Hi @GingerDelMarco,
Thank you for sharing your daughter’s story so openly. It’s clear how much you care about her and how exhausting this journey must have been for both of you. Many families find themselves in this difficult space where the symptoms are very frustrating but the answers are hard to reach, and your daughter is lucky to have such a determined advocate beside her.
I'm tagging a few other members to this post for better reach and to see if anyone has any insights. I hope this community can offer a few ideas or at least reassurance that you’re not alone in navigating this.

- Has anyone experienced persistent digestive symptoms despite normal test results?
- Have you or someone close to you felt constantly hungry but worse after eating?
- Were there any specialists, tests, or approaches that eventually helped clarify what was going on?
Sometimes hearing about another person’s journey can help point us toward new questions to ask or specialists to consult. If you’ve been through something similar, feel free to share your experience.
Take care,

My 22 year old daughter has been dealing with undiagnosed stomach/digestive illness for the past 5 years. As she explains it, she feels hungry constantly despite eating regular meals and eating more food just makes her feel more sick. It is becoming debilitating and making it very hard for her to live normally. She cannot eat fruits and vegetables, as that just causes additional stomach pain and gas.She is working with a Gastroenterologist and has had colonoscopies and endoscopies and everything always comes back normal. She has had gastric emptying tests and stool tests and everything comes back normal. She has had MRI’s and x-rays of her stomach.She has seen more than 25 doctors over the years including gynecologist, neurologist and endocrinologists. Everything comes back normal (Thank God!) but yet she is still suffering.What are we missing? Has anyone dealt with anything like this? Any advice or suggestions of where to go from here? Which type of MD or specialist may be able to help? Thank you in advance for your responses. It is greatly appreciated.
