Help Me

Hi,
I have the following symptoms : Frothy loose stools, acidity, headache, excessive heat generation in the body, unexplained weight loss (was 68kg but now reduced to 57kg without any exercise), undigested food in the stools, discomfort after having meals,  breathlessness(sometimes)  for the past two years. Before an year all the tests were taken....endoscopy, colonoscopy, blood test, urine test, stool test .... which turned out to be normal. Can anyone suggest what is the reason for this and what is the treatment to be done without any medicines? Coz taken so much of medicines. Please help me out.
Regards

Maybe you have developed a food alergy or an alergy to perservatives in the food. You could try eleminating certain foods out of your diet one at a time, starting with the ones that are not digesting. I'm not a doctor, I'm just throwing a suggestion your way.

I will try for tyramine and histamine intolerance and get back to you.

I am eating only home food. I am not adding any spices to it. It will be very plain. Am not including chilly or masala powders in my food.

The suggestion to eliminate foods out of the diet that may be causing you problems is a wise one.  Actually, all fast food restaurants would have to be out while on such a diet.  This, because they all use the cheapest forms of "food" and it's ALL loaded with preservatives.  They are full of unpronounceable and unrecognizable chemicals.  Definitely stop all soda pop.  On an elimination diet, you would have to stop even the natural ones that use cane sugar, because you would have to stop all obvious sugar and all forms of obvious sugar.  The worst one would definitely be High Fructose Corn Syrup, which has been found to be greatly worse than table sugar.  Be aware that there are all kinds of hidden corn based sugars in processed and packaged foods.

On an elimination diet, you would stop all the foods to avoid all at once, not one at a time.  You would avoid all the known allergens for a prescribed amount of time, which is usually a minimum of two weeks, then you would start the challenge of the various foods.  You need more detailed instructions than this, which is why you should do this under the directions of a naturopath.  Sugar would be the last thing to challenge.

Google Tyramine Intolerance.  The website I found when I did this in regards to migraine disorder said that most people with IBS also have Tyramine Intolerance.  No doubt this is why everything on the list of things to avoid is a huge problem for me.

If you Google Histamine Intolerance, too, you will find that there is a great deal in common concerning both issues.  Most of the foods on the Tyramine Intolerance list are also on the Histamine Intolerance list.

What was said above about asking you which meds you were taking when the symptoms started.  You can refine that to when you started to take the meds, too, because if the symptoms started at the same time, you may have found your culprit to your problem.
