What Causes Abdomen Problems With Low Appetite?

im 80 yrs now but have ALWAYS had stomach problems and trouble wanting to eat unless I chew the food at least 50 chews, etc...I was anorexia at young age and food was pureed by mom...im reasonably healthy but still have stomach problems, gerd, small hernia eshophagus, ulcers, now cured, IBS, etc...just have learned to live with it...take nexium, or prilosec, many tests and rx my life, but was wondering just now if having drank kerosene when I was maybe 4 or 5 could have done something to my stomach...i suppose a crystal ball would be in order...sorry, but I was thinking perhaps thats what happened to me and I thought I would tell my GI dr...but feel somewhat foolish after all these years

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of being 80 years and but always had stomach relate problems like IBS, GERD, Ulcers and so on. You are just wondering whether drinking kerosene when you were 4 or 5 could have caused these problems.
No, not at all as many people drink and burp up kerosene at magic show to lighten the torch or so and they never get any problems.
Since you are 80, the life becomes slow and you can really keep all the factor that instigate or enhance the stomach problems. You will be fine and healthy.
