Hello My name is Jeff and im 19 years old no health conditions or problems previous to this
My pain all started about 7 months ago after eating some chicken. I was perfectly fine up untill one day I had severe stomach pain, sweating, shortness of breath, burping, gas, acid reflux
syptoms
-severe upper, middle and lower stomach pain (cramping,bloating, gas pressure pains)
-diarhea the first 3 weeks of pain
-now it seems more like constipation
-thin pale foul smelling stools, more frequent bathroom trips
-bloating after eating
-gas,burping
-shortness of breath do to pain and pressure from gas
I have been through all blood tests, urine tests, stool tests, endoscopys, all negative for any disease except low vit D
I have been to naturpath doctors and they told me to go gluten free for 1 month which didnt help at all.
After doing a endoscopy my stomach pain was twice as bad, it must have gotten irritated from doing the test, I went to the hospital 3 times in 1 week, each time they didnt help me. I had no appetite at this time either and barely ate anything.
I just recently went for computerized stress test (biomerdian.com) it measures your vitamin levels, food allergies, and can detect parasites. I was diagonsed with giardia, I was given natural medinces to fight the parasite. This was tested a few days after doing the scope and i was in severe pain at this time. after 1 week of taking the natural medicine I felt better then I did and didnt feel like it was so painfull as to go the hospital but still really bad. I also had more of a apetitite.
Now 1 month and a half later after taking the natural stuff, symptoms are still severe and dont seem to be improving much after the initial improvement, I went to do the test again my levels keep improving but I was told that my body was getting used to the medicine i was taking and it wont work anymore I was prescribed a new pill called para-gone I believe.
I still didnt feel better so i went to my doctor and got antibiotics (flagyl 500 mg for 7 days)
4 days later its not better but seems even worse.
The doctor who did computer test said this is a higher strain of giardia going around and can be hard to fight off but i dont know what to believe, My doctor doesnt believe in this biomerdian test.
I dont know what to do anymore, im gona keep taking the antibiotics, but I fear they wont work.
