I think I know the condition he's talking about. It varies in certain lengths. Some people get the heartburn/acid reflux, and will just barf in their mouths sporadically. It gets to the point, where you start fearing certain foods, because of the regurgitation. Basically, most doctors don't help you because they know very little about it. You have to see a gastroentronologist. Try finding that in the phone book. There's like one per every two major cities.
Another condition you can get is where you food just won't go down past your trachea. It literally sits there, until you either throw it up, or hopefully swallow the portions down with water. People with this condition end up drinking those protein shakes for months, until they can get surgery to open up the esophagus. There's even history of people having their throats literally grow closed (close to), from not getting this looked at.
Most conditions like this where doctors "just don't know", often make the victim feel and be seen as a hypochondriac. Like finding a needle in a haystack with finding the way out.
So yes, Ragdoll's condition was one that was hardly known of, so it's easy to claim drugs. I feel for the dude. I also feel for his pink penis going into Hey hey you you I don't wantchour girlfriend!
holy shit!!!!!!!!! bingo!!!!!! thats fucking me, doctors will perscribe you heartburn medicine and it dosent do shit, i wieghed 115 pounds last febuary, now i weigh 160 and i still have the barfing/gagging problem but i have learned to just hold my food down, except for the last 2 days i wished i had a bed right over a nice clean toilet.
brooks, do you have anymore info on this subject? i had a gastroblahblah a year ago and they didnt find anything serious. cigs are another problem with this too.
Smoking may have a little to do with it, as I know all the people who had this were smokers. I'd find another Gastro, and have that full throat tube thing done. If they don't do that, then they're not fit to be a Gastro.
There's also no harm in finding a second, third, forth opinion. There are so many doctors that don't update their study, nor do they keep learning the newest of techniques. If it's not a common illness, most won't take the time to do further research.
But yes, this is actually a very common illness, although doctors haven't kept up with modern day practice enough to take care of this.
