My girlfriend is having problem with what we belive is her duodenum but has been unsuccessfull in getting any medical direction on how to best address or help her issue. She has progressively become very underweight over the past 10 years. Despite being very hungry she has trouble eating and frequently finds herself with a "full" sick feeling. She has has had an increasing problem over the years with reflux and vomitting --- she sometimes gets lucky and can have a stretch of a day or two without getting sick (but even then she is not able to eat anyore than usual). Her vomitting is frequently fully digested food/liquid. She has had repeated tests - endoscopy, colonoscopy, emptying test etc and the only explanation that has been potentially provided is that radiation treatments she had 40 years ago as a teen-ager may have damaged her duodenum. A while back she had been led to believe that her gall bladder was pressing on duodenum so she took the steps to have it removed, but unfortunately that didn't seem to correct the issue.

So at this point she is concerned as her weight keeps dropping and has not been given much in terms of thoughts of what she can do to help her situation. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks
