I have had stomach issues for 8 months. It started after a bad bout of watery diarrhea last fall. I started having ulcer symptoms, heartburn, reflux. Then it turned into nausea, constipation, bloating, dizziness, loss of balance and a bubbling feeling in my intestine. I have been to the doctor 10 times and had multiple tests including numerous blood tests, an upper GI, small bowel, and CT.First they said I had gastritis, then they thought it was H Pylori. I have tried antibiotics, bentyl, probiotics, magnesium. During this time I lost 16 pounds, I am already small so it is NOT good for me to lose weight. I need to gain weight as I am getting married soon and need want desperately to be back to normal! I went to a naturalist and started taking 5HTP for anxiety and a natural laxitive for the constipation.
Recently I told the dr about my stress and he said it must be IBS. The last three days have been bad, back pain, chest pain, abdominal pain, and severe diarrhea. I had it for 2 hours straight monday and freaked out because it was clay colored, with mucous, pieces of food, and what looked like fat. I went to the ER thinking it was a liver issue, they did xrays and blood work and told me that i was fine. Tuesday I did not have any BM just pain throughout abdomen chest and back. I don't want to feel this way anymore. Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
