Stomach issues;

[orangesunshine]

Can anyone explain to me what’s wrong with me?

Stomach issues came about about a year and a half ago

Symptoms include

1) rumbling stomach/ constant 24 hours 7 days a week any time all the time since this started a year and a half ago, still rumbling as I type this, I’m so usto this it’s embarrassing people look at me like I’m crazy cuz u can hear it if ur next to me

2) direah- it was 24/7 as well multiple times a day; subsided since my C diff treatment but is still NOT normal as you can see

3) bloating; it feels like my organs are inflimated and my stomach is gona explode; even if I go on a 3 day water fast, which I do quite often because of my pain and feeling like my stomach will pop so I refrain from eating

4) burping, burping for no damn reason I kno this is related to my bloating because when I burp it makes my bloating feel better

5) weight loss- lost over 35 pounds but gained it back after my C diff treatment

I was originally treated for h pylori and then retested negative

I was then tested positive for C diff disease

I was treated but have not retested for it since I no longer had Dirreah; however my stool is definitely not normal as you can see below

I have done

C-t Scan

Ultra Sound

X ray

Colonoscopy

Endoscopy

MRI

Blood work (para-pack; candidas; liver panel; regular blood work, etc)

Nothing comes up in the test besides the c diff and they treated me for that

Now everybody thinks I’m crazy, my doctor thinks I’m crazy, my family thinks I’m crazy, they all think I’m crazy because I’m in so much depression and sadness and pain because my stomach doesn’t feel normal and nobody can ever help me because the tests don’t show anything so I’m unhelpable,

There will be a point where I test positive for something and then they say I only have a limited time to live and tell me “if we had seen it earlier” and it’s like ironic because I am now trying to convince everyone there is something wrong with me.

This sucks; living like this absolutely sucks

And now I’m waiting for my specialist to refer me to an “Infectious disease doctor” to see if I have candidiasis in my blood.

I’m 25 male

Workout/run but this has been holding me back and ruining my life; already ruined my life..

What is missing is your diet.

What do you eat and how much?

If you are living off 4000 calories of PF Chang and Taco Bell, that might be an issue.

Too much healthy things (like tofu) can cause yeast issues.

Have you tried adding yogurt to your diet to balance the bacteria?

Couple of things ,

You are not alone! Even I got these symptoms and been dealing with it for more than 10 years now, try the following remedies

1) over the counter probiotics

2) yogurt in your diet

3) ask your Gastro to test for SIBO ( Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)

4) keep track of your diet and follow low FODMAP diet ( some food could make your symptoms worse)

5) take peppermint tea to calm your stomach/intestines

6) could be IBS-D but hard to tell, check with your Gastro

7) stay positive
