I have been diagnoised with autonomic neuropathy.My digestive track is not working. Severe pain in my stomach area all the time. I take milk of magnesia, maalox, and have tried other over the counter aids. Doctor perscribed E.E.S.400 for infection and digestion. Nothing has helped! I am now eating only a liquid diet and getting weaker and weaker. Can anyone help me?

If your problem is so bad that you are in pain and are unable to maintain your weight, it's time for you to go into the hospital for a complete evaluation. Not just any hospital, but the biggest teaching hospital you can find. That way, you will access to all sorts experts with the latest treatments.

I appreciate everyones ideas about my stomach pain. My Dr has prescribed Neurontin 100mg. 3 times a day with meals. I am hurting less. Neurontin is a drug for another illness, but it is being used for different problems like diabetic neuropathy with some success. If anyone has any more ideas, I still would like to hear them. Thank you.
