Hello Mykella, and Welcome,
I was also diagnosed in Sept. of '95. It is odd that these stomach troubles
would spring up 3 years after TM diagnosis. It's possible, but I'd consider
other possibilities first, including medications you may be on. You mentioned
many tests, so I assume they've checked for ulcers and other things that would
come to mind. I'd be interested to hear if other TMers experience this. I felt
nauseated and had little appetite the first two weeks of TM, and occasionally
will have an unexplained out-of-the-blue wave of nausea, but nothing like you
are describing. Hope they can find the problem soon!!
