ok here goes help!

ok im a 24 year old female i do not drink or eat fried foods mostly greens and fruits 3  years ago my grandad died and i got Helicobacter pylori it took doctors a year to find out what was wrong in 2 weeks i had put on 2 and a half stone blood tests came back clear and my doctor said this was not normal but investigated no further my weight has steadily been rising since so from 10 stone i have gone to nearly 16stone Helicobacter pylori has  left me with terrible reflux lasting up to 2 weeks and ibs i bloat to the size of a heavily pregnant woman some times it feels like a stabbing pain in my skin i also suddenly break out in terrible sweats weather its a cold day or hot iv noticed red like stretch marks appear on my tummy in the last 3 months which can some times be very tender to touch the gym i go to 3 times a week have said they are not stretch marks but burst blood vessels and reduced what i was doin but they are getting worse  i know if i go back to my doctor he will give me another thyriod test which will come back clear and leave it at that probably thinking another obese woman making excuses for her size but every piece of advice i have been given from my gym iv taken on board and iv done food diaries for them and they say they cant understand why either done im just at a lose end

Check out that link with symptoms and causes of candida overgrowth or just google candida and see if it fits.  Your symptoms seems right and the causes; prolonged anti-biotics or ulcer treatment may fit also.  There are tests that can be conducted to prove/disprove, and if it is your problem it should be easy to fix and not require life-long meds.

Let me know if you think it may fit after you have researched it.  I would be interested to hear about it.

How did they determine H pylori?  Was the treatment antibiotics?  

Do the pains, bloating, fatigue...seem worse after eating?  Any other symptoms?
