Gastro-esophageal reflux, more commonly known as heart burn, which happens when contents of the stomach rise up in the throat causing a burning sensation and difficulty swallowing.\n\nGastric or duodenal ulcers which affect the surface of the digestive tract causing pain and bleeding.\n\nMotility problems which occur when the stomach has difficulty emptying itself which causes nausea and vomiting and can lead to reflux.\n\nThese problems resemble each other and cause similar symptoms: pain, nausea, regurgitation, gas, loss of appetite and weight. They can, however, be distinguished from one another by the time of their onset, their exact location, their frequency, etc. So it's important to be as precise as possible when describing symptoms to your doctor.

Instead of treating the disease why not cause itself be treated? This will be a life long solution.\nOvereating and eating without hunger are the causes of gas trouble.\nFirst avoid overeating. \nYou should not eat without hunger. Eating without hunger is to pour water on fire. The food doesn't digest. This undigested food produces gases.\nHave a glass of warm water + 1/2 Lemon (juice) early in the morning. Then go for toilet or walk. After walk your bowels will clear. If bowels are clear hunger is also natural. \nIf you don't feel hunger two hours after you take lemon water, then avoid solid breakfast and take some citrus fruits. Have light lunch or food after you feel hunger.\nThis way you improve your hunger; the problem will be solved.\nIf hunger is not the problem then overeating, repeated eating and not giving enough rest for stomach are the causes of gas trouble. Keep 5 1/2 hrs. space if you have full protinous meal. \nIf you feel burning sensations-excessive acidity- then you avoid spices, alcohol, sour and pungent foods. In this case be a fruitarian or survive on raw food-sprouts + salads. Milk is also very good. Have a glass before sleep.\nAvoid repeated tea intervals. It produces toxic matters.\nThus please find the cause, do some experiments, keep its observations and be your own doctor. Medicine is useless.

There are treatments for this condition. She is 28 years old. Why didn't you take her to a gyno or nutritionist etc. years ago.  She should be given help to alleviate these symptoms.

See an M.D.  \nShe probably needs a catheter.  Her body may be shutting down at the age of 90.

How weird, my mom just had this, and I had never heard about it before that. All the above is correct, but I just wanted to add that you ought to get it treated soon and change your diet around accordingly. My mom almost died from it, which is unheard of, and she ended up having a foot of intestine being taken out. Watch out! It can get pretty damn serious.

Only with adult onset type 2 diabetes mellitus. If you got it when you were a kid, forget about it, you'll need medicine for the rest of your life. \nBut if you developed it at an older age, it is most likey type 2, and can be controlled with strict diet and exercise. Not definite, but it is always worth a try. Here is a good diet I would suggest:\n\n\nFirst of all, (very important) don't eat ANY type of meat . This includes any soups that have a beef/chicken stock as the base. So buy vegetarian vegetable soup...not just vegetable soup, and eat it for supper(Campbell's (don't buy generic brand..its bland). This also includes milk. No cow milk. Buy some Soy milk. I promise it is delicious..I use 8th continent original soymilk. And this is 100% healthier than cow milk. This will help you alot. \n(no butter for a week!!, no ranch dressing, no sour cream...nothing of the sort...and try to lay off of the cheese unless it is soy cheese) \n\nSecond of all, no candy bars, chocolates, donuts with frosting center, cakes, ice cream....just go 1 week without sweets  \nI usually eat oatmeal for breakfast, and I either cut up fresh peaches, strawberries or even canned peaches and I don't need any sugar. \nFor a good snack in between I drink a mug of hot lemon water with honey added to sweeten. \n(*when feeling hungry, drinking a mug/cup of anything warm will ease your hungry tummy*) \nFor snacks when craving sweets: eat almonds, peanuts, soynuts, raisins, ovaltine mixed with soymilk is ok on this detox diet, drink a big cup of orange juice, eat fresh fruit, apples, oranges, strawberries, etc. \nEat vegetables and rice. Can buy frozen packages of broccolli, cauliflower, carrots, and raw type as well for snacks. \nGot a blender? Make smoothies with your new fruit selections, a natural, detoxing milkshake. Just don't use yogurt(which is cow milk based), >>>but add some soymilk, orange juice, bananas and strawberries for a shake that is out of this world!!!! \nI have always used this as my way to start exercising again. \n\n(tip: Slim Fast products have always helped me too(even though the shakes are cow-milk based). They have a meal bar called "fruit & nut bar" that is great. If i wake up and want to go for a jog or exercise, I take about 2-3 bites (don't eat whole bar before exercising) and it helps me feel not-sluggish during my workout.) \n\nMajor tip: anyone over the age of 20 should be taking a daily vitamin. I HIGHLY suggest buying some multivitamins (i use a woman's weight smart MV), Super B-Complex, and Vitamin C. These 3 are a must-take-each-day and you'll see an even better change in a couple of weeks. If I am feeling bloated, I buy diurex water pills and take for 5-7 days as well.\n\nFollow this strictly and you WILL see a change & feel better, that is a promise!\n\n(warning: if you have any cardiovascular problems at all do Not use water pills unless it is ok'd by your doctor, as it will interfere with your High BP medicine; and as always, if you are on any medications discuss any dramatic new diet choices with your doctor as it could affect the purpose of your medicine.)

