!!!Lost 30lbs in 3 Weeks--- Help

[drew_turner]

Hello, I am a slightly obese 25 year old white male. I have history of depression/anxiety, high blood pressure, and irritable bowel syndrome. My current condition is as follows. The past 2 years I have had an abnormal amount of what I call "stomach viruses" flare up, 3-4 a year causing 2-3 days of vomitting and diarrhea. i first time I went to the doctor all blood work was normal. The second time I went with an episode I tested positive fo H Pylori (spelling). I was given a round of antibiotics but was unable to finish it due to it making me sick. Now for the current  condition. I started a colon cleansing program at the begining of the year for a few days, I stopped it, then a week later I had diarrhea and vomiting for 2 days. Everything returned to normal then at the begining of this month I had a major wreck, broke both arms and had brusing across my left chest and lower right chest (which they did no abdominal ct on). I was fine at first, i came home I took pain meds for 2 days then quit because I didn[t like the way I felt. A week later I took a trip to my parents house, I ate a meal containing alot of fat , which I had been eating since the wreck. On the way home I suddenly felt extremely nauseated and sick to my stomach, and ended up having a panic attack. The first one I ever had. A chest CT was done and was positive, no abnormal blood work. While in the Er I also had severe diahrea, which was thought to be nerves. I was sent home with vistaril and bp medicine, I took those a few days but the blood pressure medicine was too strong so I stopped. following that I contiued a normal diet and began having diahrea and feeling nauseated when I ate. My son also had diahrea at the same time so I figured we had contracted a stomach bug. However, after a few days his went away and mine worsened. I felt very week and went to the doctor. I was diagnosed with gastritis and given aciphex and levbid. I took those and it seemed to releive symtpoms slightly. I did as directed and stopped food and only drank clear liquids for 2 days. I then started back eating toast and bland foods and began having diahrea again along with pains in my upper right abd and on the right side right under my ribs.After eating just small amounts of food I would feel extremely bloated. I wouldn't have immediate diahrea, but a few hours later I'd either have diahrea or loose stools which were pale in color and appeared to have mucous in them. I went back to the doctor and he said it may be my gall bladder so I had an ultarsound done which showed "sludge". No gall stones and I am having a HIDA scan done Monday. I have lost 30 lbs in the past 3 weeks. I had to go to the  ER last night because I felt extremely weak They said I was dehydrated but other labwork was normal it took the nurse 7 times to start an IV and they gave me a liter of fluid. I felt better and came home ate, felt bloated but the pain in my side didn't return. After I woke up I felt very week, I had loose stool. I then drank some apple juice and shortly after felt extremely weak as if I were about to pass out and begain having diahrea with liquid and mucous in it. I drank some water and eventuallhy felt better. I called the doctor and he sent me "Atropine" pills to take for the diahrea which seemed to releieve the symptoms. Again, my side pains were gone and hadn't returned yet. Later in the evening I ate some noodles with chicken boullion and some toasted. I felt bloated but not as bad... 5 hours later I  felt a little ill, I had a bowel movement which consisted of a strand of mucous, water, and some strange quarter sized white object that appeared to be a mucous ball. But my side pains are still not present anymore, just bloating. Any ideas?

Have you tried metamucil and motillium?  It sounds like IBS to me or sluggish bowel.  But as a nurse I have seen sick patients with sludge

STOP COLON CLEANSING....very bad for you....the colon has good  bacteria in it that fights all the bad bacteria...if you rid the colon of that bacteria your defenses are all the way down.  

as far as your other symptoms have a colonoscopy/endoscopy done by the gastro it will tell them everthing.  They then will be able totreat your symptoms

Good luck
