What Is Causing My Son's Digestive Track Problems?
my son is 19 and is having some digestive problems. i dont know if it is gallbladder,ulcer,digestive problem or something else. he is sick almost every day from eating anything,and is not eating much at all anymore. i am very worried about him it has been going on for over a year but is getting worse. he also takes over the counter heartburn med. and just 3 days ago started taking prevacid to see if it would help. he also has chest pains-does not smoke,is not overweight.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The issue of your son`s digestive system, relates to alteration in gut flora mechanics from various parameters. I recommend basic work up with ultrasound and upper GI
endoscopy to figure out the best possible treatment guidelines.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
