My son is 33 years old, who suffers from chronic abdominal pains and severe vomiting. He has lost a considerable amount of weight, probably weighting 120 lbs and is 5ft 11ins. He knows he has issues, but is trying to minimize the problem. He cannot eat in front of people, even family, and pushes food around the plate. It is a miserable existence for all. His girlfriend of 4 yeas left because she could not stand it any longer. I don t blame her.
