Hi Guys, I've Had Persistent Nausea For Roughly 15 Months
Hi guys,
I've had persistent nausea for roughly 15 months now which from memory started on a holiday where i had drank coffee and ended up with anxiety symptoms. I have had heaps of testing done and an endoscopy actually found eosinophilic esophagitis (which is basically esophagitis caused from an allergy). I have been treated with a PPI which appears to not be helping and have also been prescribed Lovan (Prozac). I am currently one week into taking these tablets and have recently cut out gluten and dairy to see if the allergy was from these foods. The doctor did a RAST test which showed a class 0 allergy to all main food groups including wheat and milk so ive just started eating them again. I have just drank my first coffee in about a week and had severe panic symptoms and tight throat which i have never experienced before.....i would just like to know if a caffeine allergy is likely and could it be the cause of all these problems? I use to drink coffee fairly regularly and never quite felt great off it but it never seemed to make the nausea that much worse.
