I had an EGD this morning. It looked pretty good, but he did dilate me a little bit. He also gave me 3.5 L of fluid including a banana bag. I feel better, not best, but I am keeping fluid down! I am to do a couple days of clears, advance to full liquids and then eventually go back to soft foods. His explanation is that I've gotten so dehydrated it makes me too nauseous to drink fluid. It is a viscious cycle that quickly spirals out of control. Wish me the best because this is the worst.

Man, what you have been going through sounds miserable. I am glad he gave you so much fluid and some vitamins! I almost mentioned that when you get dehydrated you beome even more nauseous. Sounds counterintuitive but it is true. Hoping for you that the fluids and some dilation will help.

i know you aren't particularly interested in anything, but sip, sip, sip. You want to keep your hydration level up. Hope this take care of everything and you can get back to normal.

This too will pass. It doesnt seem like it right now but things will improve and you WILL be able to eat again. Take it easy....lots of liquids, low and easy. Popsickles, etc.

Hang in there and post when you need to.

Blessings!!!

I also have the problem that I can't eat when I get dehydrated. When I'm feeling that I can't eat, I find that Unjury Chicken Soup Protein sits well. I use one scoop in 8 oz of warm water. The sodium in this product seems to help it sit better in my stomach, then I can get back to drinking and more.

Take Care
