I have nausea, urgency, discomfort,3-4 loose or liquid bowel movements daily and have lost 10 lbs in 6 mos.  I have had stool samples taken & tested and do not have a diagnosis yet.  I do not have insurance which makes it difficult to get tested or treated.  Any ideas?

Did you eliminate 100% of all lactose for 2 weeks?  Did you eliminate 100% of all gluten (including all the hidden sources of gluten, like soy sauce) for 2 months?

Thanks, I've tried that and that's not it.  I guess I'm gonna have to look around for a specialist that will work with me financially. Thanks for your help

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  I would recommend that you try eliminating either lactose or gluten from your diet to see if that helps.  If it doesn't help, you probably need to see a gastroenterologist about your problems.
