Nausea, Vomiting, Abdominal Pain. X-ray Shows Dilated Small Intestine. What Can I Do?
Hi, a little background. I have had nuclear test, ultra sound and other test to see if it was my gallbladder. and all test were negative. I had a scope down the mouth and the only thing I had was inflamed stomach and esophagus. I was hospitalized for this issue in November for 6 days. I continue to have this problem. I have recently been to the ER for stomach issues nausea, vomiting and extreme abdominal pain located in the center and right upper portion. At that time the x-ray taken showed a dilated small intestine. I been looking for what this is and what I can do to help the issue. If you can please tell me where I can find info or if you know anything about this. I need to know what foods to avoid, what treatment is available or anything else that me be know about this. Because I can only find things about obstruction and I am worried.
Thank you Jamie

Hello,
You're suffering from gastritis and Esophagitis. This may be due to GERD(gastroesophageal reflux disease).
The basic pathology is laxed LES(Lower esophageal sphincter).
Due to this there may be increased Aerophagia(Increased swallowing of air) which may be entrapped in the Upper GI.
Spicy foods, carbonated drinks, smoking and alcohol should be avoided.
Proton pump inhibitors is the drug of choice.
Consult a Gastroenterologist.
