Question: I am significantly overweight due to inability to exercise and morphine use. Both are related to severe injuries in and out of military. I have diagnosis of gulf war syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome. None of them likely to have any bearing on this issue, but that is background. Also, I do not think the doctors who made those garbage pail diagnoses like fibromyalgia and gulf war syndrome are necessarily correct, nothing specifically addresses causation.

Problem is as follows...eating hamburgers here in UK, not in USA which I was in recently again (being native to USA) seem to give me severe upset stomach. Pain, intense pressure, like stomach massively overfull. After six or so hours it goes away. Did not happen in USA. UK burgers seem much leaner, more dense, less fatty. Today the ONLY thing I had to eat was at 7pm. Two burger patties on a bun with lettuce and mayonnaise. Within twenty minutes of finishing, felt very poorly as described. It is now 11pm, still feel very bloated, overfull, stretched even though the above burger was the only thing eaten all day since four am. Secondary concern, perhaps an issue that may be related to cause, is whether or not it is possible I have an undiagnosed hairball, and how it would be diagnosed. I sometimes chew ends of my beard or moustache, have for years. I do not eat whole hairs. If anything, I chew sections of a single millimeter or so off and though entire hairs do regularly get eaten, it is always ched into tiny bits. Could it still be accumulating, and would it then be a cause pf this problem or would the hairs in tiny bit sections pass through digestion with food and such?
