Hi,

Sorry to hear that you're suffering like us all. Yes I do have bowel problems, and I'm also under weight. Since having my first bowel operation in 2009 I have developed an eating disorder and can't eat solid foods everyday. I have to go days, sometimes weeks without eating foods, I mostly stick to a liquid diet so it doesn't cause me any pains unlike when I eat anything solid my bowels hurt, feel irritated and inflamed by food. I have been diagnosed with celiac disease so I'm on a GlutenFree DairyFree Soyafree Red Meat free diet. Sometimes I can't even eat my foods. I have been given meal replacement drinks by my dietician.

Have you been tested for celiac disease? Are you seeing a dietitian?

Sweety.

I know how you feel, along with endo I have to deal with celiac disease, thinning of my bones, disc protrusion in my spine, IBS, exhaustion, lack of sleep and lastly eating disorder. My dietician has given me Fresubin meal replacement drinks😢

It's hard being a woman and trying to handle everything all at once😪

My drinks are similar to fresubin, if I can't eat much or tolerate much I'll be getting a feeding tube put back in..

Oh no! That sounds awful. I pray that doesn't happen to you or to me.
