Hello, I'm new to this page.
I have coeliac disease and Endometriosis. Since the summer I have been struggling with constant Diarrhea, Nausea, vomiting and weight loss. To the point where there is nothing left of me. I went back to work in August after having a baby and was a size 12. Now I'm a size 4/6! Was around 9 half stone and now 7 stone 8. I've lost my appetite and constantly feel nauseous. Every time I visit the loo I have Diarrhea.
End Of Oct I had chronic Diarrhea (like water for 24hrs) yellow colour. My stool got tested positive for inflammation. So been sent a referral to Gastro. My app isn't until end of Feb 2022! That's just a telephone call. I'm at the point where I don't know what to do? I feel I can't wait until end Of Feb? I have been back to the docs and he has prescribed me antibiotics called Metronidazole for a week. Then I have to get back in touch and see if it makes a difference? He told me Gastro would prescribed these whilst waiting for a diagnosis?? I am hoping he can expedite my referral or I'm thinking of going private. My family are very concerned about my weight loss and I just don't look the same person. I'm so weak and have no energy. I have a 1 Yr old and still working part time. I'm so fed up.
Any suggestions please to help me in this situation? Does it sound like an IBD?
Forgot to mention my Endo specialist thinks it's an IBD too and doesn't think it's Endometriosis on the bowel. But I'm not convinced as I only bleed through my bowel on my period? Thanks 😘
