mega-mom replied: "oh bummer!! im so sorry! all i can think of is that you're still making milk, and you know, pumping is NOT an accurate measure of your milk supply.. just nurse every feeding, offer a little formula right afterward, keep on the medication too.. make sure your doc is 100% breastfeeding supportive!!
oh yea, DEFINITELY pump more than every 3 hrs!! try to pump? nurse every 2 hrs (or even 1 1/2 hrs,) the more the better!!"
Mama Doula replied: "The hospital cannot force you to bottle feed. They can use threats and try to scare you into though, the same thing happened to me. I stuck to my guns and didn't let them push me around. What we did instead was weigh every diaper after each change. They tracked his weight that way. It's not as easy for the nurses but it does work. Contact your local LLL and see if someone can come talk to the head nurse with you. Is your son still in the hospital? And how long did you try any of the things you mentioned? Fenugreek can take up to two weeks to fully work for some women. Reglan can take three days or longer. The nursing teas don't really work for anything other than hydration. You need to be nursing the baby all day. Pump after he feeds. If you are pumping and getting your milk to let down and then you are not completely emptying the breast, you will actualyl DECREASE your supply because your body thinks baby doesn't need that leftover milk. Pumping more is not the answer. Neither is giving up breastfeeding all together. Contact the Lactation consultant at the hospital where your son is. Have them make a room call. If your son is home now, no more bottles. No more pumping. Relax and contact LLL and an LC. You can do this. You are doing a wonderful job."
My Fiancé throws up everyday and no doctor can find out why. Please help!? No doctor can find out why my fiance is throwing up everyday. Conceived our child in Sept 05 and was diagnosed with severe hyperemesis from pregnancy & was prescribed everything you can think of for vomiting such as Prilasec, Phenergan, Benadryl, Zofran, Reglan. Meds were tried in a combination & individually & nothing has worked. After the pregnancy the nausea and vomiting is still present and its been almost a year after birth. She is neaseated 50% of the time. Been to a nutritionist & modifications to diet and portion control, time of meals has been done. Been to gastro-intestinal doctor and they found nothing, doctors done a complete blood work up, ultrasounds & everything is normal, gallstone, pancriatitis, gastric reflux, problems with esophagus and digestive track, fatty liver, kidney problems are not present. She has lost three jobs because of this condition and in the process of filing for social security disability. Please do no suggest anything that has already been listed.

Donovan replied: "maybe he should do a total body cleanse. you can buy easy ones at your local health shop/ vitamin shop. some of these cleases only require a pill in the morning and at night.
If he was really interested in a body clease he should investigate further. Cleansing is such an amazing healer. To bad the FDA can't approve this as a cure for some diseases!!
Side note: for a REALLY good cleanse system have him start with:
Parasite Cleanse
Colon Cleanse
Kidney Cleanse
finally- most importantly- a Liver cleanse
He could go to a colon cleansing specialist that would cleanse his colon and intestines of potential disease and parasites.... Sure it is a bit uncomfortable and weird, but very good for your health.
Hope this helps."
ginger528_2000 replied: "I hear your frustrations and although there is no advice I can give you because I am not a Dr. but if I was your fiance I would do some research on the computer and also go to another Dr. to receive a second opinion from someone who specializes in the stomach area and get a blood test, x-ray, and maybe even a enema so they thoroughlly check this out. It sounds serious does she have any pains in her side maybe she is having an appendics attack. Other than that I don't know what else to suggest although I wish you both the best of luck in this matter."
Jennifer J replied: "I had a very similar problem from the ages of about 15 to 18. After months of taking different pills and changing my diet, I just kinda gave up when nothing helped. It finally pretty much went away on its own, although I occassionally still have flare ups. One thing to note is that during one of my endoscopies my doctor took a biopsy from my small intestine and found that all of my enzyme levels were very low (lactase, sucrase, maltase, etc.). I don't know if the changes in diet were just to cut out fatty foods, spicy foods, and caffeine, but cutting out dairy in case her lactase enzyme is low would be important. I know I didn't give much new information, but I hope I was somewhat helpful."
Alt Healer replied: "Hi Boi 757
Im sure she is feeding the body bad energy for one by focusing on the negative, instead of the positive. Have her read this and do one or all of the ideas below. Here is a list of steps I would do. Just doing one could change her health.
ANY Action is the key. Here is what I would do:
1. The 1st thing to do is write a list of all the things your thankful for in life and starting with your health. I want her to write a few paragraphs on how beautiful and healthy she feels every day! This is very important, so you're brain/body starts to heal itself immediately by programing your cells positivity. What you focus on will persist! If you focus on negative then you attract more negative. The same goes for positive. Write out your perfect day in detail on your health. Include your family, health, money, friends, job, ect. I want her to write exactly what you want and be excited when you write it! This is important! Just a change of attitude will start healing her. The body breaks down when people are not balanced and usually because they are not grateful for the things they currently have. Writing is a very powerful tool and take this serious. Place it where you can see it and FEEL the love and power in the letter and the energy surrounding you.
2. Are you drinking a gallon of distilled water a day? I do this daily and add some lemon to it (mornings) because it stimulates the liver which creates more bile for healing and even helps lose weight. I cannot stress enough the importance of drinking water. This is the most important physical item we americans dont understand (or act ignorant about). Just by doing this can change everything!