Does she have a problem with her digestion? Better out than in.

definately! A homeopathic remedy called Baryta-carbonica is prolly just what she needs. in 6x or 12x potency 3 times a day.(If you are in the US this should be easy to get) along with that : HYDRATION.. making sure the elderly drinks even more than they feel like is very importat since the elderly often lose their sense of thirst, sadly most elderly are dehydrated and that has a really big effect on the memory.

The treatment would depend on why she is having muscle spasms. Are they due to trauma/injury? If so, mom_overboard's reccommendations are good. It is also possible that it could be a nutritional imbalance related to potassium, sodium, or calcium levels. the only way to determine if this is the problem is to see a physician & have lab work drawn(chemistry analysis).

I'm assuming her doctor doesn't think it is a major problem since she or he told her to take gas-x. Some great things that help me with general tummy troubles are yogurt (not the diet kind), mint tea and camomile tea. She should also start keeping a journal of what she eats and see if there is a problem with certain foods. If it is just painful gas (and nothing else) there are some foods she should stay away from:\nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/tm6319.asp\nhttp://www.swedish.org/19979.cfm\n\nEdit: You mentioned that it hurts "when she eats". Does the pain start when she is eating or after? If after, how long? She needs to pinpoint the time it starts.

I suggest you see a health care specialist. it sounds like you might have something more serious. my mom went through some symptoms like that when she had fibro mengia. which is fatigue, massive times of urinating and pain or dizziness and the blahs. or it could be something as easy as like when i had mono (the kissing disease) i didn't feel like eating all my body wanted was sleep and i couldn't stop myself from falling asleep at weird times and places. but since i am not a doctor it could be something else completely. just go get checked out! wish you all the best!

First of all, be patient. It's not easy, but try to imagin what is like for her to be in that position. Mostly if she is just 42.\nNow, it would be great if you can help her to come up with something that she can work in from home. For example: create an online bussines. It doesn't have to be big, you know. Or, see if there are any opening for columnists at your local paper. Something she could do from home and that can bring her benefits and ease her mind.\nShe could also create a support group for people with health issues like her. Maybe even a blog. These are just ideas.\nAs for you, with her desease, try to be with her: pay attention to when her doctor appointments are, the medicines she should take and when. Listen to her, ask what the doctors said, what does she believes she could do. Try to entertain her: rent a movie, cook her a yummy meal, help her clean up around. It's not an easy situation, but good stuff can come up from there!\nGood luck!

She is entirely too young to be doing this.  Is she sickly?  My mom is going to be 60 this fall and she works 2 jobs and is a totally vital healthy woman.  I just turned 40 and we both work at the same Mental Retardation Facility as RNs.  I have the utmost respect for her skills as an RN and she is as sharp as a tack.\n\nPerhaps she needs to get a boot in the bottom to get her to see that she is not living, but merely existing.  \n\nIf she complains about the food, say "You have a kitchen in your apartment, go find something to eat if this doesn't suit you.  Otherwise, please be quiet about it."

Try some Mylanta or Milk of Magnesia - those old people are on to something! That'll usually kill a stomach ache real quick.

Your mother should be doing exercises of any kind.  bike riding is great and will increase her pulse, but first, she should undoubtly see a doctor.  This is not normal at all.

Take her to your doctor straight away.\nI had similar problems 14yrs. ago and was diagnosed with heart disease, But don't worry it could be something else just make sure.
