WTF is going on with my body???

So you can't hold down food, have lost hella weight, and it's almost certainly something to do with your digestive system? It's pretty rare, but my mom had something (I can never remember the name, sorry) that had those effects, and she was below 100 pounds by the time it was figured out what she had and got surgery for it.
It was basically that she had an artery out of place that was putting pressure on her stomach, making it nearly impossible to eat solid food. She literally survived almost exclusively on protein shakes and ice cream for over a year, and when she did eat real food, she'd be sick and able to taste what she'd eaten for days afterward. Like I said, it's rare, but it may also be under reported since doctors often assume that the patient is just anorexic.
Not saying it's what you have, but just a little food for thought if the docs can't figure out what's wrong.
