Have Bowel Movement Once A Week. Trouble Swallowing Food, Chest In Pain. On Pepcid. Why Dizziness?

Hello i am now 15 years old, and i hae a bowel movement once a week and this happens every week and has been happening since..... maybe 6 years old. But it has gotten worse, i have trouble swallowing food cause it hurts my chest , i took pepcid and dexilant but they hurt my stomache. I have been diagnosed with gurd, i have frequent diharrea, fire buring pain in lower stomache. And on some days i have like a feeling like when you just jog and your side hurts only i did nothing and it is in the upper left spot below my rib cage. I m supposed to have an endoscopy soon but it is taking too long to schedule the appointment. What can i at least do before i have the appointment to make the pain die down some. And oh i feel nauseous while eating dairy porudcts so the doctor made me stop for a while and it seems to stop that part of my diet, tomato sauce irritates it, i belch, have flatulance, and my stomache grumbles VERY loudly before and after a meal it is really embaressing. Ad i don t know if this has anything to do with is but i have a 3 white spots on my spine and a dark line going down it and it hurts.. Sometimes just the thought of food makes me nauseous, i get headaches and get dizzy often, and i bloat everyday, and have just experienced some weightloss of 10 pounds over the course of possibly one week... any suggestions?

Hi,

I have read your query and here is my advise.

* As the description narrates, there is motility disorder of some sort due to various reasons as enzyme issues or else.

* You must get upper and lower GI endoscopy for best possible diagnosis.

* Till you proceed for the same
- consume plenty of liquids in sessions
- high fiber diet with plenty of green leafy veg
- avoid dairy fat as told by your doc
- avoid smoking or alcohol if consuming
- regular walking, aerobics
- avoid stress and anxiety
- bulk forming laxative as ispaghula husk every night

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
