Kathryn.. you always have the best posts.. it

was originally believed to be microfissures in the intestines [small rips and tears], then it was said to be overacidity that ate the intestinal walls away and is burning layer through layer of tissue, but the possibility of H. pylori is open now, too. Whatever it is, it HURTS and I really don't know how much more I can take of it! It's been about a year and a half now. My original plan was fasting, but I was told fasting wouldn't get rid of H. pylori. I used to have diarrhea all the time, but now it's constipation and nausea. For the past couple of weeks, to empty my stomach I'd force myself to throw up, but because of the detrimental affect it has, I turned to enemas instead. I can only hold about half a quart at each time [I imagine, due to the state of my intestines are in]. I've tried salt flushes, I've tried juicing laxative vegetables [beets, leeks, ect.] Usually with the laxative vegetables, I only get one bowel movement that leaves me feeling as full as ever. The laxative juices.. the salt flushes.. they all hurt so much! Enemas hurt very much too, but it's a guaranteed result.

I feel it everyday! Sometimes the pain gets so bad, it doesn't matter where I am.. the store, work, ect., I have to kneel down on the floor and scrunch myself up for a bit.
