Hi Everyone… I have had CIDP for about a year now. I noticed that my digestion has been really bad since I was first hospitalized. I eat and then I don’t feel like my food is digesting at all. It frequently feels like a brick in my chest and causes a lot of uncomfortable pressure. The only way I am able to relieve it is going to the bathroom and making myself vomit… Does anyone else have this problem?? ---

Hi LadyDi, gosh that doesn’t sound very fun. Have you come across anything that helps? I did a quick search and found this discussion: > [@Stomach problems](http://forum.livingwithpolyneuropathy.org/t/stomach-problems/698): > > Hi, I was diagnosed in 2012 and have had an array of symptoms since, any question I put to my neuro is always answered with 'We don't know enough about it', which may be true but doesn't really help-he doesn't seem to now much. One of the problems I seem to have is random pains (not constipation) and most annoying is a lot of bloating. I have had a pelvic scan (my mum had ovarian cysts) but the result was normal. However, I contacted a group in the UK who said they had heard of a link between CI… Maybe there is some information here that will help you. Happy Monday 🙂 Meli from Mod Support