3. You need to get a juicer (powerjuicer.com has the best value) right away. You need to be juicing for nutrition and on a juice fast for 7 days or More. Healing the body starts with feeding good enzymes and this is the 1st step with nutrition. There is a great program on healmarketplace.com called "The Incurables" and is a 30-45 day program. The program also consists of doing a colon, liver, and kidney cleanses to help the organs get back to their true selves, so they can help heal the body. Ridding of toxins is the key and these main organs know how to do that. When you let the body rest from digesting processed foods and instead feed it nutrition: "The body will heal itself, all it needs is some assistance". This is what you need to do to truely get back to your healthy self.
4. Pain issues are another sign the body is unbalanced. Hydrotherapy can start the healing very quickly. This process has been around for thousands of years and can heal exclusively if done consisently. Using hot and cold water to stimulate new blood cells in the diseased areas of the body. Another idea for pain is Deep tissue oil from healmarketplace.com. I have people raving about this herbal concoction all the time.
5. You need yourself metally and emotionaly balanced as I mentioned in the 1st paragraph. Do you live with emotions on your sleeve? Feeling guilty, stressed just because, depressed, ect. You must find the love in the world and it's everywhere. We are all connected and be appreciative of all the positive and negative situations in your life. Even the so called negatives are teaching our souls to act and be sure to look for the good in everything.
6. Energy healing is very beneficial. From Pranic to Reiki are very effective on moving diseased energy out of the body. Everything is made up of energy (even scientists agree to this), so why cant we change out energy to be healthy consistantly.
I know this is probably overwelming info here, but reaching out to people is a great step on deciding you've been sick long enough and you're ready to take control of your life/health. Do something different (acupunture, chiro, swimming, or run around the block naked!). Change your patterns and the body will start to heal. Be grateful for what you have in life and you'll have more of it.
Best of health to you"
Stephanie H replied: "Sorry to hear about what your poor fiancee is going through.
I am going out on a limb here but maybe the hormone change from pregnancy some how upset her balance. Maybe she should start on some oral birth control pills to get a more stable level. This is just a random thought. You might want to explore complementary and alternative medicine techniques like biofeedback, acupuncture, and such. You also might want to consider a stress therapist or psychologist. There is a strong connection between the mind and body.
Good luck please extend my sincerest sympathies to your fiance."
Chris replied: "In the course of her doctor visits, has the word "gastroparesis" ever come about? If not, I would bring it up to her Primary Care Physician and especially to her GI Specialist. Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach takes a really long to empty. Ask for a "Gastric Emptying Scan" to be performed. It tests how long a food item stays in the stomach before passing through to the intestinal tract, and will either confirm or deny the gastroparesis diagnosis."
My daughter for a long time now has had problems keeping her food down!? She will eat and be fine and all of a sudden get awful nausea and bend over and just throw up everywhere. she doesn't do this 100% of the time but it happens a lot and more when she is in her monthly period than any other time. We have had her checked for gallbladder, they have run the light down her and dr. says her stomach is fine, but there has to be something wrong. Dr. puts her on Reglan and this stops the vomiting her food up but she still feels like she needs to but the medicine won't let her. Also my daughter is now 36 now with 4 children. Can anyone help? Has anyone had a situation like this one? She does have a lot of stress with raising 4 children and also we lost her brother 5 years ago and that too is stress. Sometimes she's fine but other times it's bad, bad. Just the last 2 months has had spells of being fine after she eats and then if she bends over she will get very nauseas and throw up everything so suddenly. There are times where she is sick, so sick for several hours and then there are times when she just throws up just once and then she ok. Has anyone faced anything like this, we need help!
Amusement replied: "hi, i have never heard of this before... but it sounds like the doctor has not found what is wrong with her... I have a friend... and she was having lots of problems.. and she kept going to the same doc and they couldn't find out what was wrong with her... until they finally went to another doctor.. and they found out what was wrong with her.. and it was serious..they put her on a strict diet and she is doing wrong... what did the trick for my friend was that she said it feels like there is a fire in her stomach... and that other doctor knew right off what was wrong with her... hope things go well for her.."
Becka N replied: "Stress could be contributing to the problem, if not causing it. She could have an ulcer, or a hernia. The same thing happens to my mom(who is also very stressed alot) and the doctor put her on Nexium, I think is what it's called. It helps with acid in the stomch. If she doesn't take it she gets like your daughter.
Maybe get a second opinion from another doctor because as I have found out the last couple months, some doctors are just plain awful.
The second opinion should put your mind at ease and hopefully offer up some better solutions for her problem.
Good luck!"
Maddox1527 replied: "I actually used to experience the same thing and it was really bad when i was on my period each month. I would just throw up unexpectedly and be in terrible pain. Mine was a stress related issue that was spurred on by the migraines i got when I would start my period each month. Does she have headaches with her problem? I asked around from a few doctors and said it could be indometreosis, which is pretty much bleeding outside the uterus. but that wasn't the case. eventually i found ways to relieve some stress in my life and things got better. Maybe you can suggest ways for her to relax more"
