Not to be too much TMI, but does anyone else suffer with stomach issues that lead to nausea, stomach pain, and loose stools that have blood in them? I have had a colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy but they have told me my intestinal tract looks healthy as they come. But yet, I eat a certain food or start to flare or get overly stressed my stomach immediately goes downhill fast. Already lost 10 pounds in the last 4 days.
Maybe if I get into this new rheumatologist i can ask for a referral to gastro as well because Ive been living off gatorade, flat coke, and some crackers for days now and lost 10 pounds and I can easily drop 25 under 2 weeks as I have previoualy done. The gastro and p.a. both said all tests and egd and colonoscopy were normal so its just dyspepsia and ibs. Only nothing works for the dyspepsia not even when they had me at 80 mg of prilosec and the bentyl kind of helps the stool issue but nlt the pain or ability to eat. Thanks for the advice
So glad you went back to a doctor and glad you're being treated.
Well i found i have h.pylori though not surprised. And im going to see a different gastro as occult blood in stool was positive. Very bland diet for me for now.
I would seek out another opinion from another gastro doc.
They get loose and its a mix of dark and bright. I stopped seeing a gastro because they said they couldnt do anything. I end up getting this feeling like theres not enough room under my left ribcage like the organs are pushing up. My stomach went completely normal on prednisone better than when i take bentyl. It happens with almost anything i eat even all the good stuff like vegetables. Like in an hour its god awful acid reflux that takes many hours to leave. Just at a loss
