 49 y/o woman 10yrs of tpn) I hate there's not more of us cuz that translates in to seeming like I want others to suffer and I don't. I want more people or, better yet, more doctors south of Minnesota that understand idiopathic gastrophresis, short gut, and damage to the c
Ad 91vagus nerve.
" I love food, I just can't eat it" this is my version of "I have a DE not a ED" and I could soooooo get on my "soap box" but I will spare y'all to say 🎉kuddos to psych here❤ (I guess if u know, you know) and yes I'm aware this is a fictional TV show buuut rather than the actor I'd love to chat with this script writer
"What'd you give her?"
"A Tic-Tac."
That made me laugh. Aha! 😂😂
“What did you give her” “a tic tac” “a tic tac?!” Lol😂
🤣 * what you give her* " a tic tac" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
i so felt this,i done did test after test after test,tried plenty of meds,and i can only eat so many bites before i get full or sick and then if i make a meal and make me plate,it takes me all day....my kids be like you only eat 3 bites and it last you all day...on top of being a diabetic i have to eat with my meds and it be hard my sugars end up dropping so low,i just vomit alot of stomach acid...i end up just drinking a smoothie and lots of nausea meds and acid reflux meds...it be so hard to lose weight,i hate it here
A Tic Tac can cure anything. ANYTHING, I tell ya!
Chocolate chip cookies too! Best medicine ever!!!
🙄 The tic tac was used for the placebo effect. The patient takes the tic tac thinking that it's medicine going to help. If it does then they know that the problem is mental. But if it doesn't then the problem is physical.
I actually had this issue! It’s called MALS!! I had it fixed through a surgery where they took out my celiac ganglia and trimmed back my diaphragm. I hadn’t been able to eat any solid foods for over a year because of it.
Ah gastroparesis. I’ve been in remission since 2022 and can say you really don’t realize how much you take for granted until it’s gone :)
Gus Birney 😍 She's so pretty!
