![]() You can see the bile duct on this diagram. This is the tube that takes a fluid called bile from the liver to the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). Medicines such as steroids and certain types of anti-sickness medicine can help. It can also cause other problems like indigestion (a painful, burning feeling in your chest) and difficulty finishing even small meals. It can make you feel full all the time and feel sick. This is called delayed gastric emptying or gastroparesis. If this happens, food passes through the stomach more slowly. Pancreatic cancer can affect the nerves and hormones that control the stomach. If you have a blocked duodenum, your doctor will talk to you about the best treatment for you. Or you may have a hollow tube called a stent put in to open up the blockage and stop the sickness. ![]() This is an operation that connects the stomach to the small intestine below the blockage, so food can pass through. If you are having long term treatment and are well enough, you may have bypass surgery to treat the blockage. The food builds up in your stomach and makes you feel and be sick. The blockage can stop food passing out of the stomach into the duodenum. You can see the duodenum on this diagram. The cancer can block the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine. I would absolutely recommend you go to see your doctor with a list of your symptoms so they can advise you appropriately and get an action plan together.There are a few things that can cause sickness if you have pancreatic cancer. However, there are a number of conditions that could be causing your issues, including Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, especially if you get shaky, with Type 1 being very important to rule out ASAP because it’s life-threatening. I have prescription ant-acids to try and balance things out, which does help. Usually, my symptoms are gone by the morning because my digestive system has processed all the contents of my stomach, but the cycle repeats throughout the day. I have been diagnosed with excess stomach acid - when it’s particularly bad, I feel nausea in my stomach after eating and sometimes also pain in my intestines for hours afterwards, which is only alleviated by sleeping, and of course that makes me anxious to eat anything at all. It sounds like you’re describing a gastric issue or undiagnosed medical condition actually, rather than something totally related to IE, though that may be playing a very minor part. Hope this helps, otherwise maybe consult a doctor because you don’t want to start fearing food and avoiding eating. you don’t need to wait till you’re physically really hungry to eat. this is a sign of mental hunger and is often what your body sends signals for before physical cues. any time you find yourself thinking about food, eat. so maybe try snacking more to prevent getting too hungry (only when you want to, not by forcing yourself). I think this would help you eat less in one go, because it sounds like your body can’t resist large portions at once. even though i don’t physically feel it, once i begin to eat i realise i’m hungry. the minute i start thinking about what i’d like to eat next is when i’m actually hungry. but often we’re hungry before our body sends us that aggressive cue to eat in our stomach. i noticed you said you wait until you’re really hungry to eat. Now i eat a lot less but i eat the moment i start thinking about food. I used to feel like this at the beginning of my journey when i was ‘all in’ and was just eating everything i wanted (which was a lot).
